Although the use of alcohol and drugs by surgery residents is of concern, no large-scale studies of this specific population exist.
A one-page, 36-item questionnaire on frequency of use of alcohol and drugs was administered to residents at the conclusion of the American Board of Surgery In-Service Examination.
The survey showed that the use of drugs by surgery residents is relatively low when compared to drug use by other physicians. However, alcohol abuse continues to be a problem, and alcohol is the drug of choice of most residents. Cocaine used by surgery residents is generally obtained from hospital sources.
Despite the optimistic findings of the survey, the authors advocate the following: Implementation of educational programs to prevent potential abuse of alcohol and drugs, and establishment of tighter controls on cocaine or use of a cocaine substitute for patient care.
尽管外科住院医师使用酒精和药物的情况令人担忧，但尚无针对这一特定人群的大规模研究。
在美国外科委员会在职考试结束时，向住院医师发放了一份关于酒精和药物使用频率的一页36项问卷。
调查显示，与其他医生的药物使用情况相比，外科住院医师的药物使用相对较少。然而，酒精滥用仍然是一个问题，并且酒精是大多数住院医师的首选药物。外科住院医师使用的可卡因通常来自医院渠道。
尽管调查结果令人乐观，但作者主张如下：实施教育计划以预防酒精和药物的潜在滥用，并对可卡因建立更严格的管控措施，或使用可卡因替代品用于患者护理。
