Abstract: (294 Views)
Background: Substance dependence, and especially methamphetamine, predisposes impulsivity due to its impact on cognitive structure (including planning, flexibility and attention). Therefore, investigating and comparing the dimensions of impulsivity in different groups of drug users is an inevitable necessity to fit the interventions.
Aims: This study aimed to compare the dimensions of cognitive, motor impulsivity and non-planning in patients with methamphetamine and non-dependent individuals referred to addiction treatment clinic in Shiraz.
Methods: The research is applied in terms of purpose and a causal-comparative study in terms of methodology. The statistical population of this study was men dependent on methamphetamine who referred to addiction treatment centers in Shiraz in 1400. Using purposive sampling, 30 methamphetamine users and 30 normal individuals were matched in terms of age, gender and education. To collect data, Barratt impulsiveness scale (Patton, and et al., 1995) was used. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS.27 software and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA).
Results: The results of multivariate analysis of variance showed that there is a difference between patients with methamphetamine and non-consumer group in impulsivity dimensions, non-planning, motor impulsivity and total score of impulsivities (P<0.001). In other words, methamphetamine users had higher scores in impulsivity, non-planning, motor impulsivity and total score of impulsivity. Also, there is no difference between users and non-users in cognitive impulsivity.
Conclusion: According to these results, it can be concluded that impulsivity can be effective in onset, continuity and relapse after abstinence from drug use and drug and psychological interventions should facilitate impulsivity as a construct and focus on drug use.
