“…The Rosenberg self-esteem scale was used verbatim to examine features of anxiety, negative affect and happiness ( Richardson et al., 2009 ). Score was computed for each participant by summing up all items and a cut-off value of 15 was used to differentiate between low self-esteem and normal to high self-esteem ( Heidari and Ghodusi, 2016 ). A Cronbach alpha value of 0.623 was obtained for the current sample reflecting an acceptable reliability ( Wongpakaran and Wongpakaran, 2012 ).…”

Background Substance Use Disorder (SUD) places a heavy burden on societal and health systems given its association with high mortality and morbidity rates worldwide, including Mauritius. Illicit substances act as a positive reinforcement and stimulate addiction through its pleasure-seeking attributes. Aim This study focused on identifying the risk factors leading to SUD among Mauritian male addicts as well as examining the potency of those factors in SUD development. The study also aimed at determining the prevalence of relapse and its causation. Research setting A cross-sectional study was conducted over a period of six months using a sample of 180 male addicts registered in a public hospital. A questionnaire investigating dimensions such as risk factors, self-esteem and peer pressure was administered. Findings A high percentage of relapse was noted amongst users within the first year of abstinence. Majority of respondents originated from nuclear or single parents’ family and were deprived of adequate social supports given their marital status. 57.5% of participants had a positive family history of SUD. Cannabis was the most commonly abused substance and 76.2% of the addicts were introduced to drugs through curiosity. Transposing the results against the Gateway Drug Theory showed a constant progression from soft to hard drugs for male addicts, a trend which was consistent with literature. Lastly, a theoretical model was developed based on the strong statistical association found between impulsivity and reduced thought processes prior to relapse; data revealing increased impulsivity which is a common trait in antisocial personality disorder and borderline personality disorder as being largely responsible for relapse. Conclusion The study was successful in bringing out the most common risk factors of SUDs which are linked to low socioeconomic status. The inability of addicts to progress with their rehabilitation given the alarming 92% of relapse was related to social pressure as prime deterrent to successful remission. Programmes involving relapse prevention must implemented in the first year of abstinence to facilitate rehabilitation.

BackgroundDiabetes mellitus is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide. Diabetes is a chronic disease associated with micro- and macro-vascular complications and deterioration in general health status. Therefore, the aim of this study was to estimate general health status among Iranian diabetic patients through a systematic review and meta-analysis of study utilizing the Short-Form-36 questionnaire.MethodsSearching the EMBASE, PubMed, ISI/Web of Sciences (WOS), MEDLINE via Ovid, PsycoINFO, as well as Iranian databases (MagIran, Iranmedex, and SID) from January 2000 to December 2017. The methodological quality of the studies was evaluated using the “A Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool: for Non-Randomized Studies of Interventions” (ACROBAT-NRSI). Random-effect model was used and the means were reported with their 95% confidence interval (CI). To evaluate the heterogeneity between studies, I2 test was used. Egger’s regression test was used to assess the publication bias.ResultsFourteen studies were retained in the final analysis. The mean general health status using SF-36 in diabetic patients of Iran was 51.9 (95% CI: 48.64 to 53.54). The mean physical component summary was 52.92 [95% CI: 49.46–56.38], while the mean mental component summary was 51.02 [95% CI: 46.87–55.16].ConclusionThe findings of this study showed that general health status in Iranian diabetic patients is low. Health policymakers should work to improve the health status in these patients and take appropriate interventions.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12902-018-0262-2) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Self-esteem levels were measured very low on a study of 51 teenagers who had escaped from home and had a substance abuse story [26]. Low self-esteem scores in substance abuse rise with treatment [12]. In the light of these results, those who applied to psychiatric outpatient clinics and have low self-esteem may be considered to be at risk group for alcohol and substance addiction.…”

Alcohol and substance addiction is a growing problem all over the world. Also, studies on understanding the causes of addiction as well as the treatment continue. Alcohol and substance addiction have genetic, environmental and psychological causes. The leading psychological cause is anxiety disorders. There are only a few studies in the literature regarding the body images, self-esteem and social anxiety levels in individuals diagnosed with alcohol and substance abuse. The rates obtained from these studies vary. This research is designed to determine the ratio in Turkish society. Thirty-five individuals hospitalized in NPİstanbul Brain Hospital with the diagnosis of alcohol and substance addiction and thirty-five healthy subjects without any addiction were compared in terms of body image, self-esteem and social anxiety levels. Self-esteem and social anxiety levels were found to be statistically significantly high in the alcohol and substance addiction group. There was no statistically significant difference between the addiction and control groups in terms of body image level. These results support that low self-esteem and high social anxiety may be among the factors predisposing to alcohol and substance addiction.
