“…Social workers are especially qualified to assess and meet the bio-psycho-social-spiritual needs of young adults with life-threatening illnesses and their families that points them to be recruited into health care teams (Beerbower et al, 2018). Spirituality was one of the predictors of lower alcohol and other substance use in community samples of adolescents and young adults (Burgess et al, 2021).…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to make an adaptation of the Spirituality Measurement Scale into Turkish to evaluate the spirituality of clients for social workers. Methods: A total of 385 students from the Department of Social Work at Ankara University, were included in the research. The online survey method was used as a data collection method. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a 5-factor model with 38 items similar to the original study. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found as 0.919 and test-retest reliability was 0.868 in this study. Also, concurrent validity analysis results confirmed that higher spirituality is associated with more positive life orientation and higher life satisfaction. Discussion: This study suggests that the Turkish Spirituality Measurement Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool to be used in the social work field. Spirituality can be evaluated in the field of mental health in youth welfare.

“…It is also established that people with chronic illnesses who develop substance misuse are at risk for poor clinical outcomes; in patients with respiratory diseases, both alcohol and opiate misuse have been linked to an increase in symptoms, decreased adherence to medications, and higher risk of poor pulmonary‐specific outcomes 16–20 . Despite the implications of substance misuse for patients with respiratory disorders, the prevalence and impact in people with CF has been minimally studied 5,21–26 . Accordingly, the CF Foundation (CFF) has designated improving our understanding of mental health comorbidities beyond depression and anxiety—specifically including substance misuse—as a key area of focus for CF mental health research 8 …”

BackgroundInternational consensus statements on depression and anxiety in adolescents and adults with cystic fibrosis (awCF) recommend assessment for comorbid substance misuse. However, at CF centers, the frequency and impact of substance misuse have not been well characterized, and best practices for prevention, identification, and evidence‐based treatment have not been routinely implemented.MethodsMedical records of 148 awCF over 3 years were reviewed to determine the prevalence of substance misuse (alcohol or opiates) and its relationship with clinical variables and healthcare utilization. Independent sample t test for continuous outcomes and χ2 test for binary outcomes were used to compare groups with and without substance misuse.ResultsSubstance misuse was documented in 28 (19%) awCF, equally distributed between alcohol (n = 13) and opiates (n = 15). Adults with substance misuse were more likely to be male. The prevalence of diagnosed anxiety and depression did not differ significantly between groups, but those with substance misuse had more severe anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder‐7 Item [GAD‐7]: 10.0 ± 6.1 vs. 3.3 ± 4.4; p < 0.001) and depressive symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire‐9: 10.4 ± 6.5 vs. 4.0 ± 4.8; p < 0.001). Adults with substance misuse had higher annual rates of missed outpatient CF visits, more frequent “sick” visits, more frequent and longer hospitalizations, and a higher mortality rate.ConclusionsIn awCF, substance misuse is common and associated with adverse indicators of emotional and physical health, including via proxy of service utilization, suggesting that systematic approaches to addressing substance misuse in CF clinics should be considered. Prospective, longitudinal study is warranted to elucidate the complex relationships between depression, anxiety, substance misuse, and health outcomes in individuals with CF.
