Alcohol Related Harm: Knowledge Assessment of Medical and Nursing Staff in a General Hospital.
Background: The prevalence of alcohol related harm (ARH) in Israel has traditionally been low. The lack of familiarity with ARH may derive from the fact that in the past there was limited clinical exposure to these harms. However, ARH is becoming more common in Israel but it is unclear whether the medical and nursing workforce's knowledge is adequate to manage these problems. Our main objective was to assess knowledge regarding ARH among medical and nursing staff (MNS) in an Israeli university affiliated general hospital. We also aimed to compare knowledge of different MNS groups Methods: One hundred and twenty-seven MNS including consultants (senior physicians), residents, interns and nursing staff completed the Knowledge of Psychiatric Aspects of Alcohol Questionnaire (KPAAQ), a validated measure of knowledge concerning ARH comprised of five categories.
Results: There was no significant difference between the four MNS groups in overall mean KPAAQ scores that varied from 45% (nurses) to 54% (interns). However, direct comparisons indicate that physicians scored higher than nurses (p=0.02). overall. The mean score for the KPAAQ category "alcohol withdrawal syndrome" was below 40% for all MNS groups. Physicians scored significantly higher than nursing staff (p=0.005). All MNS mean scores were greater than 63% for the category "alcohol in pregnancy." This was the highest category score.
Conclusions: Assessment of knowledge regarding ARH among MNS in a general hospital with a standardized instrument demonstrated no significant difference in knowledge of ARH among nursing staff, interns, residents and consultants apart from knowledge about alcohol withdrawal. However, the overall score of the physicians as a whole was significantly higher than the nursing group. These findings suggest a need to implement educational interventions in MNS to increase knowledge of ARH so as to promote the provision of brief interventions for patients with ARH.
