ABSTRACT
Como parte de una línea de investigación pionera en el ámbito de las adicciones y la salud mental, enfocada en operacionalizar las implicaciones clínicas de la teoría de la motivación de Maslow (1954/1970), que retroalimente sustantivamente las estrategias de tratamiento y prevención de la adicción del consumo de drogas y sus trastornos asociados, se somete a prueba el constructo de psicopatogénesis de esta teoría por medio de un diseño transversal de cuatro muestras independientes en el cual se evalúa el grado de satisfacción de 16 necesidades deficitarias de muestras intencionales de adolescentes y adultos jóvenes: una de éstas integrada por estudiantes y trabajadores no usuarios de drogas ilegales (n=151) y tres más compuestas por usuarios actuales de marihuana (n=47), de cocaína (n=47) y de ambas sustancias (n=50), los cuales fueron captados entre solicitantes de tratamiento a Centros de Integración Juvenil. Los análisis estadísticos comparativos y predictivos proporcionaron validez al constructo de psicopatogénesis de la teoría de la motivación de Maslow y se señala: 1) la utilidad del desarrollo de técnicas e instrumentos de tratamiento orientados a cubrir el déficit de satisfacción de las necesidades de salud, tranquilidad, orden, seguridad emocional, justicia en la familia, amor, amistad, respeto, cariño, poder, dominar, éxito y dinero y 2) el beneficio de elaborar estrategias que se orienten a mantener satisfechas las necesidades deficitarias de salud, tranquilidad, cariño, respeto y éxito en el campo la prevención del consumo actual de drogas como la cocaína o la marihuana
As part of a pioneer investigation line on the field of addiction and mental health centred on the operationalization of clinical implications of the motivational theory of Maslow (1954/1970) and feedback treatment and prevention strategies of drug use and its associated disturbances, it is tested the psycho-pathogenesis construct of this theory by means of a cross sectional design of four independent samples, on which it is explored the satisfaction degree of 16 deficitary needs on intentional samples of adolescents and young adults: Three samples of actual users of marihuana (n=47), cocaine (n=47) and both substances (n=50), that were gotten between treatment solicitors and a sample of students and workers non illicit drug users (n=151).The comparative and predictive statistical analysis provide validity to the psycho-pathogenesis construct of the theory of motivation of Maslow, and its stand out: 1) The potential utility for the treatment of the development of techniques and instruments oriented to cover the deficit of satisfaction of the needs of health, tranquillity, order, emotional security, family justice, love, friendship, respect, tenderness, power, domination, success and money and; 2) The importance for the prevention of the actual consumption of drugs as cocaine or marihuana of the development of strategies focused to keep satisfied the needs of health, tranquillity, affection, respect and success

The College of Nursing (CON), Michigan State University (MSU), in collaboration with the School of Nursing and Obstetrics, University of Guanajuato, Celaya, Mexico, developed a semester-long study-abroad program for senior MSU nursing students offered for the first time in the fall of 1998. The program provides intensive Spanish language classes and allows students to take required nursing courses in Mexico with a substantial amount of course content provided by Mexican faculty without an MSU CON faculty member on site at all times. Students receive a broad perspective of nursing and health care in Mexico, and develop an appreciation for its language and culture as well. This program represents an innovative approach to the development and implementation of a study-abroad program in nursing.
