大学生使用兴奋剂是一个重大的公共卫生问题，由于其后果。鉴于据报道，许多学生使用处方兴奋剂的学术目的，实证调查，以确定那些学生在处方兴奋剂滥用（PSM）的风险。本研究的目的是探讨应对方式对处方兴奋剂使用和相关后果之间的关联的作用。我们假设，更多的适应不良（与自适应）应对策略将介导这种关联，特别是低年级学生（新生/大学生）和男性。参与者是美国七所大学的787名大学生，他们完成了一项评估物质使用和应对行为的在线调查。在假设检验之前，我们对科普测量进行了因素分析，并发现了三个因素的解决方案，我们命名为适应不良应对，适应性应对和支持性应对。处方兴奋剂的使用与兴奋剂相关的负面后果呈正相关。多重中介分析表明，适应不良的应对因素部分介导了这种直接关联。多组分析显示，应对方式对大学女生的适应不良有显著的中介作用，而对男生没有显著的中介作用。这些结果初步揭示了大学生应对方式与危险性刺激物使用之间的关系，并暗示应对策略的构建是识别危险性学生的一个有用指标。
Stimulant use among college students is a significant public health concern due to its consequential effects. Given that many students reportedly use prescription stimulants for academic purposes, empirical investigations are needed to identify those students at risk for prescription stimulant misuse (PSM). The purpose of the current study was to examine the role of coping styles on the association between prescription stimulant use and related consequences. We hypothesized that more maladaptive (vs. adaptive) coping strategies would mediate this association, particularly for underclassmen (freshmen/sophomores) and men. Participants were n = 787 college students across seven universities in the United States who completed an online survey assessing substance use and coping behaviors. Prior to hypothesis testing, we conducted factor analysis on the COPE measure and found support for a three-factor solution, which we named maladaptive coping, adaptive coping, and supportive coping. Prescription stimulant use was positively related to stimulant-related negative consequences. Multiple mediation analyses indicated that the maladaptive coping factor partially mediated this direct association. Multi-group analyses revealed that maladaptive coping style was a significant mediator for college women in the sample, but not men. These results scratch the surface of the relationship between coping and risky stimulant use among college students and imply that the building of coping strategies is a useful target in identifying at-risk students.
