Methods: The employees of geriatric nursing homes and geriatric hospital wards in Iceland with 10 patients or more were invited to participate in this cross-sectional study. The response rate was 80% (n=1515), with 96% being women (n=1432). Men were consequently omitted from the study. Questions were included on demographics, psychosocial factors, workplace environment, health behavior, and medical history. PAA was defined as (a) having been given such a diagnosis by a physician, (b) having missed work because of drinking, or (c) if alcohol use was considered a problem by the employee herself, her family, friends, or the employer. Results: A total of 4.8% of the employees fulfilled the criteria for PAA. These women were younger (41 vs. 45 years of age), more often single (25% vs. 15%) or divorced (13% vs. 9%), and less satisfied with work than the other women. Odds ratios for asthma, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, pain syndromes, mental disorders, and work-related accidents were elevated. Despite this, no differences were found concerning amount of sick leave. Their psychosocial work environment was worse but the physical work environment was the same. Conclusion: Women with probable alcohol abuse working in nursing homes have significant medical problems and psychosocial morbidity that is not reflected in more sick leave. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/14034948040320011201","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,1]],"date-time":"2008-04-01T18:08:21Z","timestamp":1207073301000},"page":"47-52","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Correlates of probable alcohol abuse among women working in nursing homes"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Kristinn","family":"T\u00f3masson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Research and Preventive Medicine, Administration for Occupational Safety & Health, Reykjav\u00edk, Iceland,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"H\u00f3lmfr\u00edour K.","family":"Gunnarsd\u00f3ttir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Research and Preventive Medicine, Administration for Occupational Safety & Health, Reykjav\u00edk, Iceland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guobj\u00f6rg L.","family":"Rafnsd\u00f3ttir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Research and Preventive Medicine, Administration for Occupational Safety & Health, Reykjav\u00edk, Iceland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Berglind","family":"Helgad\u00f3ttir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Research and Preventive Medicine, Administration for Occupational Safety & Health, Reykjav\u00edk, Iceland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,1,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"20","key":"atypb1","first-page":"4","volume":"62","author":"Volpicelli JR","year":"2001","journal-title":"J Clin Psychiatry"},{"key":"atypb2","first-page":"129","volume":"74","author":"Helgason T.","year":"1988","journal-title":"L\u00e6knabla\u00f0i\u00f0 (Icelandic Medical Journal)"},{"key":"atypb3","first-page":"290","volume":"99","author":"Helgason T.","year":"1984","journal-title":"Nordisk Medicine (Nordic Medicine"},{"key":"atypb4","first-page":"193","volume":"80","author":"G\u00edslason T.","year":"1994","journal-title":"L\u00e6knabla\u00f0i\u00f0 (Icelandic Medical Journal)"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"119","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00796491","volume":"29","author":"Stef\u00e1nsson JG","year":"1994","journal-title":"Soc Psychiatry Psychiatr Epidemiol"},{"key":"atypb6","first-page":"263","volume":"4","author":"Penniman LJ","year":"1989","journal-title":"J Occup Med"},{"key":"atypb7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1530-0277.1992.tb00670.x"},{"key":"atypb8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1530-0277.1992.tb01357.x"},{"key":"atypb9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00043764-198010000-00012"},{"key":"atypb10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5271\/sjweh.2292"},{"key":"atypb11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1530-0277.1992.tb01361.x"},{"key":"atypb12","first-page":"35","volume":"140","author":"Rush BR","year":"1989","journal-title":"CMAJ"},{"key":"atypb13","first-page":"321","volume":"247","author":"T\u00f3masson K.","year":"1997","journal-title":"Eur Arch Psych Neurol Sci"},{"key":"atypb14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1530-0277.2001.tb02165.x"},{"key":"atypb15","first-page":"1697","volume":"110","author":"Aasland OG","year":"1990","journal-title":"Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen"},{"key":"atypb16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1360-0443.2002.00018.x"},{"volume-title":"Fj\u00f6ldi starfandi eftir \u00e1rsfj\u00f3r\u00f0ungum 1998\u20142001 (Number employed each quarter from 1998\u20142000)","year":"2002","author":"Hagstofan (Statistics Iceland).","key":"atypb17"},{"key":"atypb18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0003-6870(87)90010-X"},{"volume-title":"General Nordic Questionnaire for Psycholoical and Social Factors at Work","year":"2000","author":"Lindstr\u00f6m K.","key":"atypb19"},{"volume-title":"SPSS Base 7.5 for Windows.
