Abstract

Istraživanjem su obuhvaćeni aktivni intravenski korisnici droga (ovisnici) s područja grada Zagreba i grada Zadra. Na uzorku od 300 ispitanika, aktivnih intravenskih korisnika droga, ispitane su i utvrđene socijalne determinante i odnos prema bolesti ovisnosti. Istraživanjem je utvrđeno da programi smanjenja šteta zlouporabe droga imaju utjecaj na promjenu zdravstvenog ponašanja aktivnih i. v. korisnika droga koje se iskazuje kao smanjenje učestalosti dijeljenja pribora za injiciranje droga, veća učestalost testiranja na hepatitis C, hepatitis B i HIV, te povećanom motivacijom razmišljanja o liječenju bolesti ovisnosti i zapošljavanju. Utvrđeno je i da i. v. ovisnici u Hrvatskoj često zamjensku terapiju uzimaju i. v. putem, a pri tome razvijaju ovisnost o intravenskom uzimanju supstanci – „iglomaniju”. Ispitanici su svoju bolest ovisnosti o drogama doživljavali i kao bolest uvjetovanu osobnim izborom načina (stila) života.
