    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Clinical Psychology
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Caffeine is a widely consumed psychoactive substance.
    • Understanding its role in psychiatric settings is crucial for patient care.
    • High coffee consumption patterns among inpatients warrant investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify characteristics of psychiatric inpatients who are high coffee users.
    • To examine the relationship between high coffee consumption and anxiety levels.
    • To explore potential factors influencing caffeine intake in this population.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 135 acute psychiatric ward patients was assessed.
    • Patients were categorized into 'high users' and other groups based on coffee consumption.
    • Demographic data, diagnoses, state-trait anxiety, and MMPI scores were collected and compared.

    Main Results:

    • 34 patients (25%) were identified as high coffee users.
    • High users were significantly older, single, and more likely to have psychosis diagnoses.
    • State anxiety was significantly higher in high coffee users; trait anxiety and MMPI scores showed no significant differences.

    Conclusions:

    • High coffee consumption in acute psychiatric inpatients is associated with specific demographic and diagnostic profiles.
    • Elevated state anxiety may be linked to high caffeine intake in this group.
    • Further research is needed to explore the influence of staff behavior and anticholinergic medications on patient caffeine use.
