One of the prominent advantages of the new dispensation in South Africa is the increase in research undertaken in rural and deep rural communities. The article presents results of the research in one of rural provinces — Venda. The substance abuse patterns in two selected secondary schools were compared as well as the influence it had on delinquent behaviour. The study is a self-report survey with 120 participants of both genders in grade 11 and 12. The questionnaire that was used comprised multiple choice questions such as the types of substances and also Likert scale type questions. The data was analysed by using the Statistical Package for The Social Sciences. Being the first ever research of this nature conducted at the selected schools, the study is exploratory in nature but nonetheless is also at the applicative levels as it attempts to arrive at knowledge that will assist in controlling substance abuse at the schools in the area. The school as an instrument of development and socialization should play an enormously important role in preparing the youth for their future and how that is used to the benefit of society at large. At the same time it is commonly known the abuse of substances in all types and levels of schools is increasing tremendously amongst learners in South Africa.

Background: Substance abuse has the potential to change value orientations and affects all aspects of human life. Objectives: The text aims to show the shift in value orientations of respondents who use addictive substances compared to respondents who do not. Methodology: One-way ANOVA was used in the statistical analysis of the dependence of the values on the occurrence of abusive behaviour, with dependencies at the level of p ≤ 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: There were statistically significant differences between the group of respondents with abstinence from each addictive substance and the group of respondents without abstinence. Substance abuse shifts pro-family values towards greater individualization and thus threatens and destabilizes the family. It strengthens community-oriented values and weakens family-oriented values. Conclusions: The transformation of the value system leads to a destabilization of family ties, which cease to be a priority. Working with values should be an opportunity for social pedagogy, social work, and all types of schools. Non-formal and informal education present particular opportunities for values education. In many cases, it is unnecessary to change the value system, but only to show the non-deviant way of fulfilling values.

Background: It is necessary that physicians, nurses, other health professionals and even medical students and students of nursing and midwifery schools abstain from smoking. Those who are already smokers should quit or make sure that patients are not around when smoking. Purpose: This study aims to examine the substance abuse among nurses, the substances that they mostly abuse and affecting factors in light of previous studies conducted in Turkey. Method: Systematic literature review. Results: Studies conducted in Turkey show that smoking rate among nurses varies between 42.3% to 68.6%, while quit rate varies between 6% to 12.7%. Unfortunately, these results are quite high. Being a widow/widower, having divorced, presence of a mental problem requiring treatment, and being a high school graduate increase the likelihood of smoking. Nurses with a university degree start smoking at the age of 21 or above. The leading reason for smoking is social environment and friends, followed by stress/boredom and pretension/enjoyment. Conclusion: Organizing educational programs and campaigns for all nurses, especially for the students of nursing and health vocational schools, which focus on the negative effects of smoking and quitting, and making changes in the curricula of health-related programs so that students get familiar with the topic as early as in the first year of their education, would make the fight against substance abuse more effective

The present study is a part of the international project “Aging out study” describing the functioning of the people growing up outside their own family, in a foster care system. The aim of the current study was to examine substance abuse (alcohol, marijuana and other drugs) by the youth leaving foster care in Poland. The study involved 134 respondents, including 58 leaving institutional placements and 76 leaving family placements. Substance abuse was measured using key items from the Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS). The results showed that over 80% of the youth reported one or more symptom of alcohol abuse/dependence, about 8% had a DIS diagnosis of alcohol abuse or dependence, and about 20% had a diagnosis of marijuana or other drug abuse/dependence. No significant differences in rates of diagnosis for substance abuse/dependence were found when comparing the youth leaving orphanages and those leaving foster families.

Prezentowane badanie jest częścią międzynarodowego projektu „Aging out study” opisującego funkcjonowanie osób, wychowujących się poza własną rodziną w opiece zastępczej. W obecnym badaniu sprawdzaliśmy, czy osoby po opuszczeniu opieki zastępczej w Polsce nadużywają substancji psychoaktywnych (alkoholu, narkotyków i leków psychotropowych). W badaniach wzięły udział 134 osoby, w tym 58 byłych wychowanków domów dziecka oraz 76 osób z rodzin zastępczych. Nadużywanie substancji mierzone było Kwestionariuszem Nadużywania Substancji (Diagnostic Interview Schedule, DIS). Wyniki pokazały, że ponad 80% badanych wykazuje symptomy nadużywania alkoholu, około 8% badanych jest uzależnionych od alkoholu, a około 20% badanych nadużywa marihuany i doświadcza problemów z tym związanych. Okazało się również, że badani mający za sobą pobyt w domach dziecka i rodzinach zastępczych nie różnią się od siebie znacząco w zakresie nadużywania i uzależnienia od substancji psychoaktywnych.
