Abstract

Background: Since 2012, work-hour alcohol use (WHAU) has been prohibited in China. However, there is a lack of national data on WHAU among healthcare workers, including psychiatrists.

Methods: We collected data from psychiatrists in 41 tertiary psychiatric hospitals using an online questionnaire, which included demographics, work-related factors, WHAU, and the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test-Consumption (AUDIT-C).

Results: Out of 2911 psychiatrists who completed the survey, 4.29% reported having heard (3.13%) or witnessed (1.17%) WHAU among colleagues, and .51% (95% CI: .26%-.78%) admitted to their own WHAU. Most participants (95.57%) reported awareness of the policy against WHAU. Poisson regression demonstrated the unawareness of WHAU policy (incidence-rate ratios [IRR] 11.08; 95% CI: 3.56-34.52; P < .001), lower income (IRR .87; 95% CI: .79-0.96; P = .008), and higher AUDIT-C scores (IRR 1.48; 95% CI: 1.22-1.80; P < .001) were significantly associated with WHAU occurrences.

Conclusions: The survey indicates that WHAU among psychiatrists is more prevalent than expected, correlating with insufficient awareness of hospital policies. This suggests a need for targeted educational interventions.

中国精神科医生工作时间饮酒的流行率及相关因素。

背景：自2012年起，中国开始禁止工作时间饮酒（WHAU）。然而，关于包括精神科医生在内的医护人员在工作时间饮酒的全国性数据却很缺乏：我们通过在线问卷调查收集了 41 家三级精神病医院精神科医生的数据，其中包括人口统计学、工作相关因素、WHAU 和酒精使用障碍识别测试--消耗量（AUDIT-C）：在完成调查的 2911 名精神科医生中，4.29% 的人称曾听说（3.13%）或目睹（1.17%）同事有酗酒行为，0.51% 的人承认自己有酗酒行为（95% CI：0.26%-.78%）。大多数参与者（95.57%）表示了解禁止 WHAU 的政策。泊松回归（Poisson regression）显示了人们对 WHAU 政策的不了解程度（发生率比 [IRR] 11.08; 95% CI: 3.56-34.52; P 结论）：调查显示，精神科医生的 WHAU 发生率高于预期，这与对医院政策的认识不足有关。这表明有必要采取有针对性的教育干预措施。

期刊介绍： About the Journal Alcohol and Alcoholism publishes papers on the biomedical, psychological, and sociological aspects of alcoholism and alcohol research, provided that they make a new and significant contribution to knowledge in the field. Papers include new results obtained experimentally, descriptions of new experimental (including clinical) methods of importance to the field of alcohol research and treatment, or new interpretations of existing results. Theoretical contributions are considered equally with papers dealing with experimental work provided that such theoretical contributions are not of a largely speculative or philosophical nature.
