Subst Use Misuse. 2017 Aug 24;52(10):1357-1363. doi: 10.1080/10826084.2017.1280833. Epub 2017 Apr 10.
Given the stressful nature of military life, people in the armed forces are vulnerable to substance use.
The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between family and peers with drug use among military forces in Iran.
Convenience sampling was used to recruit a total of 422 draftees doing military service in army units in Tehran, Iran. Measures of family and peers' risk and protective factors, alcohol use, and other drug use were administered.
Findings indicated significant relationships between family (i.e., family models for risk behavior, parent sanctions, and family controls) and peers (i.e., peer modeling for risk behavior, peer controls, support from friends) with drug use. A multiple regression analysis revealed that peer modeling for risk behavior, family models for risk behavior, and parent sanctions were significant predictors of drug use in soldiers.
These results were consistent with the influence of family and peer on drug use amongst soldiers. Programs designed to reduce alcohol and other drug use may benefit from tailoring to fit risk and protective files amongst peer and family networks.
鉴于军事生活的压力性质,武装部队人员易受药物使用的影响。
本研究旨在探讨伊朗军队中家庭和同伴与药物使用之间的关系。
采用便利抽样法,招募了总共422名在伊朗德黑兰陆军部队服兵役的应征入伍者。对家庭和同伴的风险及保护因素、酒精使用和其他药物使用进行了测量。
研究结果表明,家庭(即风险行为的家庭模式、父母制裁和家庭控制)和同伴(即风险行为的同伴示范、同伴控制、朋友支持)与药物使用之间存在显著关系。多元回归分析显示,风险行为的同伴示范、风险行为的家庭模式和父母制裁是士兵药物使用的重要预测因素。
这些结果与家庭和同伴对士兵药物使用的影响一致。旨在减少酒精和其他药物使用的项目可能会受益于根据同伴和家庭网络中的风险和保护档案进行调整。
