Abstract | The article discuses the attitude of the staff of Health Center Ljubljana-Center (HC) towards the clients of methadone clinic (MC) in the Center. The introductory part presents the attitude towards illegal drug dependence, methods of the fight againts drug use and methods of treatment of drug dependence, with the stress on maintenance methadone program as a part of the treatment process, illustrated by the concrete example of methadon clinic in the frames of HC. In the empirical part of the present work, the knowledge about the operation and doctrine of the methadone clinic among the staff of the HC Ljubljana-Center, their concept of dependence and goals of methadone maintenance in a health center, their attitude towards an "average" drug addict and their attitude towards the staff of the methadone clinic was investigated. The results reveal between attitudes and gender, age, education level, the distance between workpost and methadone clinic, place of living and the knowledge of the operation of methadon clinic. The discussion part states that the hypothesis of intolerance of the staff in HC Ljubljana-Center against clients of methadone was confirmed. The staff of the HC do not generally have a negative attitude towards an average drug addict; still, they would rather avoid them. In spite of the fact that they acknowledge the necessity of a methadone clinic, they would rather not have in their health center. | |
Summary | Članek obravnava odnos zaposlenih v Zdravstenem domu Center (ZD) do uporabnikov metadonske ambulante (MA) v temu ZD. V uvodnem delu je predstavljen problem odvisnosti od ilegalnih drog, način boja proti drogam ter načini zdravljenja bolezni odvisnosti s posebnim poudarkom na vlogi vzdrževalnega metodonskega programa v procesu zdravljenja. Kot konkreten primer je predstavljena metadonska ambulanta v ZD Center. V empiričnem delu s pomočjo ankete ugotavljamo poznavanje dela in doktrine metadonske ambulante pri delavcih ZD Center, njihovo pojmovanje odvisnosti in cilja metadonskega vzdrževanja, stališča do metadonske ambulante v zdravstvenem domu, odnos do "povprečnega" zasvojenca ter odnos do delavcev v metadonski amublanti. Ugotavljamo zvezo med stališči in spolom, starostjo, izobrazbo, oddaljenostjo delovnega mesta od metadonske ambulante, krajem bivališča anketiranih oseb ter poznavanjem dela in doktrine metadonske ambulante. V razpravi je ugotovljeno, da je hipnoza o netolerantnosti zaposlenih v ZD Center do uporabnikov MA v zdravstvenem domu v veliki meri potrjena. Delavci ZD sicer nimajo velikega odpora do povprečnih zasvojencev, vendar pa ne želijo imeti opravka z njimi. Kljub temu, da se zavedajo potrebnosti MA, pa so v velikem številu proti takšni amublanti v "svojem" zdravstvenem domu. | |
