ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this study was to investigate alcohol drinking related health characteristics for improvement of life stability and well-being in war veterans.METHODS:
The research design was a descriptive survey design with a convenience sample. Data collection was performed using self-report questionnaires and included 163 veterans who were >60 years old and who visited a cardiovascular medicine out-patient department. The process of a change in drinking consciousness was investigated together with healthy action changes, including drinking temptation and deciding to drink alcohol.RESULTS:
Failing at work was the greatest drinking temptation. The subjects knew that if they drank continuously, they would become addicted to alcohol. Most subjects experienced mental stress and difficulty living.CONCLUSION:
These findings indicate that access to an evidence-based treatment program and systems of care should be provided for veterans who drink alcohol and have other health conditions and illnesses.
