Use of methamphetamine has increased in the last decade. The reasons for using methamphetamine vary according to the characteristics of the users. The literature includes review studies on methamphetamine use; however, no systematic review on the reasons for using methamphetamine was found. This study aims to determine the reasons for methamphetamine use through a systematic review of the literature.
The data from a systematic review of the literature review were reported in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. PubMed, Science Direct, Ovid-Medline, and Google Scholar databases were scanned using the keywords "methamphetamine", "crystal", "meth", "addiction", "reason for use", and "motivation to use". The articles (n = 25,004) were reviewed based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and 21 articles were finally selected for this study.
The reasons for using methamphetamine included improving performance, staying awake, increasing sexual performance and impulses, reducing the effects of withdrawal from other substances, coping with problems, socializing, having fun, and coping with pain and discomfort.
Methamphetamine users typically take this drug to provide performance enhancement and cope with problems in different areas. It is recommended to inform the users correctly about methamphetamine, to teach effective methods of coping with withdrawal, and to carry out supply prevention studies.
This is the first systematic literature review to reveal the reasons why people take methamphetamine. Revealing these causes is very important in terms of intervention (basic, primary, secondary, and tertiary protection) strategies.
在过去十年中，甲基苯丙胺的使用有所增加。使用甲基苯丙胺的原因因使用者的特点而异。文献中包括关于甲基苯丙胺使用的综述研究；然而，没有发现关于使用甲基苯丙胺原因的系统综述。本研究旨在通过系统综述文献来确定使用甲基苯丙胺的原因。
根据系统评价和荟萃分析报告的首选报告项目，报告了系统文献回顾的数据。使用关键词“甲基苯丙胺”、“冰毒”、“甲基”、“成瘾”、“使用原因”和“使用动机”，扫描了 PubMed、Science Direct、Ovid-Medline 和 Google Scholar 数据库。根据纳入和排除标准对文章（n=25,004）进行了审查，最终选择了 21 篇文章进行本研究。
使用甲基苯丙胺的原因包括提高表现、保持清醒、提高性表现和冲动、减轻其他物质戒断的影响、应对问题、社交、娱乐以及应对疼痛和不适。
甲基苯丙胺使用者通常使用这种药物来提供性能提升和应对不同领域的问题。建议正确告知使用者甲基苯丙胺的情况，教授有效的戒断应对方法，并开展供应预防研究。
这是首次揭示人们使用甲基苯丙胺原因的系统文献综述。揭示这些原因在干预（基本、初级、二级和三级保护）策略方面非常重要。
