Emotion regulation and quality of life in consumption of cocaine and amphetamines : Results of an online survey

Der Nervenarzt
S Lehmberg, M Soyka

Abstract

The online study presented surveyed occasional users, high-risk users and non-consumers of psychotropic substances for relationships between consumer type and emotion regulation (ER), health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and coping strategies. A total of 199 people participated in the survey. The sample was split into three groups depending on a substance list and a detailed questionnaire regarding the consumption habits: 28 individuals had no illicit drug experience, 127 were occasional users and 44 frequent (high-risk) users. The sample set was tested using the (1) emotion regulation inventory, (2) the coping inventory for stressful situations and (3) the medical outcomes study (MOS) 36-item short-form health survey. Regarding ER the occasional users showed no significant differences to the two reference groups, except for the scale of re-evaluation where the high-risk consumers scored higher than the occasional users. Regarding HRQOL no significant differences were observed between the three groups; however, significant differences were observed between persons with strong and weak physical and mental HRQOL scores and satisfaction with own emotion regulation. The search for predictors showed a significant predictive value ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
