Abstract

The usage of substances is preventable, thus requiring continuous multidimensional interventions and monitoring. The increasing trend of substance use among young people highlights the need to evaluate the effectiveness of studies conducted in this field. This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of substance dependency prevention efforts within a local community in Eastern Turkey. This study adopts a comparative cross-sectional type based on prospective monitoring. It was completed with a total of 1089 students. Data for the research were collected using the Substance Use and Reasons Survey and the Self-Efficacy Scale for Preventing Substance Addiction in Adolescents between March and April 2018, following necessary permissions. The data were analyzed using percentages, chi-square, t-tests, ANOVA, correlation, regression analysis, and Odds Ratio values in the SPSS program. According to the research findings, over three years compared to multidimensional studies, the rates of cigarette (2015: 21.7%, 2018: 19.5%) and alcohol (2015: 21.7%, 2018: 19.5%) usage showed a decreasing tendency, while there was a slight increase in the usage of other addictive substances (2015: 4.2%, 2018: 4.8%). Additionally, there was an observed increase in scores on the Substance Addiction Prevention Scale for Adolescents (2015: 93.61±18.99, 2018: 100.09±18.18).

BÜTÜNCÜL MÜDAHALEYİ İÇEREN ÖNLEYİCİ ÇALIŞMALARIN ÖĞRENCİLERDE MADDE BAĞIMLILIĞINA ETKİLERİ: PROSPEKTİF İZLEM ÇALIŞMASI

Abstract

Madde kullanımı önlenebilir olduğundan, sürekli çok boyutlu müdahalelere ve izleme ihtiyaç vardır. Gençler arasında madde kullanımının giderek artan eğilimi, bu alanda yapılan çalışmaların etkinliğinin değerlendirilmesi gerekliliğine işaret etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’nin doğusunda yerel bir toplulukta madde bağımlılığını önleme çalışmalarının etkinliğini ortaya koymaktır. Bu çalışma, prospektif izleme dayanan karşılaştırmalı türden kesitsel bir çalışmadır. Çalışma, toplam 1089 öğrenci ile tamamlandı. Araştırmanın verileri gerekli izinler alındıktan, sonra Mart-Nisan 2018 tarihleri arasında Madde Kullanımı ve Nedenleri Anketi ve Ergenlerde Madde Bağımlılığından Korunma Öz-Yeterliği Ölçeği kullanılarak toplandı. Veriler SPSS programında yüzde, ki-kare, t-testi, ANOVA, korelasyon ve regresyon analizi ve Odds Ratio değeri kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Araştırma bulgularına göre, çok boyutlu çalışmalara göre 3 yıllık dönemde sigara (2015: %21,7, 2018: %19,5) ve alkol (2015: %21,7, 2018: %19,5) kullanım oranları azalma eğilimi gösterirken, diğer bağımlılık yapıcı maddelerin kullanımında ise hafif bir artış olduğu görüldü (2015: %4,2; 2018: %4,8). Ayrıca Ergenler İçin Madde Bağımlılığını Koruma Ölçeği puanlarının (2015; 93,61±18,99, 2018; 100,09±18,18) arttığı gözlemlendi.
