Abstract

Background: Adolescence is the period of stress and strain. Researchers have shown that ADOLESCENTs without strong social supports would have tendency towards smoking and drug abuse.Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between low self-esteem and illegal drug abuse.Materials and Methods: Participants were 943 grades nine to 12 high school students, from Sarakhs during 2010-2011. ADOLESCENTs participated in the study, completed two self-report questionnaires. The first questionnaire included questions about individual and family information, smoking and illegal drug abuse history, and the second was the Rosenberg's self-esteem scale.Results: 53.8% of participants were male (507 individuals). The mean Rosenberg self-esteem score was 19.8+5.2, and the most frequent obtained scores were from 22 to 30. The difference of Rosenberg self-esteem score test between students who did not use any substance and those who had a history of smoking or drug abuse like heroin, pills, alcohols, betel nut (Nas) and other drugs (such as Pan and Hookah) was significant (P<0.001). But this difference was not significant for marijuana (hashish) and opium. The difference of mean self-esteem scores between ADOLESCENTs who lived with both or one of the parents, and those who did not live with any of parents, was significant (P=0.04). There was also a significant association between the number of children in the family and self-esteem score.Conclusions: The current study showed significant association between the Rosenberg self-esteem test results and smoking, and illegal drug abuse like heroin, pills, alcohol, Nas, and other substances. Therefore, increasing self-esteem is essential for preventing the ADOLESCENTs’ emotional and behavioral disorders. This fact could guide us to the new approaches for smoking and drug-abuse prevention in ADOLESCENTs.
