METHODS: Quantitative, observational, analytical cross-sectional study.
RESULTS: We included 310 students from 1 st to 9th semester of a Nursing programme from a private higher education institution in Bogotá. The prevalence of psychoactive substance use in the last year was 2.96% (95%CI, 1.36-5.54), with marijuana being the substance most used (55.55%). The prevalence of alcohol and cigarette use during the last 12 months was estimated at 86.64% (95%CI, 83.24-91.0) and 12.16% (95%CI, 8.43-15.88) respectively. A statistically significant association was found between the use of these substances: alcohol use was associated with cigarette use (OR = 3.22; P = 0.006) and smoking was associated with psychoactive substance use (OR = 15.4; P < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: Alcohol use increases the likelihood of smoking cigarettes, and this in turn increases the likelihood of psychoactive substance use, in this university population.
方法:定量,观察,分析性横断面研究。
结果:我们纳入了310名来自波哥大私立高等教育机构的护理课程第一至第九学期的学生。去年精神活性物质使用的患病率为2.96%(95CI,1.36-5.54),大麻是最常用的物质(55.55%)。在过去的12个月中,酒精和香烟使用的患病率分别估计为86.64%(95CI,83.24-91.0)和12.16%(95CI,8.43-15.88)。这些物质的使用具有统计学意义:饮酒与吸烟相关(OR=3.22;P=0.006),吸烟与精神活性物质的使用相关(OR=15.4;P<0.001)。
结论:饮酒会增加吸烟的可能性,这反过来又增加了使用精神活性物质的可能性,在这个大学人口中。
