Attitudes of Non-Psychiatric Healthcare Workers Toward Patients with Alcohol Use Disorder in a Tertiary Hospital
This study assessed attitudes of 128 doctors and 785 nurses toward patients with alcohol use disorder using the validated Alcohol & Alcohol-Problems Perceptions Questionnaire. While most healthcare workers recognized the importance of intervention, they reported low confidence in their own competence, available support, and motivation to treat these patients, indicating need for institutional training programs.
