Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Dans le but de comprendre la comorbidité trouble d'usage de drogue (TUS) et trouble de stress post-traumatique (TSPT), 42 patients ont été interrogés sur leur perception des interactions entre ces deux problèmes et sur les traitements. Il apparaît qu'ils perçoivent les deux troubles comme liés : si l'un s'aggrave l'autre aussi ; si l'un s'améliore, l'autre aussi. Ils semblent préférer un traitement simultané de leurs troubles, bien que la majorité n'ait jamais suivie de traitement du TSPT (le principal facteur dissuassif pour ce type de traitement étant le manque de confiance).
ENGLISH :
42 patients with both a current substance use disorder (SUD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were asked about the interrelationship of their 2 disorders, their treatment preferences and experiences, as well as possible deterrents to receiving PTSD treatment. Patients perceived their 2 disorders to be functionally related. They reported that when one disorder worsened, their other was more likely to worsen ; when one improved, the other similarly improved. Consistent with these perceptions, SUD-PTSD patients favored simultaneous treatment of their 2 disorders. The majority of SUD-PTSD patients were never referred to PTSD treatment. Although several possible deterrents to PTSD treatment were identified, only lack of trust appeared to differentiate PTSD treatment compliers versus noncompliers. Implications of these findings on referral and treatment practices are discussed. (Authors'abstract)
