Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep01:24

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

235
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

1.2K
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

768
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...

Factors Affecting Drug Response: Overview

2.5K
When it comes to infants and young children, they are typically administered smaller doses of medication in comparison to adults. This is primarily because their organ functions still need to fully develop, meaning their bodies are not as efficient at metabolizing or eliminating drugs. Additionally, their blood-brain barrier is more permeable than in adults. As a result, high concentrations of drugs can easily penetrate the central nervous system (CNS), potentially leading to neurological...

CNS Depressants: Alcohol and Nicotine

402
Ethanol, a clear colorless alcohol, has been consumed by humans for millennia, but its effects on the body are far from benign. At lower doses, it induces decreased inhibitions and loquaciousness, leading to its social appeal. However, it can cause severe consequences at higher doses, such as coma and respiratory depression, due to its zero-order elimination kinetics. Chronic ethanol abuse wreaks havoc on multiple organ systems, particularly the CNS and the liver. Abrupt cessation of ethanol...

Stress and Mental Health01:30

Stress and Mental Health

233
Chronic stress profoundly affects mental health, significantly influencing mood, behavior, and overall quality of life. Research closely links chronic stress with mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Ongoing exposure to stress can lead to physiological and psychological changes, initiating a cycle of emotional distress and maladaptive coping mechanisms.
Individuals with depression often experience challenges in both their personal and professional...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Psychology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Illicit substance use among students is linked to adverse mental and physical health outcomes.
  • Understanding student motivations is crucial for effective interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify factors influencing students' motivation to reduce or cease illicit substance use.
  • To inform the development of student-centered behavior change interventions for substance use.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive scoping review was conducted.
  • Searched eight databases in March 2021 using keywords related to students, illicit substance use, and motivations.
  • Included 86 research articles reporting on student substance use and reasons for use.

Main Results:

  • Only three studies met the inclusion criteria for qualitative synthesis.
  • Most studies focused on motives for complete abstinence, not reduction of current use patterns.
  • Limited research exists on motivations for decreasing or stopping illicit substance use among students.

Conclusions:

  • Few studies explore student motivations for reducing substance use.
  • Social context, impact on relationships, and family/friend influence are promising areas for future research.
  • Further investigation into these factors can guide targeted interventions for student substance use behavior change.
