چکیده

مقدمه: اختلالات جنسی مرتبط با استفاده طولانی‌مدت از متادون و بوپرنورفین بسیار شایع هستند. به‌منظور بررسی تأثیرات درمان نگهدارنده با متادون (MMT) و بوپرنورفین (BMT) بر عملکرد جنسی زنانی که دچار وابستگی به سوء‌مصرف مواد اپیوئیدی هستند، مطالعه حاضر با هدف ارزیابی مقایسه‌ای تأثیر درمان نگهدارنده با استفاده از متادون و بوپرنورفین بر عملکرد جنسی زنان مبتلا به وابستگی به سوءمصرف مواد اپیوئیدی انجام شد تا اقدامات مؤثری جهت انتخاب بهتر در زمینه مشاوره و تصمیم‌گیری در خصوص درمان این افراد صورت گیرد.
روش‌کار: اینمطالعه توصیفی- تحلیلی مقطعی در سال 96-1394 بر روی 89 زن مبتلا به سوء‌مصرف مواد افیونی انجام شد. اطلاعات دموگرافیک، عملکرد جنسی و رضایت‌مندی زنانی که از قبل تحت درمان با MMT و BMT بودند، با استفاده از پرسشنامه‌های شاخص عملکرد جنسی زنان (FSFI) و رضایت جنسی لارسون در دو مقطع با فاصله 3 ماه تکمیل و جمع‌آوری گردید. تجزیه و تحلیل داده‌ها با استفاده از نرم‌افزار آماری SPSS (نسخه 20) و آزمون‌های تی مستقل، یومن‌ویتنی و کای اسکوئر انجام شد. میزان p کمتر از 05/0 معنی‌دار در نظر گرفته شد.
یافته‌ها: نمرات کل مقیاس (پرسشنامه شاخص عملکرد جنسی زنان) FSFI در گروه BMT به‌طور معنی‌داری بالاتر بود (05/0>p). نمرات حاصل از مقیاس میل جنسی و خرده مقیاس‌های برانگیختگی در گروه BMT نسبت به گروه MMT به‌طور معنی‌داری بهبود یافتند (05/0>p). از نظر سطح رضایت جنسی در دو مقطع مورد بررسی، بین دو گروه اختلاف معنی‌داری مشاهده نشد (25/0=p).
نتیجه‌گیری: استفاده از BMT در زنان مبتلا به سوء‌مصرف مواد اپیوئیدی می‌تواند تأثیر مثبت بیشتری نسبت به MMT در میل جنسی و برانگیختگی جنسی این افراد داشته باشد. این امر احتمالاً منجر به پیوستگی بیشتری به استفاده از درمان نگهدارنده می‌شود. در موارد دیگر، این دو دارو از لحاظ میزان اثربخشی و ایجاد رضایت‌مندی از عملکرد جنسی مشابه یکدیگر هستند.

چکیده [English]

Introduction: Sexual dysfunctions related to the long-term of methadone and buprenorphine are common. In order to investigate the effects of Methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) and buprenorphine maintenance treatment(BMT) on women sexual function with opioid abuse dependence, the present study was performed with aim to evaluate the effect ofmaintenance treatment with methadone and buprenorphine on sexual function of females with opioid abuse dependence .In order to the effective measures regarding choosing the best practice , consultation and decision making will be taken.
Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study was performed in 2015-2017 on 89 women with opioid abuse. Demographic information, sexual function and satisfaction of women who were previously treated with MMT and BMT were completed and collected using the Female sexual function index(FSFI) and Larson Sexual satisfaction questionnaire (LSSQ) in two stages with an interval of 3 months. Data were analyzed by SPSS software (version 20) and Independent T, Mann-Whitney U and Chi-Square tests.
Results: The total scores of FSFI (Female Sexual Function Index) were significantly higher in the BMT group (p < 0.05). The scores of sexual desire and arousal subscales were significantly improved in the BMT group compared with the MMT group (p < 0.05). No significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of the level of sexual satisfaction in two studied stages (p=0.25).
Conclusion: The use of BMT in women with opioid abuse can have a more positive effect on sexual desire and arousal than those in the MMT group. This issue likely leads to more adhesion to the use of maintenance treatment. In other cases, these two drugs are similar in terms of efficacy and causing satisfaction from sexual function.
