| Sažetak | Prema definiciji SZO ovisnost o drogama je duševno, a ponekad i tjelesno stanje koje nastaje međudjelovanjem živog organizma i sredstva ovisnosti, a karakteriziraju ga promjene ponašanja i druge reakcije koje uvijek uključuju neodgodivu prisilu za povremenim ili redovitim uzimanjem sredstva ovisnosti, bilo zbog njegovih poželjnih učinaka, bilo da se izbjegnu patnje koje će se javiti ako se s uzimanjem prekine.
Nesigurne ličnosti, emocionalne nezrele osobe, osobe koje ne podnose autoritet, koje ne vide svoje mjesto u svijetu, osobe koje imaju probleme prilagodbe te osobe koje su sklone regresivnim oblicima ponašanja češće konzumiraju drogu.
Droga sve više postaje problem adolescenata. Prema istraživanju, više od 50% tinejđera eksperimentiralo je s drogom najčešće zbog znatiželje i utjecaja okoline.
Droge se mogu podijeliti u tri glavne kategorije prema svome djelovanju: tvari s umirujućim učinkom ( heroin ), tvari koje imaju stimulirajući učinak na živčani sustav ( kokain, kanabis.. ) i tvari koje imaju halucinirajući učinak ( LSD, ecstasy ).
Zlouporaba droga predstavlja jedan od vodećih problema suvremenog društva i sve je više u porastu. Problem zlouporabe i ovisnosti o drogama jedan je od 20 najznačajnijih čimbenika rizika za obolijevanje na globalnoj razini. Intravenski ovisnici su izloženi povećanom riziku obolijevanja od zaraznih bolesti poput HIV-a, hepatitisa i tuberkuloze.
U današnje doba sve je više na tržištu i tzv. „novih droga“. Njih definiramo kao mješavine bilja natopljene psihoaktivnim supstancama, a dostupne su preko interneta. Prodaju se kao osvježivači prostora pod raznim marketinškim imenima – Galaxy, Atomi, Vertex, Bud Factory.
Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati znanja, stavove i mišljenja populacije o drogi, dostupnosti droge, razlogu konzumacije, vlastitom iskustvu vezanom uz konzumiranje droge. Drugi dio ankete odnosio se na ispitivanje o marihuani, prvenstveno osoba koje su konzumirale tu psihoaktivnu tvar.
Korištena je anonimna anketa koja se sastojala od 36 pitanja. Pitanja se odnose na sociodemografska obilježja, ispituje se vlastito iskustvo s drogama, vrijeme prvog konzumiranja, razlog konzumiranja, dostupnost droge. Također se ispitivao njihov stav i razmišljanja o drogi. Zadnji dio ankete odnosi se na ispitivanje o marihuani, prvenstveno osoba koje su ju konzumirale.
Istraživanjem se može zaključiti kako je populacija u velikoj mjeri upoznata s konzumiranjem droge. Oni koji su konzumirali drogu većinom su to probali u mladosti, a najčešći razlog tome bila je znatiželja i utjecaj okoline. Također, većina njih misli da je droga lako dostupna i štetna za zdravlje te da mladi nemaju dovoljno informacija o mogućim štetnim posljedicama konzumiranja droge. |
| Sažetak (engleski) | According to the WHO definition, drug addiction is a mental and sometimes physical condition that results from the interaction of a living organism and addictive substance, characterized by behavioral changes and other reactions that always involve the urgent compulsion to use the addictive substance occasionally or regularly, either because of its desirable effects, or to avoid the suffering that would occur if it was discontinued.
Insecure personalities, emotionally immature people, people who do not tolerate authority, who do not see their place in the world, people who have problems adjusting, and people who are prone to regressive behaviors are more likely to consume drugs.
Drugs are increasingly becoming a problem for adolescents. According to research, more than 50% of teenagers experimented with drugs most often because of curiosity and influence of the surroundings.
Drugs can be divided into three main categories according to their effect: substances with a calming effect (heroin), substances having a stimulating effect on the nervous system (cocaine, cannabis ..) and substances having a hallucinating effect (LSD, ecstasy).
Drug abuse is one of the leading problems of modern society and is on the rise. The problem of substance abuse and drug addiction is one of the 20 most significant risk factors for disease globally. Intravenous addicts are at increased risk of developing infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis and tuberculosis.
Nowadays, there is more and more so-called "new drugs" on the market. We define them as mixtures of herbs soaked in psychoactive substances and are available online. They are sold as space air fresheners under various marketing names - Galaxy, Atoms, Vertex, Bud Factory.
The aim of this research was to examine the knowledge, attitudes and opinions of the population about drugs, drug availability, consumption conversations, and their own experience related to drug use. The second part of the survey relates to the testing of marijuana, primarily by a person who consumed the psychoactive substance.
An anonymous survey consisting of 36 questions was used. The questions relate to sociodemographic characteristics, examining one's own experience with drugs, time of first consumption, reason for consumption, availability of drugs. Their attitude and thoughts about the drug were also questioned. The last part of the survey is about marijuana testing, primarily by people who consumed it.
The study concludes that the population is largely familiar with drug use. Those who used the drug mostly tried it at a young age, and the most common reason for this was the curiosity and influence of the surroundings. Also, most of them think that the drugs are easily accessible and harmful to health and that young people do not have enough information about the possible harmful effects of drug use. |
