Abstract(s)
A adição é uma doença crónica que envolve alguns componentes como a recompensa
do cérebro, motivação, memória e circuitos relacionados; isto pode levar a uma recaída, ao
desenvolvimento progressivo e mesmo a um desenlace fatal se não for tratada. O uso
patológico de álcool e, mais recentemente, as substâncias psicoativas têm sido aceitas como
doenças que causam dependência. Este estudo pretendeu avaliar as diferenças entre
toxicodependentes e alcoólicos, a relação entre o sono, a agressividade, a perceção de risco, as
Ist´s e o VIH. E analisou os preditores sociodemográficos numa amostra de 115
consumidores. Os resultados revelaram diferenças entre os dois grupos, sendo que os
toxicodependentes têm pior qualidade do sono, têm uma maior prevalência de doenças
sexualmente transmissíveis, realizaram mais o teste ao VIH e o resultado foi mais
frequentemente positivo. Verificou-se também que os utilizadores de substâncias com pior
qualidade de sono e maior agressividade são os que tiveram mais Ist´s, realizaram mais
frequentemente o teste ao VIH e o resultado do teste foi mais frequentemente positivo.
Adicionalmente, verificou-se que o género e as habilitações literárias predizem os maiores
consumos de álcool, com o modelo a explicar 16,9% da variância. A idade, residência e as
habilitações literárias predizem os maiores consumos de drogas, com o modelo a explicar
35,4% da variância. A pior qualidade do sono prediz os maiores consumos de drogas, com o
modelo a explicar 5,3% da variância. Os resultados revelam a necessidade de avaliar e
implementar programas de intervenção ao nível das dependências.
The addition is a chronic disease that involves some components like the brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry; This may lead to a relapse, progressive development, and the potential for fatal if left untreated. Although the pathological alcohol use and, more recently, the psychoactive substances have been accepted as addictive diseases. This study evaluated the differences between drug addicts and alcoholics, the relationship between sleep, aggression, the perception of risk, the Ist ´ 's and HIV. And socio-demographic predictors examined in a sample of 115. The results showed differences between the two groups, and the drug addicts have worse sleep quality, have a higher prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases, carried out more the HIV test and the result was more often positive. It was also verified that users of substances with poorer quality of sleep and increased aggressiveness are the ones who had more Ist ´ s, more often the HIV test and the test result was more often positive. Additionally, it was found that the gender and the education predict the highest alcohol consumption, with the template to explain 16. 9% of the variance. Age, residence and education predict the major drug consumption, with the template to explain 35. 4% of the variance. The worse sleep quality predicts the biggest consumption of drugs, with the template to explain 5. 3% of the variance. The results reveal the need to assess and implement intervention programmes at the level of dependencies.
