CAIXETA, Lucélia Marques Martins; PEDROSA, Leila Aparecida Kauchakje  and  HAAS, Vanderlei José. Analysis of attitudes of Primary Health Care professionals regarding people with disorders due to alcohol use. SMAD, Rev. Eletrônica Saúde Mental Álcool Drog. (Ed. port.) [online]. 2016, vol.12, n.2, pp. 84-91. ISSN 1806-6976.  http://dx.doi.org/10.11606/issn.1806-6976.v12i2p84-91.

This study aimed to analyze the attitudes of Primary Health Care professionals regarding people with disorders due to alcohol use, conducted with 489 professionals working in a municipality of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Two self applicable instruments were used: questionnaire with socio-demographic information and Scale of Attitudes toward Alcohol, Alcoholism and Alcoholics (EAFAAA, in Portuguese). Collected data was analyzed using the SPSS software version 20.0. The results showed that the participants’ attitudes were positive on all items of the scale (= 3.31; average = 3.33). The investigation of the attitudes showed a notion of view of professionals due to feelings, opinions and perceptions in relation to people with disorders due to alcohol use. Therefore, carrying out further studies to assist in strengthening these attitudes is necessary, in order to improve the assistance plan released to these individuals.
