Abstract
- After a short review of the literature about addiction in the working place, a study is presented that evaluates the alcohol use of all employees (n=301) in a clinic. The readiness to cooperate was very strong (72%). The openness (investigated with the FPI subscale for openness) was also satisfactory. Results showed a surprisingly high proportion of notable alcohol use by employees (26%). Especially the group of young female employees showed a high range of stress indicators: alcohol use (28.6%), nicotine (24.2%) and eating disorders (22.9%), and moderate-to-strong consumption of medication (12.1%). A sex-specific model of the development of addiction will be suggested based on these study results. A program of preventive measures was implemented integrating well-known components of established successful preventive measures and considering the special environment of the clinic.
