Background

Complicated grief causes clearly functional disor-

ders, and grief signs lasts at least a month after six months going

through unfortunate incident. Researches about grief and compli-

cated grief, requires a deeper understanding in etiology of creation

and several therapeutic procedures. In this study we want to

evaluate the relationship between the use of methadone and com-

plicated grief.

Methods

Among methadone consumers in cessation drug cen-

ters in Mashhad in 2015 a sample of 285 person’s were chosen

randomly to answer ICG test (Inventory of Complicated Grief) and

demographic questionnaire. Analysis performed by SPSS18.

Findings

The results showed that 35% of methadone consumers

had grief. Complicated grief is more frequent in men than women

(

P

= 0.01), and more in middle-aged people than the other ages

(

P

= 0.002). The most frequent complicated grief among those with

postgraduate diploma and the lowest rate is among MA (

P

= 0.003).

People who have lost their first-grade relatives have more com-

plicated grief than those who lost the other ones (

P

= 0.000). The

individuals who have lost someone due to disease are more fre-

quent than those who have lost someone suddenly (

P

= 0.00).

Among the ICG test questions, hallucinations (seeing deceased) has

the lowest frequency, and tendency to the places and things related

to the deceased, has the greatest frequency.

Conclusion

Finding of this research showed that, Men, people

with postgraduate diploma and people who have lost their first-

grade relatives have experienced more complicated grief. Gender

of deceased and marital status do not effect on the frequency of

complicated grief.

Introduction

Performed studies indicate association between

drug abuse and other mental disorders. Mental disorders could be

effective in response to treatment and also, accession of recurrence

process in addiction treatment course.

Methods and materials

This research is causal – comparative and

of cross-sectional type was performed in 2014 on 200 drug abusers

under methadone maintenance treatment (in two groups, with

relapse in treatment process and without relapse) in drug reha-

bilitation centers of Kerman city. Questionnaire which includes

demographic features and BPRS test was completed. Data were

processed by suitable statistical methods via SPSS20 and SAS9.1

software.

Findings

Results obtained from the research showed that the

acquired scores ´average from BPRS test is more in relapsing

group (

P

< 0.0001). Subscales of somatic concern (

P

= 0.030),

anxiety (

P

< 0.0001), depressive mood (

P

< 0.0001), guilt feeling

(

P

= 0.003), hostility (

P

< 0.0001), grandiosity(

P

= 0.008), suspicious-

ness (

P

= 0.024), hallucination (

P

= 0.009), blunted affect (

P

= 0.030),

tension (

P

= 0.012), uncooperativeness (

P

= 0.011), excitement

(

P

= 0.038) and emotional withdrawal (

P

= 0.019) in two abuser

groups had significant difference (more in relapsing group). No

significant difference was observed between subscales of unusual

thought content, disorientation, conceptual disorganization, man-

nerism and posturing and motor retardation in two groups

(

P

> 0.05). In patients with more relapse in treatment process, score

of BPRS is higher (

P

< 0.0001).

Conclusion

Findings of this study showed that intensity of psychi-

atric disorders in relapsing drug users is more than non-relapsing

users and with growth of disorders intensity, the number of recur-

rence increases.

Introduction

Changing cultural values and increasing economic

stress are leading to initiation into substance use. Despite religious

and legal constraints onMuslims against the consumption of drugs,

drug addiction is a widespread problem and is destroying the lives

of many individuals and families, in Tunisia.

Objectives

To examine the socio-demographic characteristics of

Tunisian addicts and to identify the drugs commonly used.

Methods

This was a cross-sectional study, which included 200

patients at the addiction treatment center “Aide et Ecoute” in Sfax

(Tunisia). The survey was conducted during the month of January

to September 2014.

Results

Only males were found to get treatment in the addiction

center for various addictions. The mean age was 33.32 years and

the mean age for starting substance use was 17.30 years. More

than half (65.9%) were not married and 59.5% had involvement

with criminal justice. Substance dependence was commonly seen

in poor and middle socioeconomic class. The most common sub-

stance used was buprenorphine (34.8%). There was a significant

relation between buprenorphine consumption and immigration

(

P

= 0.013). Peer pressure was one of the most important factors

for trial of substance in our study.

Conclusion

As the mean age of initiation of substance abuse was

early twenties, in liaison with schools and colleges, some recre-

ational activities can be generated to prevent diversion of youth

towards the devil of drug abuse.
