Keywords:
predicting factors, relapsed, methamphetamineAbstract
Predicting the relapsing factors of methamphetamine patients in Thanyarak Hospitals, Thailand is the objective of this study. Data was gathered from November 1, 2019, to July 31, 2020. These 282 participants obtained medical treatment. The tool that segregated the focus group form and the demographic data with factors was the interview record. It was 0.80 for reliability. The statistical report comprised the mean, standard deviation, percentage, and multiple logistic regression. The results revealed that the methamphetamine relapsing statistically significant factors were female (ORadj, 95% CI; 4.23, (1.71: 10.47)), suffering inadequate income and financial obligations (ORadj, 95% CI; 0.45, (1.71: 10.47)), living in a city center (ORadj, 95% CI; 8.63, (1.64: 45.33)) and recreational drug used (ORadj, 95% CI; 11.76, (2.78: 49.81)) respectively. Thus, to prevent relapses, encourage a return to normal social interactions, and potentially contribute substantially. These factors and the multidisciplinary cooperation will be taken into consideration while constructing the drug abuse treatment protocol.
