Resumen

Se analizan los resultados de una encuesta a médicos de atención primaria para conocer los factores que influyen en la detección y tratamiento de pacientes con problemas relacionados con el alcohol. Se comprueba que el número de pacientes diagnosticados está relacionado con la educación formal previa recibida sobre este tema. Los médicos están muy interesados en el problema y en sus soluciones, pero no están satisfechos ni se sienten gratificados con su trabajo. Los sentimientos gratificantes están directamente relacionados con la educación formal previa, y quienes se sienten gratificados diagnostican más pacientes. La necesidad de mejorar la formación de los médicos de atención primaria debe ir acompañada de sustanciales mejoras organizativas en la red de asistencia primaria, fundamentalmente en la coordinación de actividades entre los médicos de atención primaria, servicios especializados y servicios de asistencia social.

Summary

The results of a survey of primary health care physicians in order to know which factors are associated with the efficacy in the detection and treatment of patiens with alcohol-related problems are analyzed in this article. The number of diagnosed patients is related with previous formal education on alcohol-related problems of primary health care physicians. Primary health care physicians are very interested in this issue, but they don't feel satisfied nor gratified with their work with this type of patients. Gratifying feelings are directly related to previous formal education, and those who feel gratified diagnose more patients. Needs for formal education must be accompanied by profound organizational changes in the coordination of actions between primary health care, specialized services and social care.
