Povezanost socijalne klime i preventivnog delovanja sa upotrebom alkohola i ilegalnih psihoaktivnih supstanci u studentskim domovima

Abstract

Uvod: Studentske prilike stanovanja, koje odlikuju manje kontrolisani uslovi i specifična socijalna klima, mogu doprineti upotrebi alkohola i ilegalnih psihoaktivnih supstanci u ovoj populaciji. Cilj: Cilj ovog istraživanja je da se utvrde različiti aspekti socijalne klime i načini preventivnog delovanja u studentskim domovima, kao i njihova povezanost sa učestalošću i karakteristikama upotrebe alkohola i ilegalnih psihoaktvinih supstanci. Metod: Stanovanje u studentskom domu u poslednjih godinu dana bio je uslov za uključivanje ispitanika u ovo istraživanje. Za potrebe istraživanja korišćen je upitnik Korovog instituta forma za studentske domove (Community College Form). Rezultati: Dobijeni rezultati pokazuju da više od 90% studenata ne zna da li postoje i smatra da ne postoje programi prevencije upotrebe alkohola i ilegalnih psihoaktivnih supstanci u studentskom domu u kom žive, da sami aktivno ne učestvuju u sprečavanju upotrebe ovih supstanci (92,38%), odnosno da atmosfera koja vlada u domu podstiče upotrebu alkohola (85,2%). Dalja analiza rezultata pokazala je da je učestalost upotrebe alkohola i ilegalnih psihoaktivnih supstanci u vezi sa pojedinim aspektima socijalne klime i preventivnog delovanja. Zaključak: Studija pokazuje da uslovi koji odlikuju život u studentskom domu pogoduju upotrebi alkohola i psihoaktivnih supstanci. Izmenom socijalne klime moguće je uticati na ustaljene navike kod studenata u studentskom domu.

Introduction: Students’ living situation, characterized by less controlled environment and a specific social climate, may play a role in drinking habits and other illegal psychoactive substances of those students. Aim: Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate various aspects of the social climate and prevention strategies in student dormitories, as well as their relation to the frequency and characteristics of alcohol use and illegal psychoactive substances. Method: Living in a student dormitory, for at least one year, was a condition for including respondents in this study. The questionnaire of the Core Institute, the Community College Form, was used for the purpose of the study. Results: The results show that more than 90% of students do not know whether there are prevention programs addressing the use of alcohol and illegal psychoactive substances in student residence halls, 92.38% do not actively participate in preventing the use of these substances, 85.2% think that the atmosphere in student residence halls encourages the use of alcohol. Further analysis of these results showed that the frequency of using alcohol and illegal psychoactive substances is related to certain aspects of the social climate and preventive action. Conclusion: The study implies that the environment of residence halls can lead to increased students’ alcohol and illegal psychoactive substance use. Changing the social climate might have an impact on residential students’ habits.
