RESUMO Objetivo: Conhecer as produções cientificas nacionais referentes a iniciação e abuso de drogas e substancias psicoativas na adolescência. Método: pesquisa narrativa com abordagem qualitativa, não foi utilizada delimitação temporal devido à escassez de referências sobre o tema proposto. Resultados: Percebeu-se com o estudo a delimitação de 2 (duas) categorias que permeiam a iniciação e abuso drogas, sendo indicadas significativamente nos estudos que norteiam o assunto. Conclusão: Com o estudo percebeu-se que a iniciação de jovens usuários de drogas é gradativa e delimitada por fatores intrínsecos do jovem, preocupando a sociedade como um todo. Para tanto, as políticas públicas não estão sendo suficientes para instrumentalizar os profissionais de saúde e os familiares de usuários de drogas, permanecendo uma lacuna na assistência em saúde, e como consequência, problemas sociais e familiares graves.

Introdução: A eritropoetina humana recombinante (rHuEPO) promove o aumento de glóbulos vermelhos no sangue, podendo potencializar o desempenho físico. No entanto, este hormônio pode desencadear outros efeitos que ainda são pouco discutidos na literatura. Objetivo: Verificar a influência do tratamento com rHuEPO sobre as concentrações de lactato e tempo de exaustão em 20 ratos treinados. Materiais e Métodos: Os animais foram divididos em grupo sedentário (S), grupo treinado (T) e grupo treinado + rHuEPO (T+rHuEPO). O período de administração e de treinamento foi de seis semanas. Resultados: Houve diferença significativa entre as concentrações de lactato do S vs T e T+rHuEPO (P

Resumo Introdução O uso de drogas entre adolescentes está aumentando, e o hábito vem se enraizando cada vez mais precocemente. Objetivo Investigar a associação do uso de drogas lícitas e ilícitas, sexo e condição socioeconômica entre adolescentes de 12 anos. Método Estudo transversal foi realizado em amostra representativa de adolescentes matriculados em escolas públicas e privadas da área urbana de Diamantina, Minas Gerais. Dados foram coletados por meio de questionários autoaplicados. O consumo de drogas foi investigado utilizando o instrumento ASSIST (Teste para Triagem do Envolvimento com Álcool, Cigarro e Outras Substâncias). Para investigar a condição socioeconômica, foram utilizados os indicadores: tipo de escola, renda familiar e escolaridade materna. As associações foram testadas pelos testes do Qui-quadrado de Pearson e Exato de Fisher (p < 0,05). Resultados A prevalência do consumo de álcool foi de 45,6% (260/588); uso de maconha, de 1,5% (9/588); de cocaína, 0,3% (2/588); e de inalantes, 1,7% (10/588). Sexo masculino esteve associado estatisticamente com consumo de maconha (p = 0,018) e de álcool (p = 0,012), mas não com uso de inalantes (p = 0,536). Na amostra estudada, não foi observada associação estatisticamente significativa entre o consumo de drogas ilícitas e os indicadores socioeconômicos. O consumo de álcool esteve associado ao uso de maconha p = 0,013 [OR:9,814 (1,220-78,984)]. Conclusão O consumo de álcool e o uso de maconha estiveram estatisticamente associados com o sexo masculino, mas não com os indicadores socioeconômicos.

Objetivo: Determinar factores de riesgo y protección asociados a la edad de inicio del consumo de mariguana y drogas ilícitas en jóvenes mexicanos. Método: Se analizaron datos de 40,366 jóvenes participantes de la Encuesta de Cohesión Social para la Prevención de la Violencia y la Delincuencia (ECOPRED). Las variables asociadas con la edad de inicio del consumo de mariguana y otras drogas ilícitas fueron determinadas mediante dos modelos de riesgos proporcionales. Resultados: La edad mediana de inicio en consumo de drogas ilícitas osciló entre los 15 y 18 años, mientras que en consumo de marihuana fue de 17 años. En ambos modelos, tener un par consumidor de marihuana fue el factor más fuertemente asociado al inicio de consumo. Discusión: La edad de inicio de consumo revelada en el presente estudio resultó similar a aquella propuesta en investigaciones previas. A pesar de las diferencias de factores en cada modelo, tener un par consumidor de marihuana y el consumo previo de tabaco (variable moderadora) resultaron los factores más fuertemente asociados en ambos modelos.

Este trabalho caracteriza a situação do uso do crack no Centro de Atenção Psicossocial de álcool e drogas (CAPSad) do Distrito Federal, assim como acesso, formas de uso, perfil sociodemográfico, socioeconômico e sociocultural sob perspectiva do próprio usuário. Foram entrevistados 100 indivíduos, cada participante submeteu-se a responder um questionário durante os meses de fevereiro a maio de 2011. O perfil predominante do usuário de crack foi homem, jovem, solteiro, médio nível de escolaridade e média classe socioeconômica dentre os que apresentam vínculo empregatício. O acesso a crack é simples e fácil, condicionado a estratégias de mercado (crack delivery). A forma de uso mais utilizada é lata de alumínio. Foram identificadas técnicas de consumo shotgun, mesclado (crack e maconha) entre os indivíduos estudados. No entanto, é necessária maior conscientização das autoridades públicas competentes na atualização de programas de intervenção e controle do crack no Distrito Federal.

O crescimento do uso de drogas ilícitas entre as mulheres em idade fértil é preocupante. O uso de drogas durante a gestação é causa de morbidades que podem se apresentar no feto, no neonato ou em qualquer etapa do desenvolvimento infantil. Esta revisão reuniu informações sobre prevalência, métodos de rastreio e consequências clínicas da exposição fetal à cocaína, metanfetamina, maconha e opioides. As taxas de exposição podem variar de 2 a 40% entre os estudos. Nos métodos de rastreio, a análise de cabelo materno se mostrou a mais sensível, a análise de mecônio é de mais fácil execução e os questionários aplicados às mães têm baixa sensibilidade. Várias consequências para a gestação e para a criança são relacionadas à exposição a drogas. Entre elas encontramos maior incidência de perdas gestacionais, prematuridade, baixo peso ao nascer, Apgar < 7 no quinto minuto, internações em UTI e óbito neonatal. Síndrome de abstinência neonatal, anomalias congênitas, déficit de atenção, problemas de comportamento, prejuízos no desenvolvimento motor, cognitivo e de linguagem são os acometimentos mais encontrados na infância. Concluímos serem necessárias políticas de prevenção, identificação das crianças expostas e seu acompanhamento durante toda a infância.

Objective: To analyze the correlation between self-esteem and risk for drug use among adolescents in 8th and 9th years of elementary school in the municipal network of city in the interior of Minas Gerais. Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive correlational study with a quantitative approach, with the participation of 347 students of both genders in the 8th and 9th years of the municipal education network in a city in the interior of Minas Gerais. For data collection, the Drug Use Screening Inventory) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were used. The dependent variables are all of the ordinal type, and correlation tests of the Nonparametric type are performed. Results: The majority of the participants were girls (62.82%), from the age group of 14 years (38.62%) and socioeconomic class B2 (39.49%). It was found that in absolute density all areas of the DUSI, except the substance use area, were directly influenced by the adolescents' negative self-esteem, with the greatest correlation with psychiatric disorders; in relative density, only the family system was related to negative self-esteem. Conclusion: the risk of problems related to substance use does not depend on a positive or negative self-esteem, but negative self-esteem can influence the development of psychiatric disorders and family relationships.

Background: Psychoactive substance use among adolescents can result in harm linked to sociocultural conditions. Objective: To understand adolescents' experiences of the sociocultural determinants of psychoactive substance use. Methodology: Mixed-methods study conducted with adolescents from Divinópolis, Minas Gerais. In the quantitative axis (n = 303), the modules on the use of alcohol and illicit drugs from the National School Health Survey were applied. The qualitative axis (n = 18) was predominant and followed the quantitative axis. A descriptive analysis of the associated factors was performed for the quantitative variables. In the qualitative axis, the participants' narratives were analyzed based on social determination. Results: Adolescents who drink alcohol intend to continue working and studying after finishing school and to have friends who also drink alcohol. As for gender, consumption among women is not socially accepted. Public policies and the media do not reach adolescents when it comes to psychoactive substances. Conclusion: Adolescents reproduced the discourse of their social group, demonstrating the ethical and moral precepts of their community. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is common to find marijuana users with alterations in motivation, in clinical practice. Several studies have found evidence about a possible amotivational syndrome in marijuana users, both from the analysis of behavior and from the neurological examination. However, the existence of such a syndrome associated with the use of marijuana has not been firmly established, among other reasons, due to the concurrence of factors such as depression and the use of other drugs that may lead to inadequate generalization of the situation of some consumers of the substance and due to methodological difficulties in research aimed at establishing whether or not there is a decrease in the general motivation associated with the use of marijuana. Likewise, the decrease in motivation could be the result of the disorder by substances rather than by the consumption of marijuana. Due to the growing use of marijuana in the world, the study of its consequences is of the greatest importance, for the design of better treatments for people with substance use disorders. The aim of this study was to obtain evidence about the existence or not of deficiencies in the motivation of marijuana users. In addition, we sought to establish which are the characteristic behaviors that show this possible reduction of motivation. A battery of questions was constructed from a systematic literature review in PubMed, Lilacs, MedLine, Cochrane library, Embase, Science Direct and Bibliomed, using as terms "amotivational syndrome", "amotivation cannabis", "amotivation marijuana", "comorbidity cannabis", "comorbidity marijuaba", "mental disorders and cannabis", "cannabis and mental consequences", "amotivation and drug use". Likewise, an expert consultation was done about behaviors that were indicative of a reduction in the motivation of marijuana users. From the review and consultation of experts, a set of 70 possible behaviors expressed in questions about probable deficiencies in motivation was extracted. These questions, along with other instruments selected to exclude from the analysis participants with depression, prefrontal symptoms, alcohol use disorders, apathy and affective flattening, which could confuse the results, were presented to a sample of 1455 participants. The Rasch model was applied to establish whether it was possible to identify a measurable and consistent dimension that corresponded to a deficiency in motivation, and to discern which behaviors would be most characteristic of a possible motivational deficiency in habitual marijuana users. In addition, an exploratory factor analysis was carried out to identify possible groupings of the characteristic symptoms of a reduction in motivation. Our Results and conclusions show that it was estimated that 54.9% of the participants would have a serious disorder due to the use of marijuana; 54.0% presented symptoms of affective flattening, and 60.9% would be marijuana users with high levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The average number of cigarettes consumed per month would be 44.5. Using the Rasch model it was established that, with the constructed set of questions, it was possible to identify a dimension or factor coinciding with a motivational deficiency. Using the exploratory factor analysis, it was found that the characteristic behaviors could be grouped into four possible subdimensions: emotional apathy; social withdrawal; neglect of personal image and motor slowdown.

Objective: to construct a specific situation theory that investigates the welfare of migrants. Method: methodological study, using the method of conceptual-theoretical-empirical subtraction proposed by Fawcett: 1) identification of concepts, 2) classification of concepts, 3) identification and classification of propositions, 4) hierarchical order of propositions and 5) construction of the diagram. The execution period was carried out from September 2019 to February 2020. Results: the Specific Situation Theory is the product of theoretical sub-structuring and allows to identify what members of a discipline consider to be true in relation to the phenomena of the study, in addition to allowing the development of preventive interventions aimed at well-being. Conclusion: the method was appropriate to construct this theory, since it offers a theoretical support that can have positive results for the benefit of the studied population. Furthermore, it allows the Nurse to identify the factors that are related and intervene to achieve well-being and adverse conditions of the migratory process, and to promote coping strategies for the migrant population.

Introduction: The evaluation of emotional intelligence (EI) is of particular interest for professionals in various fields of health and education. Objective: To identify the state of the art of research on EI skills and the possible relationships with drug use in adults. Methodology: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes (PRISMA) was used as a guide. First, the research question was defined to provide an answer for the objective; then, the selection criteria were established; and, finally, articles for the period 2007-2018 were found through a search in the Pub Med, Scopus, EBSCO, Web of Science, and OVID databases. Studies were then assessed and analyzed using EndNote and subsequently summarized to extract their corresponding theses. Results: A total 1,172 articles were identified across databases, out of which 15 studies were chosen and from these only 3 met the eligibility criteria and methodological quality. The sample shows that a lower EI leads to a more intense and frequent consumption of illegal substances, thus leading to greater difficulties in emotional management and regulation. Conclusions: Research on EI and addictions is relatively new, and more studies are needed to understand this relationship in greater detail. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The drug phenomenon is considered a serious public health consequence that affect the health of individuals. Studies report that the Behavioral Control is the concept that best predicts the behavior of drug use, defined as personal beliefs about the ability to control the difficulties existing facilities or to consume any drugs. The objective was to verify the relationship of behavioral control over drug use in adolescents studying in school, under the hypothesis: Adolescents who have consumed any drugs show significantly higher scores on behavioral control than those who have not consumed. A descriptive correlational study was conducted in 443 adolescents in the metropolitan area of Monterrey, NL. The Adolescent Survey instrument for Drug Control and Behavioral applied. The test of Mann-Whitney U (U=1482.0, p<.001) showed that adolescents who have used drugs will have significantly higher scores (M= 22.96, Mdn = 15.54) of low behavioral control that adolescents who have not used drugs (M= 2.47, Mdn = 1.00). Behavioral control explained its effect on drug use at some time in life (R² = 27%). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article describes an analysis of tuberculosis cases, mental disorders, and dependence on legal and illegal drugs in Goiás, from 2018 to 2022. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which may be related to mental disorders, alcohol use, tobacco, and illegal drugs. 6,115 cases of tuberculosis were reported in Goiás, with 153 of these cases presenting mental illness. Among the cases with mental illness, 50 were alcoholics, 69 were smokers, and 45 used illegal drugs. It is important to consider and report mental disorders and risky behaviors in patients with tuberculosis, as well as integrate mental health programs into the treatment of these patients. However, the lack of data on mental illnesses hinders the understanding of the epidemiological scenario of mental health in tuberculosis patients in Goiás. [Extracted from the article]

This study aimed to know the perceptions of women who used psychoactive substances during pregnancy regarding the care of the professional. The descriptive-exploratory method followed with a qualitative approach. Eleven women who used alcohol and / or other psychoactive substances during pregnancy participated in the study. Data collection was carried out between March and May 2017 through a semi-structured recorded interview. Content analysis was used, in light of the Peplau Theory. From the narratives, two categories emerged: discovery of the addict’s condition by the professional and positive and negative points in the consultations. The study participants demonstrated satisfaction with the prenatal consultations, but indicated as negative the delay in attendance, the difficult communication of doctors and disrespectful forms in the hospital care, through situations of violence. Therefore, it is important to review the assistance offered to pregnant women, especially as drug users, in order to mitigate unfavorable maternal-fetal prognoses and not to prejudice the construction and maintenance of interpersonal relationships between clients and professionals.

Introduction: The use of illegal psychoactive substances is an increasing issue in university students. Most studies have obtained a frequency of consumption of 30% in this population. Objective: To establish the frequency and factors associated with the use of these types of substances among the students of a university in Colombia. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. The population was a representative sample of 343 students. An anonymous survey about psychoactive substance consumption and associated factors was administered. Results: 31.5% of students referred consumption at some point in the past 12 months, being marihuana the most prevalent substance with a reported consumption of 64.8%. The mean age of first time consumption was 17.04±2.12, particularly marihuana with a frequency of 61.1%. All associated factors considered showed a significant relationship with consumption in the past 30 days, the past year, and sometime in life Likewise, family problems were the factor with the highest prevalence ratio (PR=15.467, consumption during the past year), followed by peer pressure (PR=7.847). Conclusions: The use of illegal psychoactive substances among university students seems to be considerable, suggesting interventions with emphasis on the most involved programs.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the school violence suffered and practiced and its association with the use of alcohol and other drugs in adolescents between 12 and 18 years old. Method: the study sample consisted of 643 adolescents enrolled in six schools, who answered two self-administered questionnaires: “Global School-based Student Health Survey” and “Violence in School”. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test and the degree of association between the variables was analyzed using the prevalence ratio. Results: the prevalence of school violence suffered and practiced was 62.2% and 51.9%, respectively. About 44.6% of the aggressors said they did not want to change their behavior. There was an expressive prevalence of alcohol use (16.5%), tobacco (15.7%) and illicit drugs (6.8%), and drunkenness (12.6%). There was a significant association between the violence suffered and the age group of 12 to 14 years old (p=0.001); (p=0.011) and education level in elementary school (p

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the specificities of care to the adolescent crack user assisted in the Network of Psychosocial Attention. Method: exploratory and descriptive study with qualitative approach. The participants were 20 professionals from the Center for Psychosocial Alcohol and Drug Attention and 10 professionals from the Center for Psychosocial Child and Adolescent Care. Data collection took place through semi-structured interviews and the data were processed by Nvivo 11 software and submitted to thematic analysis. Results: the care to the adolescent crack user assisted in the network involves care specificities in three scopes: adolescence as the life cycle stage, social aspects that involve the adolescent in the use situation, and differentiated care strategies to the adolescent using crack. Conclusion: the network services accessed by the adolescent crack user should be prepared to welcome him in their specificities, assessing the needs of care and promoting therapeutic workshops geared to the needs of this public in the specialized service. Implications for practice: the study may re-signify the care practices focused on the adolescent's needs. In addition, it is necessary to promote the strengthening of these services in the network with a view to subsidizing comprehensive and resolutive care.

Background: The increase in the use of psychoactive substances, alcohol and cigarettes in young people has become a public health problem. The identification of factors that increase or reduce the risk of exposure to these substances and the possible relationship between them is essential for planning strategies with a risk approach; hence the reason for this study. The objective was to establish the profile of use of psychoactive substances, alcohol and cigarettes and the factors associated with such use in nursing students of a higher education institution., Methods: Quantitative, observational, analytical cross-sectional study., Results: We included 310 students from 1 st to 9th semester of a Nursing programme from a private higher education institution in Bogotá. The prevalence of psychoactive substance use in the last year was 2.96% (95%CI, 1.36-5.54), with marijuana being the substance most used (55.55%). The prevalence of alcohol and cigarette use during the last 12 months was estimated at 86.64% (95%CI, 83.24-91.0) and 12.16% (95%CI, 8.43-15.88) respectively. A statistically significant association was found between the use of these substances: alcohol use was associated with cigarette use (OR = 3.22; P = 0.006) and smoking was associated with psychoactive substance use (OR = 15.4; P < 0.001)., Conclusions: Alcohol use increases the likelihood of smoking cigarettes, and this in turn increases the likelihood of psychoactive substance use, in this university population., (Copyright © 2024.

We conducted a nested case-control study within a cohort with the aim of studying the association between illicit drug use and congenital syphilis (CS). Cases were diagnosed based on treponemal and non-treponemal tests conducted both in the mother and the newborn (NB). Multivariate analysis with logistic regression was performed. A total of 6171 births with a mean gestational age of 37.8 weeks were recorded and 62 CS events were diagnosed (incidence 10.5 events/1000 NB). Associated maternal factors were illicit drug use (OR 14.08, 95% CI 1.19-166.6), <5 prenatal visits (OR 2.9, 95% CI 1.12-7.53), more than two sexual partners (OR 3.76, 95% CI 1.62-8.71) and professional education level (OR 0.06, 95% CI 0.005-0.85). Among the mothers of the cases presented, the prevalence of illicit drug use was 22.6% and the most frequent drugs were methamphetamines and cannabis., (Copyright © 2023 Asociación Argentina de Microbiología.

Objective. Monitor drug use through wastewater metabolite measurement. Materials and methods. Wastewater samples were obtained from 31 wastewater treatment plants and 95 sites with specific populations (38 schools, 42 units of addiction treatment and 15 penitentiaries). Using ultra high liquid chromatography, we measured nine metabolites from six drugs. Results. Eight out of nine drug metabolites were identified in the samples. Marijuana (THC-COOH), cocaine (benzoylecgonine) and methamphetamine were identified in schools, centers of addiction treatment and penitentiaries. Nuevo Laredo, Culiacan and Torreon had the highest consumption of cocaine, marijuana, amphetamine and methamphetamine. Conclusions. Monitoring drug use through wastewater is feasible in Mexico and could constitute a surveillance system to identify changes in the time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Addiction Severity Index (ASI-6) is recommended for identify addicted patients' needs and evaluate programs effectivity. Objective: to develop a version for Colombia of the ASI-6 with trans-linguistic and trans-cultural equivalency with the original and evaluate reliability and construct validity. Materials and methods: Colombian adults with substance harmful use or dependency syndrome diagnosis that were attending treatment were included. A cultural adaptation was done to the original English version. The scale was translated and retro-translated for equivalency evaluation. Reliability was evaluated in form of internal consistency and interrater and test-retest reliability. Construct validity was evaluated comparing ASI-6 subscales with another scales with similar underlying construct. Results: An adequate internal consistency for the subscales of the ASI-6 was found, with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient above 0.7, except for the Social- Problems subscale (a=0.66). Inter-rater and test-retest reliability was high, with Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) above 0.7 for all the subscales. Construct validity was demonstrated by Spearman correlation coefficient between 0.53 and 0,88 among ASI-6 subscales and another similar scales. Conclusion: Good reliability and validity were found with the adapted version of the ASI-6 to the Colombian context and can be introduced to clinical practice. However, additional studies are needed to evaluate its responsiveness and structural validity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
