我们调查了1,684名7年级到12年级的学生，了解他们使用吸入剂的情况以及他们认为有压力的环境类型。吸入剂使用者分为戒断者、实验者和常规使用者。与实验组和常规使用组的男性相比，男性戒酒者的平均压力评分较低（p ≤ .05）。在女性中，戒烟者的平均压力评分低于（p ≤ .05）常规使用者，但与实验使用者没有差异（p ≤ .05）。对于男性和女性来说，戒酒者和经常使用者之间的最大平均差异发生在教师领域。教育工作者应考虑将压力管理和应对技能的教学纳入药物教育计划。
We surveyed 1,684 students from Grades 7 through 12 on their use of inhalants and the types of circumstances they perceived as stressful. Inhalant users were classified as abstainers, experimental, and regular users. Male abstainers were found to exhibit lower (p ≤ .05) mean stress scores as compared to males in the experimental and regular user groups. Among females, abstainers exhibited lower (p ≤ .05) mean stress scores than regular users but did not differ (p ≤ .05) with experimental users. For both males and females, the largest mean differences between abstainers and regular users occurred in the area of teachers. Educators should consider inclusion of stress management and the teaching of coping skills in drug education programs.
