Estimate the rate of anxiety disorders (AD) and associated factors among patients with substance use disorder (SUD) in Lebanon.
A cross-sectional study, conducted between April and September 2017, enrolled 57 inpatients with SUD.
The rate of AD in patients with SUD was 61.4%. The university level of education compared to the primary level of education (ORa = 0.221) was significantly associated with lower anxiety among patients with SUD. Being sexually abused and having a family history of depression tended to significance.
AD is widespread in Lebanon and high rates of anxiety in patients with SUD were found, warranting the implementation of strategic interventions and establishing national policies and legislation for mental health services to provide optimal care.
估计黎巴嫩物质使用障碍(SUD)患者中焦虑障碍(AD)的发生率及相关因素。
本横断面研究于 2017 年 4 月至 9 月期间纳入 57 名 SUD 住院患者。
SUD 患者的 AD 发生率为 61.4%。与小学教育相比,大学教育水平(ORa=0.221)与 SUD 患者的低焦虑显著相关。性虐待和有抑郁家族史也有显著趋势。
AD 在黎巴嫩很普遍,且 SUD 患者的焦虑率很高,这需要实施战略干预措施,并制定国家政策和立法,以提供心理健康服务,从而提供最佳护理。
