Risk for the development of alcoholism in future health professionals

Alkohol je poznat ljudima od najranijih dana stoga je i vrlo rašireno mišljenje kako je njegova svakodnevna konzumacija normalna i ne pretjerano škodljiva. U Hrvatskoj i njezinom podneblju alkoholizam i ovisnost je česta pojava, ali isto tako kada se neku osobu prozove alkoholičarem, tada je ona već duboko zaglibila u ovisnost. Alkohol je prisutan u svim fazama našega života i u svakodnevnim aktivnostima. Prag prvog susreta s alkoholom sve je manji, adolescenti redovito konzumiraju alkohol jer je jeftin i lako dostupan, ali i odobren od većine društva iako je i on opojna supstanca. Ovo istraživanje provedeno je u svrhu izrade završnog rada s ciljem saznanja o riziku za razvoj alkoholizma kod budućih zdravstvenih djelatnika. Anketa je provedena na učenicima medicinskog učilišta Srednje škole Bedekovčine u školskoj godini 2019./2020. Ukupni broj sudionika iznosi 119. Obradom podataka dobiveni su rezultati koji upućuju na to da su budući zdravstveni djelatnici također podložni razvoju ovisnosti o alkoholu. Podaci su obrađeni s obzirom na dob, spol i obrazovanje sudionika te su u istraživanju korišteni AUDIT i MAST testovi samoprocjene. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da budući zdravstveni djelatnici redovno konzumiraju alkohol, da pojedinci žive u okolini koja potiče razvoj ovisnosti o alkoholu te da njihovo obrazovanje nema znatni utjecaj na smanjivanje rizika za razvoj ovisnosti.Alcohol is known to people since the earliest days, so it is also widely believed that its daily consumption in normal and not excessively harmful.
