为药物滥用治疗工作人员培训、招聘和留住最合格的专业人员是改善客户护理的关键基本战略。这项对美国太平洋西北地区药物滥用治疗机构主任和临床工作人员的调查于2000年进行,对围绕这些目标的问题提供了第一次经验性的估计,并指出如果要保持和改进一支高素质的劳动力队伍,就需要采取更积极的战略。调查结果表明,治疗机构工作人员平均每年有25%的流动率,其中绝大多数是自愿的,并留在治疗专业内。机构管理层和直接服务人员对其机构目前实行的征聘和留用办法的看法不同。(C)2003 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
The training, recruitment, and retention of the most qualified professionals for the substance abuse treatment workforce is a crucial underlying strategy in the improvement of client care. Conducted in the year 2000, this survey of substance abuse treatment agency directors and clinical staff in the Pacific Northwest of the United States provides the first empirical estimates of issues surrounding these goals and points to the need for more aggressive strategies if a quality workforce is to be maintained and improved. Results of the survey indicate that there is an average of 25% turnover per year among treatment agency staff, and that the vast majority of this turnover is voluntary and stays within the treatment profession. Agency management and direct service staff differ in their perceptions of the recruitment and retention approaches currently in place in their agencies. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
