Abstract

Abstract Background Despite the growing interest in addiction research, which demonstrates the potential predictive role of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), little is known about their impact on the psychological symptoms of craving. Methods After reviewing the relevant diagnostic criteria for addiction and comorbid mental disorders along with routinely collected clinical and service-use data, 208 outpatients were assessed on the study protocol. Following the recruitment phase, nominal and ordinal data were analyzed using nonparametric methods. Results Most of the outpatients reported ACEs (89.1%) and experienced cravings (73.4–95.7%). A positive association between ACEs and either intention and preplanning (r = .14, p < .05) or lack of control (r = .15; p < .05) of the craving behavior was found. Conclusion Craving behavior in addiction remains a subject of debate. Although correlation analyses showed significant associations between reported ACEs and measures of craving, they were relatively small.

不良的童年经历和渴望:来自意大利门诊成瘾治疗人群的结果

背景尽管对成瘾研究的兴趣日益浓厚，表明不良童年经历(ace)具有潜在的预测作用，但对其对渴望心理症状的影响知之甚少。方法在回顾成瘾和共病精神障碍的相关诊断标准以及常规收集的临床和服务使用数据后，对208例门诊患者进行研究方案评估。在招募阶段之后，使用非参数方法分析名义和序数数据。结果绝大多数门诊患者有不良反应(89.1%)和渴望(73.4 ~ 95.7%)。ace与意图和事前计划呈正相关(r = 0.14, p < 0.05)或缺乏控制(r = 0.15;P < 0.05)。结论成瘾中的渴望行为仍然是一个有争议的话题。尽管相关分析显示，报告的不良经历与渴望程度之间存在显著关联，但这种关联相对较小。
