Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the aggression and impulsivity in two different groups of men with alcohol or heroin dependency. Methods: Participants were consecutively admitted male alcohol (n=94) or heroin (n=78) dependent inpatients and healthy controls (n=63). Patients and healthy controls were investigated with the Buss– Perry Aggression Questionnaire and the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, version 11. Results: Aggression and impulsivity scores were higher among both the alcohol and the heroin dependent groups than the healthy controls. Verbal aggression was the only subscale, which did not show significant differences between groups. Severity of impulsivity and aggression discriminated both alcohol dependents and heroin dependents from healthy controls. When subscales of aggression and impulsivity were taken as independent variables, current age, hostility and motor impulsiveness discriminated alcohol dependents, whereas physical aggression and non-planning impulsiveness discriminated heroin dependents from healthy controls. Thus, although aggression and impulsivity did not discriminate alcohol and heroin dependents from each other, and both aggression and impulsivity discriminated these groups from healthy controls, different dimensions of aggression and impulsivity discriminated these groups from healthy controls. Our study sample being restricted to male treatment-seeking patients and the cross- sectional nature of the study,, which may interfere with the identification of causal relationships between impulsivity, aggression and substance dependency, must be taken into consideration, when assessing these results. Conclusion: The results suggest that both aggression and impulsivity are important constructs on which to focus in the treatment of substance dependents, but different dimensions might be the center of attention for patients with different substances of dependence.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı alkol ve eroin bağımlılığı olan iki ayrı grupta agresyon ve dürtüselliğin değerlendirilmesidir. Yöntem: Çalışmaya yatarak tedavi gören ardışık 94 alkol bağımlısı ve 78 eroin bağımlısı erkek hasta ile 63 sağlıklı kontrol alındı. Hastalar ve kontroller Buss-Perry Agresyon Ölçeği ve Barratt Dürtüsellik Ölçeği-11 ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Alkol ve eroin bağımlılarında dürtüsellik ve agresyon düzeyi kontrol grubundan daha yüksek saptandı. Gruplar arasında farklılık göstermeyen tek alt ölçek sözel agresyondu. Agresyon ve dürtüselliğin şiddeti hem alkol bağımlılarını hem de eroin bağımlılarını kontrol grubundan ayırt ediyordu. Agresyon ve dürtüselliğin alt ölçekleri bağımsız değişken olarak alındığında yaş, düşmanlık ve motor dürtüselliğin alkol bağımlılarını; fiziksel agresyon ve planlanmamış dürtüselliğinin eroin bağımlılarını kontrol grubundan ayırt ettiği görüldü. Agresyon ve dürtüsellik düzeyleri alkol ve eroin bağımlılarını birbiriden ayırt etmemekle birlikte alkol ve eroin bağımlılarında agresyon ve dürtüselliğin farklı boyutları kontrol grubundan ayırt ediciydi. Sonuçlar değerlendirilirken çalışma grubunun tedavi arayışındaki erkek hastalardan oluştuğu ve çalışmanın kesitsel yapısının dürtüsellik, agresyon ve bağımlılık arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisinin tanımlanmasını engelleyeceği dikkate alınmalıdır. Sonuç: Bulgular hem agresyon hem de dürtüselliğin madde bağımlılarının tedavisinde odaklanılması gereken önemli kavramlar olduğunu ve farklı madde bağımlılıklarında farklı alt boyutların dikkate alınması gerektiğini düşündürmektedir.
