Resumo: OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the impact of drug use on the quality of life (QoL) of users, identifying the differences between men and women.METHODS: This is a cross-sectional, exploratory and quantitative study carried out in institutions that host drug addicts in the city of Maceió, Alagoas. In the evaluation, the abbreviated version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-bref) was used in 101 subjects who had a diagnosable relationship of dependence with alcohol and / or other drugs. For tabulation and analysis of the data was used Microsoft Office Excel, SPSS software version 15 for Windows and EpiInfo Windows Version 3.5.4.RESULTS: A sample of 101 chemical dependents consisted of 51 men (50,5%) and 50 women (49.5%), with a mean age of 33.84 years. It was found a lower satisfaction rate with the aspects that integrate the environment (41,89%) and psychological (43,77%) domains. Self-perception of QoL was the only parameter that showed a statistically significant difference between genders, which revealed the female gender with higher mean scores (36%), compared to the male (23,0%). All other parameters showed no significant differences between the genders.CONCLUSIONS: Drug use had an impact on quality of life, evidenced by the low scores obtained by users in the psychological and environmental domains of WHOQOL-bref.  In general, the difference between the genders was not statistically significant in the comparison of QoL among the chemical dependents, except for the QoL self-assessment.

A pesquisa aplicou o questionário de qualidade de vida WHOQOL-bref numa amostra de 101 indivíduos, que mantinham com o álcool e/ou outras drogas uma relação diagnosticável de dependência. Para tabulação e análise dos dados utilizou-se o Microsoft Office Excel, o software SPSS versão 15 for Windows e o EpiInfo Windows Versão 3.5.4.RESULTADOS: A análise foi constituída por 51 homens (50,5%) e 50 mulheres (49,5%), com média de idade de 33,84 anos. Houve um menor índice de satisfação com os aspectos que integram os domínios meio ambiente (41,89%) e psicológico (43,77%). A autopercepção da QV foi o único parâmetro que apresentou diferença entre os sexos estatisticamente significativa, que revelou o sexo feminino com escores médios mais altos (36,0%) em comparação com o masculino (23,0%). Todos os outros parâmetros não apresentaram diferenças significativas entre os sexos.CONCLUSÕES: O uso de drogas teve impacto na QV, evidenciado pelos baixos escores obtidos pelos usuários nos domínios psicológico e meio ambiente do WHOQOL-bref. De maneira geral, a diferença entre os sexos não apresentou relevância estatística na comparação da QV entre os dependentes químicos, com exceção da autoavaliação da QV.Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR)Dantas, Fernanda SouzaVeras, Matheus de OliveiraCavalcante, Jairo CaladoBittencourt, Cristiana Carina de Barros Lima DantasAssis, Tereza Angelica Lopes de2017-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.utfpr.edu.br/rbqv/article/view/598210.3895/rbqv.v9n2.5982Revista Brasileira de Qualidade de Vida; v. 9, n. 2 (2017)2175-085810.3895/rbqv.v9n2reponame:Revista Brasileira de Qualidade de Vidainstname:Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR)instacron:UTFPRporhttps://periodicos.utfpr.edu.br/rbqv/article/view/5982/4399Direitos autorais 2017 CC-BYhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2017-08-30T19:21:16Zoai:periodicos.utfpr:article/5982Revistahttps://periodicos.utfpr.edu.br/rbqvPUBhttp://periodicos.utfpr.edu.br/rbqv/oai||rbqv-pg@utfpr.edu.br2175-08582175-0858opendoar:2017-08-30T19:21:16Revista Brasileira de Qualidade de Vida - Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR)false
