영문 초록

Objectives：This study was performed to identify the characteristics of alcoholics by comparing the characteristics of male and female alcoholics with those of a control group and to make therapeutic consideration for female alcoholics by using the identified characteristics of female alcoholics. Subjects and Methods：1) Subjects：We made two experimental groups composed of male alcoholics (N＝34) and female alcoholics (N＝34) who had been admitted to Keyo Hospital from January 1992 to May 1996 and one control (normal female adult) group (N＝34) composed of students, the hospital personnel, and their family members. We controlled the age and the number to compare the groups. The average age of female alcoholics was 41.12±9.9, male alcoholics 41.23±10.22, and the control group 39.47±12.80. All male and female patients satisfied the DSM-Ⅲ-R criteria of alcohol dependence. 2) Method：We reviewed the patients’ charts and used a demographic statistical questionnaire and MMPI questionnaire. 3) Data analysis：Student’s t-test and chi-square test were used where appropriate. All statistical analyses were carried out with SPSSPC＋Version 4.0 software. A probability of p<0.05 (two-tailed) was accepted as statistically significant. Result：1) The demographical statistics showed that the education level, economic status, and occupational status of the male and female patient groups were significantly different from those of the female control group. 2) As regards the drinking history, the reason for alcohol drinking and use of other substances, there was no difference between the male and female patient groups. But the female patient group was significantly different from the female control group. 3) When the characteristics of the male and female patient groups were compared through mean MMPI T-scores, they were not significantly different from each other. But the female patient group was significantly different from the female control group. 4) The code type comparison showed that the female and male patient groups marked higher frequency of Pd scale score on one code digit than the female control group. Also the female patient group had higher frequency of characterological profile by Lachar classification on two code digit than the female control group. Conclusion：Therefore female alcoholics are different from normal female adults. They are more impulsive and antisocial. And they have marital problem, anxiety, insomnia, and affective problem.
