This study investigated the prevalence of substance use (SU), and its risk factors, among women attending psychiatric outpatients center in Saudi Arabia.
A retrospective cross-sectional design.
We reviewed outpatients' records of 200 female patients with a history of SU from a psychiatric unit in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia from December 2018 to February 2019. The researchers developed the , and 2 psychiatrists and a family medicine physician validated the form.
The most common and widely used were psychoactive substances (58%), followed by central nervous system (CNS) depressants (22%), and finally cannabinols (9.5%). Overall, the highest substance use was the amphetamine-cannabis-nicotine (ACN) representing nearly half of the illicit items (46.6%), followed by heroine-alcohol-benzodiazepine (16.4%), and with the lowest being benzodiazepine-nicotine (1.7%). There was a significant difference between the single substance and multiple substance use in terms of age ( = 0.001), smoking behavior ( = 0.001), patients past history ( = 0.005), and age of the patient at the start of drug use ( = 0.005).
Although the prevalence of substance use among women is low in Saudi Arabia, screening of substance use disorders risks and building a rehabilitation program to control drug dependence are needed.
本研究调查了沙特阿拉伯精神科门诊中心女性患者的物质使用情况及其风险因素。
回顾性横断面设计。
我们回顾了2018年12月至2019年2月期间沙特阿拉伯吉达一家精神科单位的200名有物质使用史的女性患者的门诊记录。研究人员设计了表格，两名精神科医生和一名家庭医学医生对表格进行了验证。
最常见且使用最广泛的是精神活性物质（58%），其次是中枢神经系统（CNS）抑制剂（22%），最后是大麻酚（9.5%）。总体而言，物质使用量最高的是苯丙胺 - 大麻 - 尼古丁（ACN），占非法物品的近一半（46.6%），其次是海洛因 - 酒精 - 苯二氮卓（16.4%），最低的是苯二氮卓 - 尼古丁（1.7%）。在年龄（=0.001）、吸烟行为（=0.001）、患者既往史（=0.005）以及开始使用药物时患者的年龄（=0.005）方面，单一物质使用和多种物质使用之间存在显著差异。
尽管沙特阿拉伯女性物质使用的患病率较低，但仍需要筛查物质使用障碍风险并建立康复计划以控制药物依赖。
