This is a cross-sectional, hospital based study conducted in De-Addiction centre under department of psychiatry, AIIMS, New Delhi, India. Patients and their spouses fulfilling inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study after taking informed consent. A diagnosis of Opioid Dependence Syndrome (ODS) was made based on ICD-10 criteria and the assessment of severity of ODS was determined by Addiction Severity Index (Hindi version). Subsequently the family burden, perceived by spouses was assessed using Family Burden Interview Schedule (FBIS). Most of the subjects were from urban or semi-urban areas, mostly from around the service facility. The maximum number of subjects was of age group 31-40 years with majority of having below high school level education. Both subjective and objective family burden was perceived as "severe" by subjects' spouses. The relationship between spouses' perceived burden and socio-demographic variables including duration of substance abuse were not correlated. Hence it was found that opioid dependent subjects cause considerable amount of distress to their care providers.
这是一项基于医院的横断面研究，在印度新德里全印医学科学研究所精神病学系的戒毒中心进行。符合纳入标准的患者及其配偶在获得知情同意后被纳入研究。根据国际疾病分类第10版标准诊断阿片类物质依赖综合征（ODS），并通过成瘾严重程度指数（印地语版）确定ODS的严重程度评估。随后，使用家庭负担访谈量表（FBIS）评估配偶感受到的家庭负担。大多数受试者来自城市或半城市地区，大多来自服务机构周边。受试者的最大年龄组为31 - 40岁，大多数人受教育程度低于高中水平。受试者的配偶认为主观和客观家庭负担均为“严重”。配偶感受到的负担与包括药物滥用持续时间在内的社会人口学变量之间没有相关性。因此发现，阿片类物质依赖受试者给他们的护理提供者带来了相当大的困扰。
