- Cultural adaptation and validation of the attitudes towards alcohol scale for health professionals in PortugalPublication . Seabra, Paulo; Robalo Nunes, Inês; Henriques Silva, Vanessa Alexandra; Valentim, Olga; Guedes De Pinho, Lara; Moutinho, Lidia; VARGAS, D; Curado, Maria Alice dos SantosWe aimed to conduct an adaptation and validation of the Attitudes towards Alcohol, Alcoholism and Individuals with Alcohol Use Disorders Scale (EAFAA) which set to address the main groups of attitudes. It is composed in its original version by 50 items, divided into 4 factors: (1) work and interpersonal relationships with patients with alcohol consumption disorders; (2) the person with alcohol consumption disorders; (3) alcoholism (aetiology) and (4) alcoholic beverages and their use. The cultural adaptation from Brazilian to European Portuguese changes 22 items and the designation of one factor. The content validity index scale was 0.96. The psychometric properties were analysed through a cross-sectional study, with a convenience sample of 500 health professionals and students. The confirmatory factor analysis model with the same four (4) original factors, led to the elimination of 9 items. The scale revealed Cronbach’s alpha of 0.801. Empirical adjustment indices were satisfactory with Minimum Discrepancy Function by Degrees of Freedom divided (CMIN) ( X2/gl) = 3.91; p < 0001, RMSEA = 0.076 and the goodness of fit index (GFI) with 0.8. Relative indices values were normal fit index (NFI) = 0.6, comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.7 and Tucker-Lewis index
- Attitudes of Health Professionals Toward Alcohol and People with Alcohol Use Disorders. A Cross-Sectional StudyPublication . Seabra, Paulo; Silva, Vanessa; Nunes, Inês; Valentim, Olga; Moutinho, Lidia; Pinho, Lara; Curado, Alice; Vargas, DivaneEurope is the region of the world with the highest consumption of alcoholic beverages and this study aims to analyze the attitudes of Portuguese health professionals toward alcohol, its consumption, as well as their interpersonal relationships with people with problematic use of alcohol. An observational study with a quantitative approach was accomplished with a non-randomized sample of 471 health professionals. The Scale of Attitudes toward Alcohol, Alcohol-Related Problems and People with alcohol use disorders – Portuguese version (EAFAA-PT) was used for data collection. It was found that 68.58% of participants have positive attitudes and 31.42% have negative ones. Women and older individuals tend to have more negative attitudes toward people with problematic alcohol use. Having frequent professional experience with people with alcohol use problems, having an academic background and receiving in-service training on the topic are predictors of positive attitudes. Being a nurse is a predictor of negative attitudes. This study suggests that the combination of academic training, continuous in-service training, and recognition of the problem in everyday practice contributes to more positive attitudes toward problematic alcohol use and associated problems. This should be promoted given its impact on the quality of care and outcomes for individuals.
