| Abstrakt: | Background: The general hospital can be regarded as a suitable place to provide secondary prevention for patients with alcohol misuse. It appears that screening and/or brief interventions on alcohol are acceptable for patients in hospital wards. The aim of this exploration study is to assess patients' expectations regarding the prevention of alcohol misuse carried out in general hospitals. Method: This study is based on the results of an online survey conducted in February 2023. The survey was in free access on the CHU UCL Namur hospital's website. Results: Only the alcohol consumption of 18.9% of our sample is usually assessed by hospital caregivers; however, we observe a high level of satisfaction with receiving information on the prevention of alcohol misuse. Among the proposed prevention interventions, screening feedback seems to be the most popular approach. Conclusion: This study confirms the recommendations on the role of the general hospital in the prevention of alcohol misuse. The big challenge remains to understand why the level of screening for alcohol misuse in general hospitals is so low. Future studies should assess the determinants of alcohol abuse screening behaviors among caregivers to understand why the screening rate is so low. |
