Objective: This research aimed to determine the relationship between the adolescents’ perceived parental attitudes and substance use risk.

Methods: This study employed a descriptive research design. A total of 36 schools were divided into nine clusters based on the neighborhood in which they were located. Seventh-grade students studying in these nine schools were included in the sample. The study sample consisted of 486 adolescents. Personal Information Form, Parental Attitude Scale (PAS), and Substance Use Risk Profile Scale (SURPS) were used.

Results: It was determined 52.0% of the participants in the study were female and their mean age was 13.0±0.36 (min: 12, max: 15). Adolescents’ responses to the PAS, 36.2% of the adolescents perceive their parents as authoritative, 22.4% as neglectful, 20.8% as indulgent, and 20.6% as authoritarian. The total SURPS score is 57.17±8.98. It was determined that adolescents scored above the mean in all four sub-dimensions of SURPS. Even a high sub-dimension indicates a risk for substance use. It was determined that the adolescents who perceive their parents as authoritative and indulgent have higher scores in total SURPS and its sub-dimensions: lack of self-contentment, and impulsivity when compared to those perceiving their parents as neglectful and authoritarian (P<.05).

Conclusion: It was determined that adolescents are at risk for substance use because it is assumed that the individual's risk of substance use increases when at least one of the subscale scores is high. In addition, adolescents who perceive their parents as authoritative and indulgent are at a higher risk in terms of substance use.

Adölesanların Algıladıkları Anne-Baba Tutumları ile Madde Kullanım Riski Arasındaki İlişki

Öz

Amaç: Bu araştırma, adölesanların algıladıkları anne-baba tutumlarının ile madde kullanım riski arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır.

Yöntemler: Bu araştırma tanımlayıcı tiptedir. Toplam 36 okul, bulundukları mahalleye göre dokuz kümeye ayrılmış, her kümeden bir okul seçilmiş ve bu dokuz okulda öğrenim gören yedinci sınıf öğrencileri örnekleme dahil edilmiştir. Çalışmanın örneklemini 486 ergen oluşturmuştur. Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Ebeveyn Tutum Ölçeği (PAÖ) ve Madde Kullanım Risk Profili Ölçeği (SURPS) kullanılmıştır. Veriler 2022 yılı Mart-Mayıs ayları arasında toplanmıştır.

Bulgular: Adölesanların %52,0’i kız olup, yaş ortalamaları 13,0±0,36’dır (min: 12, max:15). Adölesanların Anne-Baba Tutum Ölçeğine verdikleri yanıtlara göre, adölesanların %36,2'si ebeveynlerini demokratik, %22,4'ü ihmalkar, %20,8'i hoşgörülü ve %20,6'sı otoriter olarak algılamaktadır. Toplam madde kullanım risk profili ölçeği puanı 57,17±8,98'dir. Adölesanların madde kullanım risk profili ölçeğinin dört alt boyutunda da ortalamanın üzerinde puan aldıkları belirlenmiştir. Bir alt boyutun bile puan ortalamasının üzerinde olması madde kullanım riskinin olduğunu göstermektedir. Ebeveynlerini demokratik ve hoşgörülü olarak algılayan adölesanların, ebeveynlerini ihmalkar ve otoriter olarak algılayanlara kıyasla toplam madde kullanım risk profili ölçeği (KW:34,555) ve alt boyutları olan öz memnuniyetsizlik (KW:53.624) ve dürtüsellik (KW:23,934) puanlarının daha yüksek olduğu belirlendi (P<,05).

Sonuç: Madde kullanım risk profili ölçeğinin alt ölçek puanlarından en az birinin yüksek olması durumunda bireyin madde kullanma riskinin arttığı varsayıldığından adölesanların ortalamanın üzerinde puan aldığı dolayısıyla madde kullanımı açısından riskli oldukları belirlendi. Ebeveynlerini demokratik ve hoşgörülü olarak algılayanların madde kullanımı açısından daha yüksek risk altında olduğu belirlendi. Bu nedenle ergenlerin aileleri tarafından yakından izlenmesi gerektiği düşünülmektedir.
