    Development of public stigma scales on alcohol use disorder and substance use disorder
    Atlam, D; Kayli, DS; Durusoy, R
    Different attitudes toward alcohol use disorder (AUD) and substance use disorders (SUD) require different evaluation. We aimed to develop and validate two measurement tools that evaluate the public stigma in terms of the stigma model: Public Stigma toward Alcohol Use Disorder Scale (PS-AUDS) and Public Stigma toward Substance Use Disorder Scale (PS-SUDS). The study was conducted with 503 individuals from Turkey. The 20 item- PS-AUDS explained 67.6% of the total variance. The 23 item -PS-SUDS explained 68.7% of the total variance. Cronbach alpha values of the scales were between .93 and .96. Results showed that the scales are valid and reliable.

    Atlam, DH; Kayli, DS; Göven, BA
    ObjectivesWe determine the factors related to the attitudes toward substance users and how these factors predict attitudes.MethodsThe research was a field study. The control variables were gender and occupation. Health workers, teachers, prison guards, shopkeepers, university students, bartenders, and professional athletes were chosen by lottery method of simple random sampling. 350 people were reached. Fagerstrom Nicotine Dependence Test, Addiction Profile Index Risk Scanning Scale-Alcohol, and Addictive Material Attitude Scale were used. T-test, ANOVA, Bonferroni post hoc test, analysis of effect size, and linear regression model were used.ResultsGender (1%), marital status (2%), residence (4%), occupation (9%), NUD (2%), risky alcohol use (12%), having people with AUD in the social circle (1%), having a substance user in the social circle (20%), being in a substance use environment (16%); neighborhood characteristics as crime (9%), drug use (5%), illicit drug selling (7%) were found predictors of the attitude.ConclusionsDemographical factors like being single, being a bartender, living with friends; substance-related risk factors; neighborhood characteristics like high crime, substance use, and illicit drug selling were predictors of positive attitude. Identifying the factors explaining the positive attitude will guide the determination of prevention and protection programs for society.

    An Analysis about Studies Conducted on Addiction Field with Methods of Qualitative and Mixed Patterns in Turkey
    Acar, S; Kayli, DS
    The number of studies carried out about addiction increases day by day. It can be observed that academic studies with qualitative and mixed methods are fewer than studies with quantitative methods. The main purpose of this study is to determine the status of qualitative and mixed-method research in which in-depth answers to the questions of why and how are searched and to reveal the place of addiction in interdisciplinary studies. Research in our country related to tobacco, alcohol, and substance addiction conducted with qualitative and mixed methods was examined. Studies were investigated through the Google Academic and Council of Higher Education Thesis Center without any date limitation. The studies were determined between 2007 to 2020 and accessible studies were examined. After a descriptive analysis of the data, content analysis was used for the determined themes. 53 qualitative and mixed patterned studies are carried out in the databases between 20072020 and the highest number of studies were conducted in 2019. Qualitative patterns were used more than mixed patterns. It is seen that the studies are intense in the fields of social sciences. Studies are similar about research design, sampling, sample groups, data collection, and analysis methods included in the sample. It can be said that an interdisciplinary approach is important to examine studies on addiction from a biopsychosocial perspective. Also, it may be suggested to encourage qualitative and mixed-patterned research in the academic field to contribute to the field of addiction.

    Probation Service Systems in Turkey and Several Countries: A Comparative Study in the Context of Substance Misuse
    Altin, D; Kayli, DS; Yararbas, G
    Probation services are the leading organization among basic institutions supervising legal consequences of substance misuse. This system is applied in many European countries for hundreds of years while Turkey has a relatively newer system, starting from 2005, compared to more developed countries. This study is a narrative review on probation services including comparison of probation systems in different countries as well as literature findings of several studies on probation due to substance misuse. In this study, it is aimed to discuss probation services in different countries in the world in a comparative way in terms of scope, history, institutional structure, and psychosocial interventions; probation work in prison services; victim services, volunteer workers, pre-sentence reports, victim-offender mediation, in-service trainings, and specialized drug courts within probation system since there are similarities and differences which can be classified under those headings between Turkey and other countries. The difficulty in drawing firm conclusions for people under community supervision is illustrated in studies on treatment for substance misuse. It is seen that there are many similarities and differences also in probation systems in different countries. Probation services are important contact points for substance users with several services provided. It is also stated that probation services are increasingly involved in measures such as drug/alcohol treatment.

    A Comparison of Smokers, Non-Smokers, and Those Undergoing Treatment in Terms of Attitudes on Coping with Stress and Psychological Resilience
    Acar, S; Kayli, DS; Yararbas, G
    This study compares the attitudes on resilience and coping with stress of smokers, non-smokers, and those undergoing smoking-cessation treatment. This study involves three study groups: 116 people who applied to the Institute on Drug Abuse, Toxicology, and Pharmaceutical Science Smoking Cessation Polyclinic in Ege university to stop smoking, 110 smokers, and 121 non-smokers. The individual information form has been prepared in order to measure the variables of gender, age, and education level. In addition to the individual information form, the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence, the Brief Coping Styles Inventory (Brief COPE), and the Resilience Scale for Adults have been used. The Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whimey U tests have been utilized in addition to descriptive statistics in analyzing the obtained data. Based on multiple comparisons among the three groups, significant differences among the groups have been obtained in certain sub-dimensions for the variables in coping strategies and resilience, as well as significant differences between smokers and the other groups in terms of their levels of resilience.
