摘要：Sport participation is frequently considered as protective factor against substance misuse (SUM) in adolescence, but there is an evident lack of empirical studies which examined this problem taking into account various facets of sport participation (sport factors). This study aimed to evaluate possible associations between various sport factors and SUM in older adolescents from Croatia. The sample comprised 788 adolescents (16-to 18 years of age, 45% females). Variables included sport factors (participation in individual and team sports, competitive achievement in sports, and experience in sports), and SUM data (cigarette smoking, harmful alcohol drinking (HD), and simultaneous HD and smoking [multiple-SUM]). Boys were more involved in sports, and were more likely to be engaged in HD and MSUM than girls. Logistic regressions provided no evidence about significant association between sport factors, and smoking and HD. Sport factors were significantly associated to multiple-SUM, with lower likelihood of MSUM in adolescents who achieved better sport success (OR: 0.57, 95%CI: 0.40-0.78), who were involved in individual sports (OR: 0.71, 95%CI: 0.50-0.91), and team sports (OR: 0.80, 95%CI: 0.56-0.99). Sport factors may be observed as being protective against multiple-SUM, which is explained by characteristics of the sport participation in youth (i.e. orientation toward success, age-bonding, adult supervision).
其他摘要：Udeležba v športu se pogosto šteje kot zaščitni dejavnik pred zlorabo prepovedanih substanc v mladostništvu. Do sedaj še ni bilo narejenih empiričnih študij, ki bi preučevale to težavo ob upoštevanju različnih vidikov športnega udejstvovanja. Glavni cilj študije je bil ovrednotiti možne povezave med različnimi športnimi dejavniki in zlorabo prepovedanih substanc pri starejših mladostnikih iz Hrvaške. Vzorec je zajemal 788 mladostnikov (starih med 16 in 18 let, od tega 55% mladostnikov in 45% mladostnic). Spremenljivke so vključevale športne dejavnike (udeležba v individualnih in ekipnih športih, tekmovalni dosežki v športu in izkušnje v športu), podatke o zlorabi prepovedanih substanc (kajenje cigaret, škodljivo uživanje alkohola ter sočasno uživanje alkohola in kajenje [multi-SUM]). Ugotovili smo, da se fantje več ukvarjajo s športom kot dekleta in pri njih tudi opažamo višjo konzumacijo alkohola in multi-SUM v primerjavi z dekleti. Z logistično regresijo nismo ugotovili značilnih povezav med športnimi dejavniki, kajenjem in sočasnim kajenjem ter pitjem alkohola. Športni dejavniki so bili značilno povezani z večkratnimi vsotami z manjšo verjetnostjo MSUM pri mladostnikih, ki so dosegli boljši športni uspeh (OR: 0,57, 95% IZ: 0,40-0,78) tako pri individualnih (OR: 0,71, 95% IZ : 0,50-0,91) kot pri skupinskih športih (OR: 0,80, 95% IZ: 0,56-0,99).
