Abstract

Objective: The prevalence of substance use and related disorders has been ever-increasing in Turkey and in the world. Probation system has been implemented in Turkey since the year 2006. The aims of this study are to examine the relationships between sociodemographic, clinical features, criminal records of individuals who have probation and treatment and to evaluate the results of the application. Methods: A hundred fourty five individuals who applied to the probation office were prospectively included in terms of their sociodemographic features, substance use, forensic medical features, and the psychiatric diagnosis. During the implementation of the probation system, substance level analysis in urine samples was carried out as three and six-visit programs. Results: Of the participants, 142 (97.9%) were male and 3 (2.1%) were female. In the study, it was observed that individuals were mostly male, single, aged between 18 and 30 years, had a low level of education and income, and used marijuana as a substance. History of multiple substance use was determined in 59.3% of the cases. Conclusion: It was concluded that individuals should be educated about the substance since primary school period and social awareness should be provided. In addition, individuals with a low educational level were more likely to commit crimes and attended the six-visit program. It was thought that both implemented programs were similarly efficient and these programs should be continued effectively. Finally, it was evaluated that better clinical results could be obtained if a detailed psychiatric examination was performed in individuals with multiple substance use.

Özet

Amaç: Türkiye ve dünyada madde kullanımı ve ilişkili bozuklukların yaygınlığı giderek artmaktadır. Türkiye’de 2006 yılından itibaren denetimli serbestlik (DS) sistemi uygulanmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, tedavi ve DS tedbiri uygulanan bireylerin sosyodemografik, klinik özellikleri ve suç kayıtları arasındaki ilişkileri incelemek ve uygulama sonuçlarını değerlendirmektir. Yöntem: Çalışmada DS birimine başvuran 145 birey sosyodemografik, madde kullanımı, adli tıbbi özellikleri ve psikiyatrik tanı varlığı açısından prospektif olarak incelendi. DS sisteminin uygulanması sırasında idrarda madde analizi üç ve altı başvurulu programlar halinde gerçekleştirildi. Bulgular: Katılımcıların 142’si (%97,9) erkek, 3’ü (%2,1) kadındı. Bireylerin çoğunlukla erkek, bekar, 18-30 yaşları arasında, düşük eğitim ve gelir düzeyine sahip olduğu ve madde olarak esrar kullandıkları görüldü. Olguların %59,3’ünün çoklu madde kullanım öyküsü olduğu belirlendi. Sonuç: Bireylere madde konusunda eğitimlerin ilköğretim döneminden itibaren verilmesi ve toplumsal farkındalığın sağlanması gerektiği düşünüldü. Ek olarak düşük eğitim düzeyine sahip bireylerin daha sık oranlarda suç işledikleri ve altı başvurulu programa katıldıkları gözlendi. Uygulanan her iki programın benzer verimlilikte olduğu görüldü ve bu programlara etkin bir şekilde devam edilmesi gerektiği düşünüldü. Son olarak çoklu madde kullanımı olan bireylerde ayrıntılı bir psikiyatrik muayene yapılırsa daha iyi klinik sonuçlar alınabileceği değerlendirilmiştir.
