“…On the contrary, alcohol consumption is a behavior that is carried out first which eventually leads to CMD symptoms as a result or consequence, which is also proven from a longitudinal study in America 26 . Although our study contradicts the results in Brazil 27 , during the COVID-19 pandemic it is increasingly showing that someone who is under stress will increase their lifestyle in alcohol consumption 28,29 .…”

Excessive alcohol consumption increases the risk of non-communicable diseases. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for alcohol consumption in Indonesia and present a cluster mapping based on the risk factors. The sample of this study was individuals aged 15 years and over who participated in the Indonesia Basic Health Survey 2018, while pregnancy was the exclusion criterion. The sample size for univariate was 542,682 individuals and 539,905 individuals in the multivariate analysis conducted using logistic regression. The prevalence of alcohol consumption was 3.7 percent. The risk factors for drinking alcohol included work as a farmer/fisherman/laborer or other manual occupations (aOR = 1.10; 95% CI 1.04-1.17), smoking (aOR = 4.93; 95% CI 4.62- 5.25), experiencing common-mental disorders (CMD) (aOR = 2.13; 95% CI 1.99-2.28), centrally obese (aOR = 1.21; 95% CI 1.13-1.3) and being overweight/obese (aOR = 1.07; 95% CI 1.01-1.13). On the other hand, the factors that showed a reduced risk of alcohol consumption were being the head of household (aOR = 0.79; 95% CI 0.74-0.85), low education level (aOR = 0.75; 95% CI 0.68-0.83), not working (aOR = 0.74; 95% CI 0.68-0.80), low socioeconomic status (aOR = 0.82; 95% CI 0.75-0.90), and being married (aOR = 0.56; 95% 0.52-0.61) or divorced (aOR = 0.60; 95% CI 0.53-0.67). Type of work as manual workers, smoking, experiencing CMD, being obese centrally, and overweight or generally obese are the main risk factors for alcohol consumption. Specific interventions are needed based on the risk factor cluster of alcohol drinkers

“…Cigarette use was significantly associated with reported alcohol misuse (OR = 4.626; 95%CI =1.277-16.754) and alcohol use (OR = 3.847; 95%CI =1.160-12.758). Our finding about the association between alcohol use/ misuse and cigarette use among clinical therapists is consistent with findings from several other studies conducted in China (33,34) and other countries (29,(35)(36)(37). The combined use of alcohol and tobacco have a multiplicative effect on the risk of health problems (38-40).…”

“…In the multivariate analysis, male clinical therapists were more likely to be alcohol users (OR = 4.392; 95% CI =2.443-7.894) and misusers (OR = 3.367; 95% CI =1.174-9.655) than female therapists. Consistent with previous studies (29)(30)(31)(32), male gender was a significant risk factor for alcohol use and alcohol misuse. A recent study of mental health professionals in 41 hospitals in China (3,479 males and 10,501 females) also found significant differences between male and female medical workers in alcohol misuse with nearly two-thirds (63.3%) of alcohol misusers being male (21).…”

ObjectivesThis study aimed to assess the extent of alcohol use and misuse among clinical therapists working in psychiatric hospitals in China during the early COVID-19 Pandemic, and to identify associated factors.MethodsAn anonymous nationwide survey was conducted in 41 tertiary psychiatric hospitals. We collected demographic data as well as alcohol use using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption (AUDIT-C) and burnout using the Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey.ResultsIn total, 396 clinical therapists completed the survey, representing 89.0% of all potential participants we targeted. The mean age of participants was 33.8 years old, and more than three-quarters (77.5%) were female. Nearly two-fifths (39.1%) self-reported as current alcohol users. The overall prevalence of alcohol misuse was 6.6%. Nearly one-fifth (19.9%) reported symptoms of burnout with high emotional exhaustion in 46 (11.6%), and high depersonalization in 61 (15.4%). Multiple logistic regression showed alcohol use was associated with male gender (OR = 4.392; 95% CI =2.443–7.894), single marital status (OR = 1.652; 95% CI =0.970–2.814), smoking habit (OR = 3.847; 95%CI =1.160–12.758) and regular exercise (OR = 2.719; 95%CI =1.490–4.963). Alcohol misuse was associated with male gender (OR = 3.367; 95% CI =1.174–9.655), a lower education level (OR = 3.788; 95%CI =1.009–14.224), smoking habit (OR = 4.626; 95%CI =1.277–16.754) and high burnout (depersonalization, OR = 4.848; 95%CI =1.433–16.406).ConclusionDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, clinical therapists’ alcohol consumption did not increase significantly. Male gender, cigarette smoking, and burnout are associated with an increased risk of alcohol misuse among clinical therapists. Targeted intervention is needed when developing strategies to reduce alcohol misuse and improve clinical therapists’ wellness and mental health.
