Abstract
Twenty-five persons answered the first questionnaire and 18 the second. A self-administrated attitudes questionnaire showed its interest in our study and helped us to identify attitudes and to initiate a reflection on behaviours in emergency care. Moreover, it helped to change attitudes towards individuals presenting substance related disorders. The daily setting of an addictive disorders specialized unit in emergency changed the point of view on addictive disorders of both physicians and nurses. We showed differences in addictive related disorders prevalence perception among patients attending emergency care between the two evaluations. But we also showed that physicians and nurses stressed that it was more difficult to ask patients in emergency care on the second evaluation, after and despite a daily addictive disorders specialized setting. We showed several limits in emergency staff care relationship with patients with substance related disorders. They identified difficulties to talk about addictive disorders, especially in younger and older patients. Regarding literature, we discuss our study limits and different ways of improving addictology care in emergency services.
