Abstract

Background

New drug dependency poses a significant threat to global mental health and behavior. Impulsivity − defined as poor self-control and delay discounting − is a well-established risk factor for substance abuse and relapse. Although childhood experiences are known to influence impulsivity, the specific roles of parenting styles and childhood abuse to new drug dependency remain underexplored.

Methods

This cross-sectional study included 1,042 patients with new drug dependency. Data were collected using the Revised Short-Form Egna Minnen av Barndoms Uppfostran for Chinese, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form, and Barratt Impulsivity Scale-11. Network analysis identified key items and interactions, with central and bridge nodes determined using the qgraph and networktools packages. The bootnet package was used to assess network stability.

Results

Impulsivity was used as the dependent variable. I2 (Motor Impulsivity) − F9 (Emotional Abuse), I1 (Nonplanning Impulsivity) − F9 (Emotional Abuse), and I3 (Attentional Impulsivity) − F11 (Sexual Abuse) showed notable correlations. F5 (Father’s Overprotection) had the strongest centrality, marking it as a key factor, followed by F9 (Emotional Abuse). Additionally, I2 (Motor Impulsivity) and F9 (Emotional Abuse) emerged as two key bridge nodes linking distinct communities.

Conclusions

Father’s overprotection and emotional abuse may have a significant impact on impulsivity of patients with new drug dependency. Motor impulsivity and emotional abuse serve as bridges in different directions. Addressing these issues may enhance intervention effectiveness and reduce relapse risk in patients.

父母教养方式和童年虐待对中青年新型药物依赖患者冲动性的影响：网络分析

新的药物依赖对全球心理健康和行为构成重大威胁。冲动性——定义为自我控制能力差和延迟折扣——是药物滥用和复发的一个公认的风险因素。虽然人们知道童年经历会影响冲动，但父母教养方式和童年虐待对新药物依赖的具体作用仍未得到充分探讨。方法对1042例新型药物依赖患者进行横断面研究。数据采用修订后的《中国儿童创伤简易量表》、《儿童创伤简易量表》和Barratt冲动性量表-11收集。网络分析确定了关键项目和交互，使用qgraph和networktools包确定了中心节点和桥接节点。使用bootnet包来评估网络的稳定性。结果以简单度为因变量。I2（运动冲动性）−F9（情绪虐待）、I1（计划性冲动性）−F9（情绪虐待）、I3（注意冲动性）−F11（性虐待）呈显著相关。F5（父亲的过度保护）的中心性最强，是一个关键因素，其次是F9（情感虐待）。此外，I2（运动冲动）和F9（情绪虐待）成为连接不同社区的两个关键桥梁节点。结论父亲的过度保护和情绪虐待可能对新药物依赖患者的冲动性有显著影响。运动冲动和情感虐待是通往不同方向的桥梁。解决这些问题可以提高干预的有效性，降低患者的复发风险。

期刊介绍： Addictive Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality human research on addictive behaviors and disorders since 1975. The journal accepts submissions of full-length papers and short communications on substance-related addictions such as the abuse of alcohol, drugs and nicotine, and behavioral addictions involving gambling and technology. We primarily publish behavioral and psychosocial research but our articles span the fields of psychology, sociology, psychiatry, epidemiology, social policy, medicine, pharmacology and neuroscience. While theoretical orientations are diverse, the emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. However, innovative and empirically oriented case studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry are accepted as well. Studies that clearly contribute to current knowledge of etiology, prevention, social policy or treatment are given priority. Scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are encouraged. We especially welcome multimedia papers that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings. Studies can also be submitted to Addictive Behaviors? companion title, the open access journal Addictive Behaviors Reports, which has a particular interest in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically-oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research.
