摘要

背景:精神活性物质的使用由于其高流行率和相关的发病率和死亡率风险而日益成为全球公共卫生关注的问题。在东地中海区域,这个问题在医学生中尤为紧迫,因为它会影响他们的学习成绩、心理健康和未来的职业行为。目的:本系统综述和荟萃分析旨在确定EMRO地区医学生精神活性物质使用的患病率和模式。环境:在EMRO区域进行的研究包括在分析中。方法:系统检索PubMed、Scopus和Web of Science,确定符合条件的研究。采用随机效应模型估计合并患病率,并采用元回归评估影响患病率变化的因素。结果:共纳入10项研究。医学生饮酒的总患病率为9.52%(95%可信区间[CI]:[4.82-17.93]),在剔除异常值(i2 = 81.3%)后降至5.92% (95% CI:[4.59-7.60])。meta回归表明,样本量大于500的研究报告的患病率低于较小的研究(β = -1.55, 95% CI:[-2.89; -0.21])。排除异常值后,非法药物使用的总患病率为9.89% (95% CI:[4.67-19.75])和7.78% (95% CI:[3.71-15.58])。结论:EMRO地区医学生的药物使用仍然是一个值得关注的问题。贡献:本研究强调了迫切需要预防策略,以提高医学学生的认识和促进更健康的行为。

Prevalence of psychoactive substance use among medical students in the EMRO region.

Prevalence of psychoactive substance use among medical students in the EMRO region.

Prevalence of psychoactive substance use among medical students in the EMRO region.

Prevalence of psychoactive substance use among medical students in the EMRO region.

Background: The use of psychoactive substances is a growing global public health concern because of its high prevalence and associated risks of morbidity and mortality. In the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMRO), this issue is particularly pressing among medical students, as it can impact their academic performance, mental health and future professional behaviour.

Aim: This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to determine the prevalence and patterns of psychoactive substance use among medical students in the EMRO region.

Setting: Studies conducted in the EMRO region were included in the analysis.

Method: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science, identifying eligible studies. A random-effects model was used to estimate pooled prevalence rates, and meta-regression was performed to assess factors influencing prevalence variation.

Results: Ten studies were included in the study. The pooled prevalence of alcohol consumption among medical students was 9.52% (95% confidence interval [CI]: [4.82-17.93]), which decreased to 5.92% (95% CI: [4.59-7.60]) after removing outliers (I 2 = 81.3%). Meta-regression indicated that studies with sample sizes above 500 reported lower prevalence than smaller studies (β = -1.55, 95% CI: [-2.89; -0.21]). The pooled prevalence of illicit drug use was 9.89% (95% CI: [4.67-19.75]) and 7.78% (95% CI: [3.71-15.58]) after outlier removal.

Conclusion: Substance use among medical students in the EMRO region remains a significant concern.

Contribution: This study highlights the urgent need for preventive strategies to raise awareness and promote healthier behaviours among medical students.
