Özet

© 2020, Istanbul Universitesi. All rights reserved.Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the impulsivity level, temperament and personality traits in patients with and without intravenous (IV) opiate use. Method: This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study conducted at Akdeniz University Alcohol and Substance Addiction Research and Application Center (AMBAUM). The study included 70 patients aged between 18-40 years who were diagnosed with opiate use disorder according to the diagnostic criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 (DSM-5). 35 patients were using IV opiates and 35 patients were using non-IV opiates. The control group consisted of 35 healthy volunteers with similar socio-demographic characteristics. The control group had no history of substance use during their lifetime. A semi-structured sociodemographic data form, Buss Perry Aggression Scale (BPAS), Barratt Impulsivity Scale-11 (BIS-11), Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego Autoquestionnaire (TEMPS-A) and SCID-II personality inventory were administered all participants. Results: Impulsivity, aggression and antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) were significantly higher in all opiate groups compared to the control group. There was no significant difference in impulsi-vity, aggression, temperament and personality characteristics in groups with and without IV opiate use. Conclusion: High impulsivity and aggression and a high rate of ASPD were associated with opiate use disorder. However, there was no significant relationship between IV opiate use and impulsivity, temperament, and personality.
