OBJECTIVES: (1) Examine physician and nursing staff compliance with conducting an alcohol screening interview; (2) Compare compliance with the interview with usual physician and nurse assessment of drinking; (3) Examine reasons why drinking information might not be collected.
DESIGN: Residents and nurses were taught how to use an alcohol screening interview and were told by the director of residency training or by the Vice-President for Nursing to administer it to all admitted patients. Data on interviewed patients were compared with medical record data on a randomly selected series of 80 patients who were not interviewed.
SETTING: Teaching hospital in an urban/suburban community.
PATIENTS/PARTICIPANTS: Residents on internal medicine and family practice services; surgical nurses.
MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Compliance with conducting the interview was low (14.7% of residents' admissions; 13.53% of nurses' admissions). Review of the medical records indicated that some alcohol-related information was recorded in most patients' medical records (physicians recorded information on 94% of patients on the teaching services, nurses on the surgical unit recorded alcohol-related information on 71% of patients). Surgeons and surgical residents recorded alcohol-related information on 30% of their patients. Residents were more likely to interview male than female patients, and residents and nurses tended to interview patients with higher GGTP values.
CONCLUSIONS: (1) Compliance with administering a standardized alcohol screening interview was low. (2) Nurses, and residents in family practice and internal medicine made some assessment of drinking for most patients. Surgeons assessed drinking in a minority of patients. (3) Expressed reasons for not administering the standardized interview included discomfort with the interview, viewing the interview as too time-consuming, or not part of the usual responsibilities of the nurses or residents. Other possible reasons for the low levels of compliance are discussed.
