다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to examine the clinical effectiveness of an inpatient alcohol treatment program by researching changes in patients’ insight throughout the treatment process and patients’ level of satisfaction within the program. 89 patients (81 male and 8 female patients) were chosen for this study, all of whom were diagnosed as alcohol-dependence according to the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria and participating the inpatient alcohol treatment program at the alcohol/drug abuse treatment center in Keyo hospital. The program’s effectiveness was evaluated by：1) assessing how Hanil Alcohol Insight Scale (hereinafter HAIS), National Alcoholism Scale Test (hereinaf- ter NAST), and the level of patients’ self-recognition changed after taking the course and 2) analyzing correlations between NAST and HAIS. The result showed significant difference in the patients’ average HAIS scores before and after the program： 6.4 at the time of admission, and 9.0 after the treatment process (p<0.001). We found that the patients’ NAST and HAIS scores are positively correlated. Also, patients’ satisfactory level with the treatment program’s general circumstance was higher than that with information service about the treatment process and rule application issues, and communication service like telephone use. In conclusion, our inpatient alcohol treatment program was found to be effective in terms of improving patients’ insight, and patients’ level of overall satisfaction with the treatment program was generally high. Further studies on correlations among other variables such as the independent program’s impact on each patient, level of the patient’s insight, and follow-up treatment results may be required.
