Overall, survey results suggest that few radiologic technologists have a problem with the abuse of alcohol and drugs. However, the survey indicates that approximately 3% to 4% of radiologic technologists may suffer from some type of substance abuse problem, with alcohol abuse more common than drug abuse. These findings correlate with studies that reveal similar rates of substance abuse among physicians, nurses and pharmacists. Because the abuse of alcohol and drugs affects the quality of patient care, the authors recommend that professional organizations identify and assist radiologic technologists who suffer from substance abuse and that they promote greater awareness of the problem through education. The authors also recommend that an awareness of the effects of substance abuse be included in the professional curriculum. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
