Resumen
The perception of the dependence symptoms is a key factor on the treatment seeking process by people who suffer from it, and its understanding is a relevant health issue. Objectives: The aim of the present study is to identify and understand the subjective meanings of the perceived dependence symptoms among patients who have sought treatment. Methods: Qualitative study conducted on an intentional sample of 13 substance dependents seeking formal treatment; in-depth semistructured interviews. Results: The diagnostic criteria on substance dependence were spontaneously reported by the participants. They show a clear understanding of the process of treatment, compulsion and lack in controlling substance-taking behavior; withdrawal state; tolerance; neglect of alternative pleasures or interests; perception of harmful consequences due to substance abuse. Conclusions: The interviewees have a proper understanding on the seeking treatment process and seem to evaluate subjectively and carefully the distress related to the dependence symptoms. These results need special attention of health professionals, especially in primary care settings and, once approached, it may collaborate with treatment searching. 57 3 196 202 Oppenheimer, E., Sheehan, M., Taylor, C., Letting the client speak: Drug misusers and the process of help seeking (1988) Br J Addict, 83, pp. 635-647 Brooke, D., Fudala, P.L., Johnson, R.E., Weighing up the pros and cons: Help-seeking by drug misusers in Baltimore, USA (1992) Drug Alcohol Depend, 31 (1), pp. 37-43 Nielsen, A.S., Alcohol problems and treatment: The patients' perceptions (2003) Eur Addict Res, 9 (1), pp. 29-38 Tucker, J.A., Vuchinich, R.E., Rippens, P.D., A factor analytic study of influences on patterns of help-seeking among treated and untreated alcohol dependent persons (2004) J Subst Abuse Treat, 26 (3), pp. 237-242 Hingson, R., Mangione, T., Allan, M., Scotch, N., Seeking help for drinking problems: A study in the Boston Metropolitan Area (1982) J Stud Alcohol, 43, pp. 273-288 Tucker, J.A., Galdsjo, J.A., Help-seeking and recovery by problem drinkers: Characteristics of drinkers who attended Alcoholics Anonymous or formal treatment or who recovered without assistance (1993) Addict Behav, 18 (5), pp. 529-542 Wells, J.E., Horwood, L.J., Fergusson, D.M., Reasons why young adults do or do not seek help for alcohol problems (2007) Aust N Z J Psychiatry, 41 (12), pp. 1005-1012 Power, R., Hartnoll, R., Chalmers, C., Help-seeking among illicit drug users: Some differences between a treatment and nontreatment sample (1992) Int J Addict, 27 (8), pp. 887-904 Finney, J.W., Moss, R.H., Entering treatment for alcohol abuse: A stress and coping model (1995) Addiction, 90 (9), pp. 1223-1240 Bardsley, P.E., Beckman, L.J., The health belief model and entry into alcoholism treatment (1988) Int J Addict, 23 (1), pp. 19-28 Cummings, K.M., Jette, A.M., Rosentock, I.M., Construct validation of the Health Belief Model (1978) Health Educ Monographs, 6 (4), pp. 394-405 Prochaska, J.D., DiClemente, C.C., Stages and processes of self-change of smoking: Toward an integrative model of change (1983) J Consult Clin Psychol, 51 (3), pp. 390-395 DiClemente, C.C., Hughes, S.O., Stages of change profiles in outpatient alcoholism treatment (1990) J Subst Abuse Treat, 2 (2), pp. 217-235 Thom, B., A process aproach to womens's use of alcohol services (1984) Br J Addict, 79 (4), pp. 377-382 Chitwodd, D.D., Morningstar, P.C., Factors which differentiate cocaine users in treatment from nontreatment users (1985) Int J Addict, 20 (3), pp. 449-459 Pfeiffer, W., Feuerlein, W., Brenk-Schulte, E., The motivation of alcohol dependents to undergo treatment (1991) Drug Alcohol Depend, 29, pp. 87-95 Solís, L.R., Medina-Mora, M.E., La utilización de los servicios de atención para la salud mental por mujeres mexicanas: Resultados de dos encuestas.
