Abstract

Background: Substance abuse among commercial drivers in Nigeria is a major public health problem. This study was designed to determine the willingness of drivers to quit substance abuse in motor parks. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 350 commercial drivers across motor parks in Ikorodu Division of Lagos State in June 2019. Participants were selected using the multistage sampling technique, while information was obtained using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. The data were analyzed in August 2019 with univariate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) used to determine the correlates of willingness to quit (WTQ). Results: Two hundred and eight respondents (59.4%) had engaged in substance abuse in the motor parks within the past month with most using depressants (98.1%), nonopioid pain relievers (61.1%), and stimulants (60.6%). One hundred and twenty-six respondents, that is, 60.5% of persons who had abused substances while in the motor parks. Greater WTQ was associated with road traffic crash within the past 12 months (OR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.22–1.51), working for more than 5 days a week (OR = 1.12, 95% CI: 1.04–1.42), and existing diagnosis of a non–communicable disease (OR = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.14–1.71). Reduced WTQ was associated with lower educational status (OR = 0.82, 95% CI: 0.21–0.94) and younger age (OR = 0.31, 95% CI: 0.22–0.68). Conclusion: WTQ substance abuse in motor parks is high among the respondents. The correlates of increased or reduced WTQ should be taken into consideration when planning interventions to reduce substance abuse in motor parks.
在尼日利亚拉各斯的汽车停车场,商业司机戒烟的意愿——一项横断面研究
背景:尼日利亚商业司机滥用药物是一个重大的公共卫生问题。本研究旨在确定司机在汽车停车场戒除药物滥用的意愿。材料和方法:2019年6月,在拉各斯州伊科罗杜省汽车公园的350名商业司机中进行了一项横断面研究。参与者选择使用多阶段抽样技术,而信息是通过访谈者管理的问卷。于2019年8月对数据进行分析,使用单变量优势比(ORs)和95%置信区间(95% ci)来确定戒烟意愿(WTQ)的相关性。结果:调查对象中有288人(59.4%)在过去一个月内曾在汽车停车场滥用药物,其中以使用抑制剂(98.1%)、非阿片类止痛药(61.1%)和兴奋剂(60.6%)居多。126名回答者,即60.5%曾在停车场内滥用药物的人。较高的WTQ与过去12个月内的道路交通事故(OR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.22-1.51)、每周工作超过5天(OR = 1.12, 95% CI: 1.04-1.42)以及现有的非传染性疾病诊断(OR = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.14-1.71)相关。WTQ降低与较低的教育程度(OR = 0.82, 95% CI: 0.21-0.94)和较年轻(OR = 0.31, 95% CI: 0.22-0.68)相关。结论:汽车停车场WTQ类药物滥用比例较高。在规划减少汽车停车场药物滥用的干预措施时,应考虑到WTQ增加或减少的相关性。
