Abstract

Background: Understanding the factors associated with the propensity for drug dependence might be helpful in providing the best strategies for substance use prevention among youth. The present study was conducted to examine the association between childhood maltreatment (CM) and susceptibility to substance use disorders (SUDs), taking into account the mediating role of psychological safety.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, multistage cluster sampling was employed to recruit 400 male students from the three universities of Tabriz in 2019. Research instruments included the valid and reliable scales of substance abuse, childhood trauma, and mental safety. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation, and structural equation modeling.

Results: The results showed positive significant relationships between vulnerability to SUDs, CM, and low levels of psychological safety. The evaluation of our hypothetical research model using fit indices showed that the model fits well the measurement model (CFI=0.97, GFI=0.95, RMSEA=0.058).

Conclusion: Our proposed theoretical model suggested psychological security as a mediator between CM and SUDs. CM explained addiction in college students through reducing psychological security. Investigating these interactive processes seems to be detrimental, considering that they may enhance our understanding of the ways to reduce the risk.

童年虐待与药物使用障碍的易感性:心理安全的中介作用。
背景:了解与药物依赖倾向相关的因素可能有助于为预防青少年药物使用提供最佳策略。本研究旨在探讨儿童虐待(CM)与药物使用障碍(SUDs)易感性之间的关联,同时考虑心理安全的中介作用:在这项横断面研究中,采用了多阶段群组抽样法,招募了来自大不里士三所大学的 400 名男生。研究工具包括有效可靠的药物滥用、童年创伤和心理安全量表。数据采用皮尔逊相关和结构方程模型进行分析:结果表明,易受药物滥用、童年创伤和心理安全水平低之间存在正相关关系。使用拟合指数对我们的假设研究模型进行的评估表明,该模型与测量模型拟合良好(CFI=0.97,GFI=0.95,RMSEA=0.058):我们提出的理论模型表明,心理安全感是 CM 与 SUDs 之间的中介因素。CM通过降低心理安全感解释了大学生成瘾的原因。对这些互动过程进行研究似乎是有害的,因为它们可能会加深我们对降低风险的方法的理解。
