Abstract

Purpose: The current study investigated hazardous drinking and alcohol use disorders among 453 family caregivers of individuals living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD).

Method: We examined the prevalence of hazardous drinking and its relationship with emotion regulation and coping strategies (problem-solving, social support, and avoidance) using data from the first wave of a longitudinal study on daily ADRD caregiving experiences. A binary logistic regression model was performed to predict the relationship between potential risk factors and hazardous drinking.

Results: Findings revealed that 18.1% of ADRD caregivers screened positive for hazardous drinking based on the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption. Caregivers experiencing greater difficulties in emotion regulation and greater reliance on avoidance as a coping strategy were at higher risk of screening positive for hazardous drinking.

Conclusion: These findings stress the importance of targeted interventions to improve emotion regulation and reduce avoidance coping in ADRD caregivers, ultimately enhancing their well-being. [Research in Gerontological Nursing, 17(2), 81-90.].

阿尔茨海默病及相关痴呆症患者家庭照顾者的情绪调节、应对策略和危险饮酒。

目的：本研究调查了 453 名阿尔茨海默病及相关痴呆症（ADRD）患者家庭照顾者中的危险饮酒和酒精使用障碍：我们利用第一波 ADRD 日常护理经验纵向研究的数据，研究了危险饮酒的发生率及其与情绪调节和应对策略（解决问题、社会支持和回避）之间的关系。通过二元逻辑回归模型来预测潜在风险因素与危险饮酒之间的关系：研究结果显示，18.1%的ADRD照护者在酒精使用障碍识别测试--饮酒测试中对危险饮酒呈阳性筛查。在情绪调节方面有更大困难、更依赖于回避作为应对策略的照顾者，其危险饮酒阳性筛查的风险更高：这些发现强调了有针对性的干预措施的重要性，以改善 ADRD 护理者的情绪调节并减少回避应对，最终提高他们的幸福感。[老年护理研究》（Research in Gerontological Nursing），17（2），81-90。

期刊介绍： Research in Gerontological Nursing is a forum for disseminating peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, cutting-edge gerontological nursing research and theory to investigators, educators, academicians, clinicians, and policymakers involved with older adults in all health care settings. The Journal accepts manuscripts reporting research, theory, integrative and systematic reviews, instrument development, and research methods with the aims of improving the wellness and quality of care of the older adult population. Theory papers should advance gerontological knowledge, and integrative reviews should provide an analysis of the state of the science and provide direction for future research.
