BackgroundAlcohol misuse is a risk factor in suicide and parasuicide.AimsTo measure the prevalence of alcohol use disorders in a cohort of psychiatric admissions using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), and the relationship between the AUDIT score and suicidality.MethodConsecutive psychiatric admissions were interviewed with a lifestyle survey that included the AUDIT, and admission case notes were reviewed.ResultsOut of 200 subjects, 48.5% scored 8 or more (indicating hazardous or harmful alcohol use) and 22.5% scored 16 or more (indicating significant alcohol dependence) on the AUDIT. There were no significant gender differences. Alcohol misuse was strongly associated with suicidality.ConclusionsThe AUDIT questionnaire should be incorporated into psychiatric assessments when risk of self-harm is being evaluated. Further research is warranted to examine the impact of interventions for alcohol use disorders in psychiatric settings on self-harm and suicidal ideation.

Abstract Self-stigma may have an important impact on people living with alcohol use disorders, however, few studies have explored the relationship between rumination and depression on self-stigma for people with hazardous drinking. This study aimed to explore the relationship between rumination, self-stigma and depressive symptomatology for those with hazardous drinking levels and the relationship between these and alcohol use severity. Participants were recruited online between February and May of 2019 through paid advertising on a page created on Facebook by the researcher. Two hundred and one participants completed the online survey questionnaires, with 114 (56.7%) meeting the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) criteria with a score of 8 or above indicating hazardous drinking. Multiple regression analysis found that self-stigma was significant predictor of alcohol severity. Depression was not found to be a significant predictor of self-stigma; however, rumination was a significant predictor of self-stigma, explaining 36.7% of the variance. Although rumination was not a significant predictor of alcohol use severity in this study, it appeared to play an important part in the self-stigma for people engaged in hazardous drinking. More research is needed to determine the mediating factors in this relationship and the impact of these for people with hazardous drinking levels over time.

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund In der Literatur lassen sich Hinweise darauf finden, dass bei Medizinstudierenden häufig risikohafter Alkoholkonsum vorliegt. Ziel der Arbeit Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist, den Alkoholkonsum Medizinstudierender im Zeitverlauf zu untersuchen. Material und Methoden Von 2011 bis 2017 wurden Dresdner Medizinstudierende des zweiten Semesters mit dem „Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test“ (AUDIT) befragt. Mögliche beeinflussende Faktoren des Alkoholkonsums wie Alter, Geschlecht, psychische Belastung („Brief-Symptom Inventory-18“ [BSI-18]), Jahrgang und Abiturnote der Medizinstudierenden wurden in einer Regressionsanalyse geprüft. Ergebnisse Auffällige Scores im AUDIT wiesen 47 % der Studierenden auf. Die männlichen Studierenden zeigten verglichen mit ihren Kommilitoninnen signifikant höhere Scores (6,73 vs. 4,64; p < 0,001). Aus der Regressionsanalyse gingen das Geschlecht (p = 0,000) sowie die psychische Belastung (p = 0,041; Frauen: p = 0,000) als beeinflussende Faktoren des Alkoholkonsums hervor. Schlussfolgerung Die Medizinstudierenden des zweiten Semesters zeigen häufig problematischen Alkoholkonsum, wobei dies v. a. für die männlichen Studierenden gilt. Der Alkoholkonsum von Medizinstudierenden scheint sich von 2011 bis 2017 nicht zu verändern. Die psychische Belastung stand überwiegend bei den weiblichen Medizinstudierenden mit dem Alkoholkonsum in Zusammenhang.
