Résumé
Cette étude est un suivi rétrospectif sur cinq ans qui examine les variations dans la consommation de substances psychoactives et les déterminants de ces variations. Il s’agit d’une recherche exploratoire auprès d’un sous-échantillon de 22 participants, sélectionnés à partir d’un échantillon initial de 197 patients, présentant à la fois des problèmes de consommation problématique de substances et de santé mentale. Au niveau quantitatif, la comparaison statistique entre les deux temps de mesure montre une amélioration de la consommation problématique d’alcool et de drogues et une absence de changement au niveau de l’état psychologique, de la santé, des relations familiales/interpersonnelles et de l’emploi. Au niveau qualitatif, l’analyse de la perspective subjective des participants indique que les deux principaux éléments de progression de la consommation sont les effets et la disponibilité des substances. Les principaux éléments de diminution de la consommation sont l’utilisation des services, des techniques personnelles mises au point par les participants, le réseau familial, les atteintes à la santé physique, le manque de ressources financières, les activités « occupationnelles » et un processus de maturation.
Abstract
This paper is a retrospective study with a five year follow-up which examines the variations in substance use and the determinants of these variations. This exploratory research studied a sub-sample of 22 participants, selected from an initial sample of 197 patients with concurrent substance use and other mental health disorders. At the quantitative level, the statistical analysis shows an improvement in the problematic use of alcohol and drugs but no change in psychological state, health, family and interpersonnals relations, as well as employment. At the qualitative level, the analysis of the participant’s subjective view indicates that the two main elements of progression in substance use are the effects and the availability of substances. The main elements of reduction in substance use are the use of services, the personal techniques developped by participants, the family network, physical health, lack of financial resources, “occupational” activities, and a process of maturation.
Resumen
Este estudio es un seguimiento retrospectivo de cinco años que examina las variaciones en el consumo de sustancias psicoactivas y las determinantes de estas variaciones. Se trata de una investigación exploratoria en una submuestra de 22 participantes, seleccionados a partir de una muestra inicial de 197 pacientes, que presentan a la vez problemas de salud mental y de consumo problemático de sustancias. A nivel cuantitativo, la comparación estadística entre los dos tiempos de medida muestra una mejora en el consumo problemático de alcohol y drogas, y una ausencia de cambio a nivel del estado psicológico, de la salud, de las relaciones familiares/interpersonales y del empleo. A nivel cualitativo, el análisis de la perspectiva subjetiva de los participantes indica que los dos principales elementos de progresión en el consumo son los efectos y la disponibilidad de las sustancias. Los principales elementos de disminución del consumo son la utilización de los servicios, las técnicas personales puestas a punto por los participantes, la red familiar, el perjuicio a la salud física, la falta de recursos económicos, las actividades “ocupacionales” y un proceso de maduración.
Resumo
Este estudo é um acompanhamento retrospectivo de cinco anos que examina as variações no consumo de substâncias psicoativas e os determinantes destas variações. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória junto a uma subamostragem de 22 participantes, selecionados a partir de uma amostragem inicial de 197 pacientes que apresentam ao mesmo tempo problemas de consumo de substâncias e de saúde mental. Ao nível quantitativo, a comparação estatística entre os dois tempos de medida demonstra uma redução do consumo problemático de álcool e de drogas com uma ausência de mudança no estado psicológico, na saúde, nas relações familiares e interpessoais e no emprego. Ao nível qualitativo, a análise da perspectiva subjetiva dos participantes indica que os dois principais elementos de progressão do consumo são os efeitos da acessibilidade das substâncias. Os principais elementos de diminuição do consumo são a utilização dos serviços, das técnicas pessoais criadas pelos participantes, a rede familiar, os problemas de saúde física, a falta de recursos financeiros, as atividades ocupacionais e um processo de maturidade.
