Opium dependency is an important health problem in Iran. Several studies show that most opium dependent patients have concomitant psychiatric disorders. The aim of this study was evaluation of psychiatric disorders in opium dependency in comparison with heroin dependency.
This is a descriptive study on 192 male opium dependent patients who were admitted in dual- diagnosis ward of Beheshti Hospital in Kerman for detoxification. After evaluation of their demographic data, they were assessed by means of SCL-90-R test.
The mean age of subjects was 33.92±7.67 years. All scales of SCL-90-R were evaluated as borderline or sick. The scores of obsession-compulsion, anxiety, phobia, psychosis, PST, and GSI were significantly higher in heroin dependents compared to opium dependent patients (P < 0.05).
It is recommended that all patients with opium dependency should be evaluated for co-morbid psychiatric disorders. This may improve the outcome and management of their dependency.
鸦片依赖在伊朗是一个重要的健康问题。多项研究表明,大多数鸦片依赖患者同时患有精神疾病。本研究的目的是比较鸦片依赖与海洛因依赖患者的精神疾病情况。
这是一项描述性研究,对192名因戒毒入住克尔曼市贝赫什提医院双重诊断病房的男性鸦片依赖患者进行研究。在评估他们的人口统计学数据后,通过SCL-90-R测试对他们进行评估。
受试者的平均年龄为33.92±7.67岁。SCL-90-R的所有量表评估结果均为临界或病态。与鸦片依赖患者相比,海洛因依赖患者的强迫、焦虑、恐惧、精神病、PST和GSI得分显著更高(P<0.05)。
建议对所有鸦片依赖患者进行共病精神疾病评估。这可能会改善他们依赖问题的治疗效果和管理。
