Alcohol Related Harm: Knowledge Assessment of Medical and Nursing Staff in a General Hospital.

CONCLUSIONS: Assessment of knowledge regarding ARH among MNS in a general hospital with a standardized instrument demonstrated no significant difference in knowledge of ARH among nursing staff, interns, residents and consultants apart from knowledge about alcohol withdrawal. However, the overall score of the physicians as a whole was significantly higher than the nursing group. These findings suggest a need to implement educational interventions in MNS to increase knowledge of ARH so as to promote the provision of brief interventions for patients with ARH.
