摘要

背景:与大麻合法化相关的政策环境迅速变化,导致美国的大麻使用发生了巨大变化。医用大麻的使用总体上在增加,但与其他年龄组相比,老年人使用大麻的速度更快:目的:调查老年人使用大麻的行为,以及他们向初级医疗保健提供者(HCPs)披露医用大麻使用情况的态度:从加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥市非住院诊所张贴的传单中招募了 19 名自我报告使用医用大麻的老年人(65 岁以上)。完成了关于大麻使用情况的调查和半结构化访谈。采用多种方法分析数据:参与者的平均年龄为 75.3 岁,52.6% 为女性,89.5% 为白人。所有参与者都使用大麻治疗疼痛,75%的人使用大麻治疗失眠,治疗这些症状的处方药使用量减少了25%-33%。约 89% 的人称他们的主要保健医生知道他们使用大麻,84.2% 的人在与保健医生谈论大麻时感到非常自在/自在。访谈中的共同主题包括:(1)参与者有动力向其初级保健医生透露使用大麻的情况,以寻求有关大麻剂量、副作用和益处的医疗建议;(2)由于大麻合法化减轻了人们对使用大麻的偏见,因此他们对透露使用大麻的情况感到很自在;以及(3)他们认为初级保健医生对其使用大麻的情况大多持中立态度:本研究强调了作为教育者的保健专业人员在解决病人对大麻的咨询方面所起的关键作用,强调了通过教育和培训活动使保健专业人员掌握循证知识的必要性。

Older Adults' Use of Cannabis and Attitudes Around Disclosing Medical Cannabis Use to Their Healthcare Providers in California: A Mixed Methods Study.

Background: The rapidly changing policy climate related to cannabis legalization has led to drastic changes in cannabis use in the United States (US). Medical cannabis use is increasing overall, but at a faster rate among older adults compared to other age groups.

Objective: The aim was to investigate older adults' cannabis use behaviors and attitudes around disclosing medical cannabis use to their primary healthcare providers (HCPs).

Methods: Nineteen older adults (ages 65+ years) with self-reported medical cannabis use were recruited from flyers posted in ambulatory clinics in San Diego, CA. Surveys and semi-structured interviews on cannabis use were completed. A multi-methods approach was used to analyze data.

Results: Participants' mean age was 75.3 years; 52.6% identified as women, and 89.5% as White. Cannabis was used by all participants to treat pain and by 75% for insomnia, with 25-33% reductions in use of prescription medications to treat these symptoms. Approximately 89% reported their primary HCPs were aware of their cannabis use, and 84.2% felt very comfortable/comfortable talking to HCPs about cannabis. Common themes from interviews included participants (1) being motivated to disclose cannabis use to their HCPs to seek medical advice on dosing, side effects, and benefits of cannabis, (2) feeling comfortable disclosing cannabis use as legalization has eased the stigma around cannabis use, and (3) perceiving mostly neutral attitudes from HCPs on their cannabis use.

Conclusion: The study emphasizes the pivotal role of HCPs as educators in addressing patient inquiries about cannabis, underlining the need for equipping healthcare professionals with evidence-based knowledge through education and training initiatives.
