Syftet med studien är att studera föräldrars, mamma respektive pappas emotioner och känslomässiga likheter och skillnader till unga vuxna barn med narkotikamissbruk utifrån spelfilm. Analysen består av två amerikanska spelfilmer. I studien syftar vi till droger i form av narkotika och inte alkohol. Metoden vi använt i denna studie var kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Studien visade att föräldrar till missbrukande vuxna barn känner många liknande emotioner ur ett emotionssociologiskt och emotionspsykologiskt perspektiv. Däremot finns det skillnader i hur dessa emotioner synliggörs utåt och vad reaktionerna blir som resultat av emotionerna som de känner. Känslor som ofta uppstår för föräldrar till vuxna barn med missbruk är ilska, rädsla, glädje, sorg, skam och skuld. Dessa emotioner som föräldrarna känner kombineras på olika sätt vilket skildras i filmerna. Några mönster som skildras i båda filmer avseende emotioner är att ilska ofta döljer sorg, skam, skuld eller rädsla. Pappan i Beautiful Boy visar ilska tydligt utåt samtidigt som det döljer känslor av ilska, glädje, sorg, skam och skuld. Mamman i Ben is back känner också ilska men det visas inte utåt på samma sätt, utan snarare i form av sorg och illamående. Däremot döljer illamåendet en ilska som i sin tur döljer ovanstående känslor av skam, skuld, sorg eller rädsla. Andra mönster som också skildras i filmerna är att sorg döljer ilska samt att skam döljer ilska eller rädsla. I filmerna skildras att mamman och pappan känner skam över att de misslyckats som förälder. Däremot döljer denna känsla av skam, känslor som ilska och rädsla då föräldrarna är irriterade över situationen deras barn befinner sig i samt oro och rädsla för vad som kan hända och de risker som finns med missbruket. Emotioner som syns utåt ur både mamma och pappa är ilska i olika former, skuld, sorg och framförallt oro som skildras ständigt genom båda spelfilmerna., The aim of this study was to understand how films depict how it is emotionally and also emotional similarities and differences to be a parent, mother and father of a young adult child with a narcotics addiction. The analysis is based on two American films. In this study we refer to drugs in the form of narcotics and not alcohol. The method for this study was a qualitative content analysis. The study found that parents of adult children with drug addiction feel many similar emotions from a perspective of sociology of emotions and psychology of emotions. However, there are differences in how these emotions are made visible to the outside world and what the reactions are as a result of the emotions they feel. Emotions that often arise for parents of adult children with addiction are anger, fear, joy, grief, shame and guilt. These emotions that the parents feel are combined in different ways, which is depicted in the films. Some patterns depicted in both films regarding emotions are that anger often hides grief, shame, guilt or fear. The father in Beautiful Boy clearly shows anger outwards while hiding feelings of anger, joy, grief, shame and guilt. The mother in Ben is back also feels anger but is not shown outwards in the same way, rather in the form of sadness and nausea. On the other hand, the nausea hides an anger which also hides the feelings mentioned above of shame, guilt, grief or fear. Other patterns that also are depicted in the films are that grief hides anger and that shame hides anger or fear. The films depict that the mother and father feel ashamed that they have failed as a parent, however, this feeling of shame hides feelings such as anger and fear when the parents are annoyed about the situation their sons are in, as well as worries and fears about what might happen and the risks that comes with the addiction. Emotions that are seen externally from both mum and dad are anger in various forms, guilt, grief and above all anxiety that is constantly portr

Background: Comprehensive misunderstanding about medicine usage is often associated with high treatment risks which have led to unexpected and adverse effects or even death. Many researches assessing health literacy have been undertaken, but only in adults. This study was undertaken to evaluate the level of understanding in students of medical terms and its correlation with gender, grade and parental occupation.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from September to October 2017 with 594 students (28.6% of men and 71.4% of women) of Hanoi University of Pharmacy from freshman to fifth-year students chosen randomly. The knowledge of pharmacy students was assessed by a questionnaire including 25 medical terms. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square test were used with p<0.05 as level of statistical significance.Results: The level of understanding of students was high with most of medical terms reaching over 70% correct answers. A positive significant association between health literacy and education was found with higher knowledge demonstrated in upper years, while there was no difference among students with and without parents belonging to the medical field. Regarding the relation with gender, there was no significant correlation for most medical terms.Conclusions: Levels of understanding of medical terms in pharmacy students was high, presenting a significant association with education. This study should be extended in order to assess the level of health literacy in various populations, thereby indirect evaluating implementation of medical preventive programs.

BackgroundAdolescent juvenile offenders are at high risk for problems associated with drug use, including polysubstance use (i.e., use of a variety of drugs). The combination of juvenile offending and polysubstance use presents a significant public and child health concern.ObjectiveThis study explored polysubstance use among a sample of youth incarcerated for serious offenses. We examined several risk factors for substance use and delinquency (i.e., early and frequent substance use, prior history of arrests, school expulsion, Black ethnicity), as well as the association between aggression and polysubstance use.MethodsData were collected via questionnaires from 373 serious male juvenile offenders upon intake into a secure locked facility. Youth were on average 16 years old, and minority youth were overrepresented (28.1% Black, 53.1% Latino). Poisson regressions were used to assess the associations between the risk factors, aggression, and polysubstance use.ResultsConsistent with the literature, Black youth reported less polysubstance use and later age of drug use onset than White and Latino youth. Findings suggest that Latino juvenile offenders and those with an early and problematic pattern of substance use are at heightened risk for polysubstance use. Aggression was not significantly related to polysubstance use, over and above the risk factors.ConclusionsGiven that Latino youth experience low rates of treatment for substance use, the development of culturally-sensitive interventions for these youth is needed. Interventions should also be multifaceted to address the multitude of risk factors associated with polysubstance use among juvenile offenders.
