Abstract

The Covid19 pandemic has led to many publications about its influence on the treatment and evolution of individuals with a substance use disorder, leading to contradictory results. In this study, the adherence and abstinence rates of patients who started treatment in an Addictive Behavior Unit during the pandemic are analyzed, compared with others who attended the previous year and comparing those who were attended in person or by phone. The results indicate that during the Covid19 period, patients had greater adherence to treatment after one month of follow up and when attended to by phone. At 3 and 12 months, greater adherence was maintained, although it was not statistically significant. Regarding abstinence, the small sample size made it difficult to obtain significant differences. The conclusion is that, despite a quantitative decrease in the number of patients beginning drug treatment, in qualitative terms the pandemic led to greater adherence in the short and medium term. Telephone attention can play an important and positive role at this point, complementary to other resources and interventions.

在 Covid19 大流行期间,电话援助对酗酒和其他成瘾患者坚持治疗的益处。
Covid19 大流行引发了许多关于其对药物使用障碍患者的治疗和演变的影响的出版物,导致了相互矛盾的结果。本研究分析了在大流行期间开始在成瘾行为科接受治疗的患者的坚持率和戒断率,并与前一年接受治疗的其他患者进行了比较,还对亲自或通过电话接受治疗的患者进行了比较。结果表明,在 Covid19 期间,患者在接受一个月的随访和电话随访后坚持治疗的比例更高。在 3 个月和 12 个月的随访中,患者坚持治疗的程度仍然较高,但在统计学上并不显著。在戒酒方面,由于样本量较小,很难得出显著的差异。结论是,尽管开始接受药物治疗的患者人数在数量上有所减少,但从质量上看,大流行在短期和中期内提高了患者的依从性。在这一点上,电话关注可以发挥重要而积极的作用,与其他资源和干预措施相辅相成。
