Abstract(s)
O principal objetivo deste estudo (exploratório) prendeu-se com a investigação do nível de Qualidade de Vida e de Bem-Estar Psicológico, em sujeitos dependentes de opiáceos, que atualmente frequentem um programa de terapêutica de substituição, por metadona ou buprenorfina. Ambas as terapêuticas de substituição permitem que o heroinodependente cesse os consumos ou reduza os riscos, de forma a promover o uso controlado da substância, conseguindo assim passar de hábitos de consumo perniciosos ao uso com menos riscos.
No decorrer desta investigação valorizaram-se alguns aspetos sociodemográficos dos participantes da nossa amostra, nomeadamente: género, idade, estado civil, local (meio) de residência, número de elementos do agregado familiar, nível de ensino, situação profissional, substâncias com que iniciou os consumos, ambiente do primeiro consumo, o facto de estar acompanhado ou não no primeiro consumo, motivos para cessar os consumos, tratamento farmacológico atual e, finalmente, tratamento psicossocial. Esta investigação consistiu na aplicação no questionário de autorresposta, sendo ele constituído pela seção dos dados sociodemográficos, o World Health Organization Quality of Life – Bref (WHOQOL-Bref) e a Escala de Medida de Manifestação de Bem-Estar Psicológico (EMMBEP). Assim, contou-se com uma amostra de 55 participantes, maioritariamente do género masculino, com uma faixa etária entre os 25 e os 63 anos e com uma idade média de 40,98 anos. Uma parte significativa da amostra concluiu o ensino obrigatório, atualmente encontra-se empregada, reside em meio urbano, é solteira, iniciou os consumos com THC, num ambiente desprotegido e acompanhada; No que concerne aos consumos atuais, mais de metade da amostra menciona consumir mais que uma substância (politoxicomania), cessou os consumos devido a problemas pessoais, familiares e financeiros, atualmente encontra-se num programa de metadona e frequenta tratamentos de foro psicossocial.
