Abstract(s)
O consumo de substâncias constitui uma problemática de extrema importância
nos dias de hoje e este consumo pode encaminhar para a dependência. Neste sentido,
procura-se neste estudo perceber a preparação dos utentes para o tratamento em
comunidade terapêutica. Isto é, na medida em que os utentes se encontram motivados,
preparados e se as circunstâncias influenciam o tratamento. A população alvo deste
estudo são utentes do género masculino e feminino, maiores de idade que se encontram
em tratamento na comunidade terapêutica. Com recurso ao Questionário de Qualidade
de Vida, à Escala para o Tratamento de Abuso de Substâncias, e por último o ASSIST
(Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test). Estes instrumentos
foram distribuídos em contexto de reunião e antes da sua distribuição procedeu-se de
forma apropriada, solicitando as devidas autorizações ao responsável pela comunidade e
informando os utentes do objetivo da investigação. O tratamento de dados é anónimo e
confidencial, e a análise de dados foi feita a partir dos questionários aplicados
recorrendo ao programa informático Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS).
Participaram neste estudo, 160 utentes de diversas comunidades terapêuticas do Norte e
Centro do país. Os resultados obtidos indicam que as circunstâncias de vida dos utentes,
e a forma como estes se sentem preparados, apresentam influência no tratamento em
comunidade terapêutica. Foi possível também verificar a existência de variáveis que
facilitam o tratamento, como, a idade, o número de internamentos e a substância mais
consumida pelos utentes.
