Responding to Patients Needs
Need for a patient centered service.
Need to bridge primary secondary care
boundaries.
Need for effective mechanisms of follow-up post
inpatient treatment.
Need to respond quickly and effectively to
complex needs.
Need to support & augment medical interventions.

Nurses best placed;
but they come in many guises

Develop a competency framework that is congruent with desired outcomes
Completion of training needs analysis based upon review of current knowledge base and clinical experience.
Development and provision of training for nurses. Identification of ongoing support mechanisms for
contemporaneous health care staff.

All that done;
how do we know if
nurses are effective?

Introduction
Growing burden from alcohol-related harm
A paucity of evidence for effectiveness of treatment
for alcohol dependent patients in acute settings
Need for investigation and robust testing of
treatment modalities
Need to provide clinical guidance

Alcohol: The burden in Liverpool, UK
Burden of alcohol to the UK NHS –
12% A&E attendances (Pirmohamed et al 2000)
26% Intensive care admissions (Owens et al 2001)
4th most common presenting problem in medical student case load

Alcohol: The burden in Liverpool, UK
Healthcare professionals and their attitudes –
Professional scepticism – nurses & doctors
Nurses are best placed to deliver interventions (Kaner 2004, Owens 2002)
Limited knowledge and confidence (Owens et al 2000)
Willingness to engage (Owens et al 2000, Brown et al 1997)
Nurse intervention models (RCP 2001)
Lack of structured response in acute hospitals (Owens et al 2005)

Statistical Results: Control versus intervention
Reduced alcohol consumption (p = 0.0001)
Reduced AUDIT score (p = 0.0001)
Reduced SADQ score (p = 0.0001)
Less A&E attendances (p = 0.023)
Lower length of hospital stay (p = 0.0001)

Conclusions
This research adds to the emergent evidence on
interventions for alcohol dependent patients in
acute hospital settings
BI may be an effective treatment for non treatment seeking
alcohol dependent individuals
BI are effective in reducing alcohol-related hospital
admissions, hospital length of stay
BI are effective in reducing alcohol consumption and
dependence
Nurses are ideally placed to deliver these interventions in
this setting
