Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective Evaluate the association between levels of mindfulness and sociodemographic characteristics and pattern of drug use of individuals seeking treatment in a University Service Specialized in Substance Use Disorders. Methods This is a cross-sectional study with 164 individuals over 18 years of age seeking treatment for the use of psychoactive substances in the June 2018-December 2019 period, using a questionnaire for sociodemographic data, the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) self-reporting instrument, and the Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test. Results An association was found between low levels of mindfulness mainly with the individual risk of being a medium/high-risk user of sedative-hypnotic drugs (p = 0.020). A borderline association was also found between MAAS and the risk of the individual being a medium/high risk of alcohol (p = 0.053) and with a more severe pattern of substance use (p = 0.065). Conclusion Individuals seeking treatment for substance use presented impairments in the attentional aspect of mindfulness and levels of mindfulness seem to protect against behaviors related to substance use, especially against the use of high/moderate risk of sedative-hypnotics.

正念水平与物质使用模式的关系

摘要目的评估在大学药物使用障碍专业服务中心寻求治疗的个体的正念水平与社会人口学特征和药物使用模式之间的关系。方法这是一项横断面研究，共有164名18岁以上的人在2018年6月至2019年12月期间因使用精神活性物质而寻求治疗，使用社会人口统计数据问卷、正念注意意识量表（MAAS）自我报告工具和酒精、吸烟和物质参与筛查测试。结果低正念水平主要与镇静催眠药物中/高风险使用者的个体风险相关（p=0.020）。MAAS与酒精中/高危险者的风险（p=0.053）和更严重的药物使用模式（p=0.065）之间也存在边界关联药物使用治疗在正念的注意力方面表现出损伤，正念水平似乎可以防止与药物使用相关的行为，尤其是使用高/中等风险的镇静催眠药。
