Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep01:24

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

330
Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.
Understanding the concepts of physical dependence,...

Drug Dependence01:17

Drug Dependence

1.5K
Medications are typically administered to achieve therapeutic effects. Some drugs can modify an individual's mood and perception, frequently resulting in various enjoyable experiences. However, this can result in drug dependency, a condition marked by continuous drug use despite potential negative consequences. Drug dependency primarily falls into two categories: psychological and physical dependence. Psychological dependence occurs when the pleasurable feelings induced by the drug...

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

1.0K
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

Classification of Illness

The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe...

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia01:29

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia

387
Schizophrenia, a complex psychiatric disorder, has been historically misunderstood. Early psychological theories attributed its origins to childhood trauma and unresponsive parenting. However, contemporary research largely rejects these notions, favoring the vulnerability-stress hypothesis. This model proposes that individuals with a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia may develop the disorder following exposure to significant environmental stressors. Notably, studies on high-risk...

Real-World Application of Classical Conditioning01:15

Real-World Application of Classical Conditioning

1.1K
Classical conditioning not only includes the initial pairing of stimuli but also extends to more complex forms, such as higher-order conditioning. Higher-order conditioning involves creating associations beyond the primary conditioned stimulus, resulting in a chain of conditioned responses.
Higher-order, or second-order, conditioning occurs when a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an already established conditioned stimulus through repeated pairings. For instance, if a dog has been...

Area of Science:

  • Addiction Medicine
  • Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Relapse is a common concept in addiction literature.
  • Current definitions of relapse lack standardization, leading to confusion, inconsistency, and stigma.
  • A clear, comprehensive definition of relapse is needed for effective addiction treatment and research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To clarify the meaning of relapse in the context of substance use.
  • To develop a comprehensive, standardized definition of relapse using concept analysis.
  • To identify key attributes, antecedents, and consequences of relapse.

Main Methods:

  • Concept analysis using Walker and Avant's method.
  • Literature search across CINAHL, PsychINFO, and PubMed databases.
  • Identification and synthesis of key attributes defining relapse.

Main Results:

  • Three core attributes of relapse were identified: interruption of abstinence, vulnerability to substance-related cues/behaviors, and transition to progression or regression.
  • A conceptual model of relapse was constructed, defining it as a transition in recovery, prompted by a return to substance use despite the intention to abstain.
  • Antecedents and consequences of relapse attributes were detailed.

Conclusions:

  • A standardized definition of relapse is crucial for minimizing confusion, inconsistency, and stigma in addiction.
  • This comprehensive definition aids in developing relapse-sensitive care, accurate assessment, and evaluation methods.
  • Improved understanding of relapse supports better patient outcomes and reduces societal stigma.
