Factors Associated with Successful Alcohol Abstinence in Alcohol Rehabilitation Clinic, Phayu Hospital : A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study
Main Article Content
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background: This study aimed to evaluate factors associated with successful alcohol abstinence in the Alcohol Abstinence Clinic, Phayu Hospital.
Design: Cross-sectional study
Methods: Data were collected from medical records of the Alcohol Abstinence Clinic, Phayu Hospital, between 1 March 2019 to 31 March 2021. Participants were categorized into two groups: those who were successful in alcohol abstinence and those who failed to achieve abstinence. The factors associated with successful alcohol abstinence were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.
Results: Out of 218 participants, 100 participants succeeded in alcohol abstinence, and 118 failed. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the associated factors were age (odds ratio (OR) 1.026, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) 1.005-1.047, p-value 0.014) marriage status (OR 2.067, 95%CI: 1.170-3.651, p-value 0.012) self-efficacy (OR 3.231, 95%CI: 1.028-10.156, p-value 0.045) greater than five Alcohol Abstinence clinic visits (OR 16.892, 95%CI: 7.881-36.206, p-value 0.000) drinking frequency less than four times a week (OR 2.941, 95%CI: 1.596-5.419, p-value 0.001) alcohol consumption less than five standard drinks a day (odds ratio 15.685, 95%CI: 7.021-35.042, p-value 0.000). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the associated factors were self-efficacy (adjusted OR 14.560, 95%CI: 1.871-113.294, p-value 0.011) the number of Alcohol Abstinence clinic visits five times or more (adjusted OR 13.482, 95%CI: 5.445-33.383, p-value 0.000) drinking frequency less than four times a week (adjusted OR 6.209, 95%CI: 2.309-16.696, p-value 0.000) alcohol consumption less than five standard drinks a day (adjusted OR 26.536, 95%CI: 8.294-84.904, p-value 0.000).
Conclusion: Age, married status, self-efficacy, the number of Alcohol Abstinence clinic visits five times or more, drinking frequency less than four times a week, and alcohol consumption of less than five standard drinks a day significantly resulted in an increased success rate of alcohol abstinence.
