“…As atitudes positivas da equipe multiprofissional dos Centros de Atenção Psicossocial em Álcool e Drogas em relação ao álcool, ao alcoolismo e ao alcoolista, quando positivas, parecem determinar a prestação de cuidados adequados, influenciando a promoção da saúde e a adesão ao tratamento desses usuários (14) , como foi observado neste estudo. Em estudo realizado em Centros de Atenção Psicossocial no Estado de Goiás, identificou-se que a satisfação global foi considerada boa, porém, observou-se unanimidade nos anseios dos profissionais por melhorias nas condições estruturais das unidades e também por política de melhoria salarial (15) .…”

“…Por outro lado, os profissionais ainda relatam dificuldades em compreender que o consumo dependente de álcool é um problema de saúde que pode ser tratado de formas variadas, o que resulta em abordagens geralmente de cunho coercitivo e punitivo (9,16) . Também rejeitam considerar o consumo de álcool moderado como parte do tratamento (14) , desconsiderando os preceitos da redução de danos, integrante da Política de Saúde Mental brasileira.…”

“…However, using quantitative methods to survey empirically the attitudes and behaviors of certain health and human service professional groups is less likely to require a representative sample, and so it is necessary to use non-probabilistic sampling procedures such as quota, purposive or snowballing sampling designs. Molina-Mula et al [43] analyzed the attitudes and perceptions of emergency and mental health nurses with regard to alcoholics. Their findings will hopefully help to develop appropriate professional and clinical responses to substance abuse.…”

Substance abuse has been a thorny public health concern throughout human history. Manifestly, prevention and treatment are the two main strategies commonly adopted to tackle the problem of substance abuse. They are in fact cross-disciplinary, and they relate to the various domains of heredity, biology, psychology, cognitive science, family, social development and cultural structures. This special issue, “Substance Abuse, Environment and Public Health,” has published empirical studies from different regions and countries globally to enhance the international exchange of latest views and findings on the etiology, processes and influences of substance abuse across different domains, through which a multilevel perspective is considered more helpful for analyzing its complex nature, courses and consequences. This in turn suggests the possible need to employ multiple responses dynamically and integratively in the prevention and treatment of substance abuse.

“…Nurses play an important role in hospital wards providing such treatment. Their tasks and the work they perform in caring for patients, strengthening the effectiveness of actions taken by other members of the therapeutic team, increase the chances of people undergoing therapy to improve their health and return to sobriety [30][31][32]. The nurse is the first person in alcohol therapy units that the patient comes into contact with during admission.…”

Introduction. Alcoholism is a phenomenon with multi-factorial conditions and numerous health and social consequences, which makes its treatment a real challenge not only for the addict himself and his relatives, but also for the entire medical team involved in the therapy process. For this reason, in order to strengthen the therapeutic effects of alcoholic disease, it is important to conduct research aimed at determining the factors that shape the effectiveness of the implemented methods. With this in mind, it has been assumed that the aim of the research is to determine the relationship between the therapeutic methods used in the Clinical Alcohol Dependency Therapy Unit (COTUA), taking into account the tasks of a nurse, and the assessment of their effectiveness in the perception of patients after craniocerebral trauma with a diagnosis of alcohol disease. Material and Methods. 100 COTUA patients were tested, in which the diagnostic survey method was used and a questionnaire was chosen as a technique. Results. The conducted analyses showed that, in the opinion of the respondents, the leading tasks of the nurses at COTUA include informing patients about the principles and methods of therapy, familiarizing them with the topography of the ward, the Charter of Patient’s Rights, the regulations of the ward, the schedule of the day and its specifics, administering medicines, providing a sense of safety, providing psychological support, transferring knowledge and learning how to live with the disease and cooperating with the therapeutic team. In addition, three quarters of the respondents indicated that the nurses working in the ward are willing to talk to patients about alcohol dependence, and a comparable percentage of the respondents assessed the effectiveness of the therapeutic methods used by the therapeutic team in relation to their own alcohol dependence problem very well and well. Conclusions. Patients’ assessment of the effectiveness of the therapeutic methods used depends on the nurses’ tasks of conducting therapeutic conversations with patients, providing them with knowledge, learning how to live with the disease, cooperating with the therapeutic team and the nurses’ readiness to talk to patients about alcohol dependence.
