Priority 5 from the Alcohol-related Liver Disease PSP
| UNCERTAINTY: Do attitudes to perceived 'self-induced illness' amongst healthcare professionals affect treatment, care provision and compassion for individuals with alcohol-related liver disease? (JLA PSP Priority 5) | |
|---|---|
| Overall ranking | 5 |
| JLA question ID | 0044/5 |
| Explanatory note (including examples of original survey submissions) | This question reflects concerns among both patients "Is ARLD put as a lower priority because it is deemed self inflicted?" and professionals "I have perceived at different times a lack of interest in actively managing the care of patients with alcohol related liver disease because they have it in their power to make the single biggest difference to their health." It is not just an issue of doctor-patient relations, but can have an impact on outcome. "Why do Dr.s just assume that (alcohol) is the only issue ?" "How does a diagnosis of ARLD and identification with the construction of an alcoholic affect care and treatment outcomes? " |
