Abstract

Purpose: As the number of older adults increases, the volume of alcohol-related problems among the older adult population also rises. The purpose of the current scoping review was to summarize and disseminate research findings related to screening for alcohol use disorder (AUD) in older adults (aged ≥60 years) and determine if research gaps exist in the current literature.

Method: The concepts of older adults, screening tools, AUD, and instrument evaluation were searched in Medline, APA PsycINFO, and CINAHL. After eligibility criteria were established, screening was completed using Covidence software. Data extracted from each study included the instrument used, method of evaluation, and findings.

Results: Seven studies remained after screening. None of the studies took place in the United States. The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test and related variations were used most often and were found to be adequate for detecting at-risk drinking among older adults. In addition, some studies suggested lower screening limits for older adults.

Conclusion: As the percentage of older adults engaging in risky or hazardous drinking patterns grows, there is an increased need for AUD screening using a reliable tool. Current research is limited; more research is needed regarding which tools perform best in various settings, as well as how to interpret instrument results for older adults.

老年人酒精使用障碍筛查工具：范围审查。

目的：随着老年人数量的增加，老年人群中与酒精相关的问题数量也在增加。本次范围综述旨在总结和传播与老年人（年龄≥60 岁）酒精使用障碍（AUD）筛查相关的研究成果，并确定当前文献中是否存在研究空白：方法：在 Medline、APA PsycINFO 和 CINAHL 中搜索老年人、筛查工具、AUD 和工具评估等概念。确定资格标准后，使用 Covidence 软件完成筛选。从每项研究中提取的数据包括所使用的工具、评估方法和结果：结果：经过筛选，共剩下 7 项研究。这些研究均不在美国进行。酒精使用障碍鉴定测试和相关变体被使用得最频繁，并被认为足以检测出老年人的高危饮酒。此外，一些研究还建议降低老年人的筛查限值：结论：随着老年人参与危险或有害饮酒模式的比例增加，越来越需要使用可靠的工具进行 AUD 筛查。目前的研究还很有限；关于哪种工具在不同环境中表现最佳，以及如何为老年人解释工具结果，还需要更多的研究。[老年护理学杂志，xx（xx），xx-xx]。
