Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Etude sur les corrélations entre l'activité professionnelle des cadres de l'enseignement supérieur (stress spécifique, degré d'autonomie et de responsabilité, etc...) et l'abus d'alcool et de drogues. Les résultats font état d'un faible rapport entre le stress professionnel et la consommation. En revanche, celle-ci est liée à la tendance dépressive ou suicidaire plus fréquente que la moyenne dans cette population.
ENGLISH :
The prevalence and frequency of drug and alcohol abuse among higher education faculty and staff is not known. Higher education is a cultural environment which, on the one hand, is stressful and, on the other, permits a high degree of autonomy. This relationship of stress and autonomy is predicted to produce drug and alcohol abuse. Information is gathered by anonymous, self-report questionnaires, on the frequency and prevalence of faculty and staff drug and alcohol use at a regional university. While stress was found to be weakly correlated with some drug use in the last month, depression was consistently correlated with drug use and moderately correlated with suicidal thoughts and tendencies, as well as job dissatisfaction. Drug and alcohol abuse is a factor in behavioral problems that affect faculty / staff and can be addressed through Employee Assistance Programs.
