Abstract

Introduction: Alcohol and psychoactive substance use and their effects are an important issue among adolescents and young adults. Different results have been reported about the frequency of alcohol and psychoactive substance use among university students in studies conducted both in Turkey and in different places worldwide. Methods: The frequency of alcohol and psychoactive substance use among Trakya University students (n=1385) and the related parameters were studied cross-sectionally using a self-reporting questionnaire. Results: Alcohol was the most common substance used (30%), followed by tobacco (29.9%) and marijuana (3.1%). The frequency of alcohol and psychoactive substance use was found to be higher among males with higher amounts of pocket money, whose parents experienced more conflict in their relationship, and who belong to families with a higher education and income level. Conclusion: The frequency of alcohol and psychoactive substance use among Trakya University students was found to be lower than other regions in Turkey and particularly lower than the levels reported in studies conducted in other countries.

Özet

Amaç: Ergenler ve genç erişkinlerde alkol ve psikoaktif madde kullanı- mı ve sonuçları önemli bir sorundur. Üniversite öğrencilerinde alkol ve psikoaktif madde kullanım sıklığı ile ilgili hem ülkemizin hem de dünyanın değişik bölgelerinde yapılmış çalışmalarda farklı sonuçlar bildirilmektedir. Yöntem: Trakya Üniversitesi öğrencilerinde (n=1385) kesitsel olarak alkol ve psikoaktif madde kullanım sıklığı ve ilişkili parametreler araştırılmış- tır. Özbildirimle doldurulmuş bir anket formu uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Alkol en fazla kullanılan madde (%30) iken, sigara (%29,9) ve esrar (%3,1) onu takip etmekteydi. Erkeklerde, ailesinin eğitim düzeyi ve gelir düzeyi yüksek olanlarda, harçlığı yüksek olanlarda, anne babası birbiriyle anlaşamayan yada boşanmış olanlarda alkol ve psikoaktif madde kullanım sıklığı daha fazla bulundu. Sonuç: Trakya Üniversitesi öğrencilerinde psikoaktif madde kullanım sıklığı ülkemizin diğer bölgelerinde ve özellikle de diğer ülkelerde yapılan çalışmalarda belirtilenlere göre daha düşük bulunmuştur.
