Reasons of consumption of narcotic drugs at medical high schools
CANDROVÁ, Eliška
Taking drugs is not a problem only in the Czech Republic, but it is a worldwide issue. This conduct leads to the disruption of health and life values of an individual and the whole society. Taking drugs affects biological, psychological and social spheres not only at the time when an adolescent leads a risky way of life, but also in the future, when he/she must bear the consequences of his/her behavior. According to prominent authors dealing with the issue of the use of narcotic and psychotropic substances one of the stated reasons is neuro-psychological stress. This type of stress is more evident in students of secondary nursing schools than in other helping professions. The study includes a theoretical section, in which adolescence is characterized, the factors leading to addiction and the most common reasons for taking drugs are described. Individual narcotic and psychotropic substances are characterized in detail and statistical evaluation of their use is given. Stress and stress situations and their impact on drug use are discussed. Mental hygiene and relaxation are also included. In the practical part the objectives are set, the course of my own research and also discussions with the authors from which I drew information are described. Data were collected by means of quantitative research. The method of questioning, the anonymous questionnaire technique was used. On that basis the predetermined hypotheses were verified or falsified. Students were interviewed in the school in the presence of administrators, with exclusion of teachers and others with a similar authority who could affect the validity of collected data. The research objective was to survey the use of addictive drug in secondary nursing schools. Specifically, what narcotic drugs the students use, with what frequency, in what manner and what are the reasons for doing so. The research shows that students of secondary nursing schools are mostly stressed psychologically. These students drink more alcohol, use more tobacco products and drugs than other students. The results of the study can be used in practice, for the purposes of additional research and awareness for the professional and general public.
