A study found 21.5% of nursing students screened positive for probable alcoholism using the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST). This highlights the need for ongoing self-assessment and monitoring for nursing students and future practitioners.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Addiction Research
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Problem drinking is a concern among college students.
  • Nursing students may face unique stressors contributing to alcohol use.
  • Early identification of at-risk individuals is crucial for intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the prevalence of probable alcoholism among nursing students.
  • To evaluate the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST) reliability in this population.
  • To inform nurse educators about student needs regarding alcohol use.

Main Methods:

  • Surveyed 315 nursing students from 1988-1992 cohorts.
  • Administered the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST).
  • Calculated the reliability coefficient of the MAST for the sample.

Main Results:

  • The MAST demonstrated good reliability (r=.78) in this nursing student sample.
  • 21.5% of nursing students scored positive for probable alcoholism.
  • Drinking problem rates were comparable to general college student populations.

Conclusions:

  • Nursing students exhibit problem drinking rates similar to peers.
  • Nurse educators should promote self-assessment and monitoring for alcohol-related issues.
  • Further research should explore determinants and interventions for problem drinking in nursing students.
