SIR-PLLA stents showed comparable luminal diameter compared to metal stents, so incorporating sirolimus could reduce the inflammatory and neointimal response to PLLA stents. These findings need to be assessed with longer follow-up to confirm maintenance of efficacy.
Biodegradable PLLA stents showed higher thrombogenicity and reduced patency compared to metal stents during early follow-up. Although ASA and clopidogrel prevented thrombotic occlusion, the increased inflammatory response and neointima formation remain major concerns of PLLA stents. A solution to this problem might be the incorporation of anti-inflammatory drugs into the PLLA stent.
A structured telephone aftercare proves to be an effective intervention for women, which stabilizes the abstinence rate following a clinic based smoking cessation program.
ZusammenfassungUm angemessene Hilfsangebote für Eltern mit Suchterkrankungen entwickeln zu können, ist es notwendig, die besonderen Schwierigkeiten dieser Zielgruppe zu kennen. Daher wurden im Rahmen der vorliegenden Studie die spezifischen Belastungen in der Kindererziehung von substanzabhängigen Müttern ermittelt und mit denen von nicht suchtbelasteten Müttern verglichen. Im Einzelnen wurde das Stresserleben von 51 alkoholabhängigen Müttern, 92 substituierten opiatabhängigen Müttern und 75 Müttern ohne Suchtprobleme anhand des "Parenting Stress Index" (PSI) von Abidin erfasst. Insgesamt zeigt sich eine beeindruckende ¾hnlichkeit im Belastungsmuster der alkohol-und der opiatabhängigen Müt-ter in Substitutionsbehandlung, die sich vor allem darin ausdrückt, dass suchtkranke Frauen Schwierigkeiten in der Erziehung eher auf eigene Probleme bzw. Defizite und weniger auf Eigenschaften oder Verhaltensweisen ihres Kindes zurückführen. Die Mütter mit Suchtstörung erleben ausgeprägte Zweifel an ihren erzieherischen Fähigkeiten und sind sozial isolierter und stärker als nicht suchtbelastete Mütter durch depressive Symptome und äu-ßere Lebensumstände belastet. Die Ergebnisse werden im Hinblick auf Implikationen für die Gestaltung entsprechender Interventionsangebote diskutiert.

AbstractIn order to develop well-suited intervention and support measures for addicted parents it is necessary to know the specific problems of this group very well. Therefore, in this study specific parental stressors of addicted mothers were investigated in depth. The stress factors of child rearing mothers with diagnoses of different AOD disorders were compared to those of mothers without AOD problems. In detail, parental stress was measured by applying Abidin's "Parenting Stress Index" (PSI) to 51 alcohol dependent mothers in inpatient treatment, 92 mothers in outpatient methadone maintenance treatment, and 75 mothers without AOD problems. All in all, the results show an astonishing similarity concerning amount and intensity of stress reported by alcohol and drug dependent mothers. Especially, self reported stress of feelings of inadequacy as mother was reported by both groups. Mothers with AOD problems seem to attribute higher rates of parenting stress to own problems and deficits and less to specific traits or behavioral problems of their child. Mothers with AOD problems report intensive doubts concerning their own parental competencies, are much more isolated, more depressed and strained by external circumstances of their living reality than mothers without AOD problems. The results are finally discussed concerning their impact on treatment and intervention systems.
