背景:关于大麻使用动机的研究集中在年轻人身上。对在职成年人的动机知之甚少,包括工作如何发挥作用。这项研究旨在描述大麻的使用动机及其与工作的联系,并确定工人样本中与工作相关的动机的个人和工作相关性。
方法:国家,加拿大工人的横截面样本被问及他们使用大麻的情况。报告过去一年使用大麻的工人(n=589)被问及他们使用大麻的动机,以及每个动机是否与工作有关或帮助他们在工作中管理(即,与工作相关)。进行了多项逻辑回归分析,以估计个人和工作特征与工作相关的大麻使用动机之间的关联(无工作相关动机,<50%的动机与工作有关,≥50%的动机与工作相关)。
结果:用于松弛(59.3%),享受(47.2%),社会原因(35.3%),应付(35.1%),医疗原因(30.9%),睡眠(29.9%)是最常见的动机。近40%的受访者表示,他们使用大麻的一个或多个动机与工作有关,应对(19.9%)和放松(16.3%)最常报告为工作相关。年龄更小,一般健康状况较差,更大的工作压力,具有监督作用,危险工作与报告至少一些大麻使用动机与工作相关的可能性增加有关,而工作时间表和更高的饮酒频率与主要与工作相关的动机的几率降低有关。
结论:工人使用大麻的动机多种多样,并且经常与工作相关。有必要更多地关注工作在激励使用大麻方面的作用。
BACKGROUND: Research on cannabis use motives has focused on youth. Little is known about motives among working adults, including how work may play a role. This
study aimed to describe cannabis use motives and their connection to work, and identify the personal and work correlates of work-related motives among a sample of workers.
METHODS: A national, cross-sectional sample of Canadian workers were queried about their cannabis use. Workers reporting past-year cannabis use (n = 589) were asked their motives for using cannabis and whether each motive was related to work or helped them manage at work (i.e., work-related). Multinomial logistic regression analyses were conducted to estimate the associations of personal and work characteristics with work-related cannabis use motives (no work-related motives, < 50% of motives work-related, ≥ 50% of motives work-related).
RESULTS: Use for relaxation (59.3%), enjoyment (47.2%), social reasons (35.3%), coping (35.1%), medical reasons (30.9%), and sleep (29.9%) were the most common motives. Almost 40% of respondents reported one or more of their cannabis use motives were work-related, with coping (19.9%) and relaxation (16.3%) most commonly reported as work-related. Younger age, poorer general health, greater job stress, having a supervisory role, and hazardous work were associated with increased odds of reporting at least some cannabis use motives to be work-related, while work schedule and greater frequency of alcohol use were associated with reduced odds of motives being primarily work-related.
CONCLUSIONS: Cannabis use motives among workers are diverse and frequently associated with work. Greater attention to the role of work in motivating cannabis use is warranted.
