There are different factors related to a user’s first trial of illegal drugs such as methamphet amine. This qualitative study aimed to explore factors associated with the initiation of methamphetamine consumption among 12 methamphetamine consumers who were invited to the study through purposeful sampling, using the snowball technique, in Khomein city, Iran, in 2019. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed through content analysis in MAXQDA Version 10 software. Four main categories were extracted from the qualitative data, including (i) Curiosity and encouragement by friends; (ii) Misconception that methamphetamine is not addictive, and its effect on quitting other substances; (iii) Forgetting sorrow and grief; and (iv) The effects of methamphetamine in warding off sleep. Designing public health interventions to increase awareness on the addictive nature and the negative side effects of metham phetamine is necessary. Besides, we suggest efforts to increase public awareness and knowledge regarding the health risks of methamphetamine and to modify the related misconceptions.","PeriodicalId":43188,"journal":{"name":"Addicta-The Turkish Journal on Addictions","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49422933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An online questionnaire was used to facilitate the participation of busy healthcare workers. The survey was shared on all health platforms and various social network groups (Facebook, WhatsApp, etc.) for doctors (specialists, physicians, residents, dentists), nurses, and all other healthcare workers This questionnaire consisted of two tests, namely the Beck Anxiety Scale (BAS) and the Fagerstrom Nicotine Dependence Test (FNDT), and sociodemographic questions. A total of 806 healthcare workers, of whom 74.2% were physicians, 8.8% were midwives/nurses, and 15.1% were assistant health workers, participated in the study. Among all the participants, 501 (62.1%) were nonsmokers, 305 (37.9%) were smokers, and 8(1%) resumed smoking during the pandemic. In terms of the smoking habits of the participants during the pandemic period, 34% of the women who smoked had increased their amount of smoking. With respect to the smoking cessation rates of the participants, the physicians had quit or reduced smoking more than the other participants. The rate of smoking cessation in our study was 2.23%.
