analysis of the phenomenon of stigma and tendency to use drugs (case study: Mithaq Park, Tehran)

Many people do not experience stigma simply because of one reason. They may be subjected to discrimination based on various prejudices such as sexual orientation, gender, culture and physical disability. Discrimination itself can lead to problems in the field of mental health and substance use. Therefore, the present study tried to analyze the spatial analysis of the phenomenon of stigma and the tendency to use drugs in Maysagh Park, Tehran. It is also a cross-sectional method in terms of time and quantitative data in terms of nature. Depending on the purpose of the research, the number of 30 people involved with available drugs was used by judgmental or deliberate sampling method through the questionnaire tool. In this study, descriptive and inferential statistical methods (factor analysis) were used to analyze the data, and spss software was used to analyze the data. T. As a result, the indicators of insecurity and loneliness have a greater contribution in explaining the stigma and drug addiction of these people. Also, based on the obtained results, the highest correlation of social stigma among people and their tendency to use drugs was with the new identity acceptance index. In other words, confused identity styles are more common among drug users, and the average of confused and premature identity styles of healthy people is lower than that of addicted people. Also, people with confused-avoidant identity are more inclined to use drugs and consider this way as the best solution for their decision times.
