This study sought to examine how specific substance-use behavior, including nonmedical prescription stimulant (NPS) use, among U.S. medical students correlates with their attitudes and beliefs toward professionalism.
An anonymous survey was distributed to all medical students at a private medical university (46% response rate). Participants were asked to report alcohol and marijuana use patterns, NPS use, stress levels, and history of suicidal ideation.
Over one-third of medical students reported excessive drinking during the past month, and 5% reported NPS use during the past year. Students who endorsed such behavior were significantly less likely to view it as unprofessional and warranting intervention. A large number of students seemed unfamiliar with how to help a classmate with an NPS use problem.
Medical students' substance use behaviors appear to influence attitudes and beliefs toward professional issues regarding substance use.
本研究旨在探讨美国医学生特定的物质使用行为,包括非医疗处方兴奋剂(NPS)的使用,与其对专业精神的态度和信念之间的关系。
一项匿名调查分发给一所私立医科大学的所有医学生(回应率为 46%)。要求参与者报告酒精和大麻使用模式、NPS 使用情况、压力水平和自杀意念史。
超过三分之一的医学生报告在过去一个月内饮酒过量,5%的医学生报告在过去一年中使用过 NPS。有这些行为的学生不太可能认为这些行为不专业,不需要干预。大量学生似乎不熟悉如何帮助有 NPS 使用问题的同学。
医学生的物质使用行为似乎会影响他们对与物质使用相关的专业问题的态度和信念。
