One of the most effective strategies in the prevention of addiction is increasing awareness among young people, towards the tendency for taking drugs their physical, mental and social side effects. Storytelling is effective for increasing characteristics of happiness and resilience. This study uses storytelling, a common and popular method to increase awareness among adolescents.
To examine the effect of storytelling-based education on the prevention of drug abuse, based on a readiness to addiction index.
This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 136 high school students (grade one), selected by a cluster sampling procedure from May 2014 to February 2015 in Zabol, Iran. The instrument for gathering data was a readiness to addiction questionnaire. This questionnaire included 41 items for which the scoring of each item followed the Likerts format. The data gathered was analysed using SPSS version 21 with descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.
The results revealed that the mean of the readiness to addiction index in the case group fell from 75.66±19.99 to 69.57±21.83 (paired t-test; p =0.02); in the control group the same index changed from 103.01±21.88 to 93.98±27.70 (paired t-test, p = 0.775). That is, the index decreased for both groups, but the reduction was statistically significant only for the case group (p =0.02).
This suggests that the narrative method is effective in reducing adolescents readiness to addiction. Storytelling is an effective way to raise awareness among young people about addiction and its detrimental impacts on health. Therefore, such a technique can be taken into consideration in teaching principles of prevention.
预防成瘾最有效的策略之一是提高年轻人对吸毒倾向及其身体、心理和社会副作用的认识。讲故事对于增强幸福感和恢复力很有效。本研究采用讲故事这种常见且流行的方法来提高青少年的认识。
基于成瘾准备指数，研究基于讲故事的教育对预防药物滥用的效果。
这项准实验研究于2014年5月至2015年2月在伊朗扎博勒对136名高一学生进行，采用整群抽样程序选取。收集数据的工具是成瘾准备问卷。该问卷包括41个项目，每个项目的评分采用李克特量表格式。使用SPSS 21版对收集到的数据进行描述性统计和推断性统计分析。
结果显示，病例组的成瘾准备指数均值从75.66±19.99降至69.57±21.83（配对t检验；p = 0.02）；对照组的同一指数从103.01±21.88变为93.98±27.70（配对t检验，p = 0.775）。也就是说，两组的指数都有所下降，但仅病例组的下降具有统计学意义（p = 0.02）。
这表明叙事方法在降低青少年成瘾准备度方面是有效的。讲故事是提高年轻人对成瘾及其对健康有害影响认识的有效方式。因此，在预防教学原则中可以考虑采用这种技术。
