Resumen
El consumo de sustancias psicoactivas (SPA) entre los jóvenes en Colombia
representa un desafío crítico tanto para la sociedad como para el sistema de salud pública.
Este fenómeno, cada vez más prevalente, no solo afecta directamente la salud física y mental
de los jóvenes, sino que también incide en su desarrollo personal, académico y laboral. Para
comprender esta problemática, se utilizó un enfoque positivista, cuantitativo, con un diseño
descriptivo correlacional de tipo transversal. La investigación empleó dos instrumentos: el
ASSIST (Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test), para evaluar el
nivel de consumo de sustancias, y el Cuestionario de Satisfacción con la Vida (SWLS), para
medir la percepción de bienestar subjetivo. El análisis de los datos indicó una correlación
estadísticamente significativa entre el consumo de sustancias psicoactivas (SPA) y la
satisfacción con la vida. En la muestra analizada, se identificó que un mayor consumo de
SPA se relaciona con niveles más altos de satisfacción con la vida en el momento del estudio.
Este resultado puede interpretarse como una posible influencia de las SPA en la percepción
temporal de bienestar, lo cual no implica necesariamente un estado de bienestar integral o
sostenible a largo plazo. En conclusión, Este estudio identificó una correlación entre el
consumo de marihuana y mayores niveles de satisfacción momentánea en adultos jóvenes de
Cúcuta, sugiriendo que el consumo podría proporcionar un alivio temporal.
The use of psychoactive substances (PAS) among young people in Colombia represents a critical challenge for both society and the public health system. This increasingly prevalent phenomenon not only directly affects the physical and mental health of young people, but also impacts their personal, academic and professional development. To understand this problem, a positivist, quantitative approach was used, with a cross-sectional correlational descriptive design. The research used two instruments: the ASSIST (Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test), to assess the level of substance use, and the Satisfaction with Life Questionnaire (SWLS), to measure the perception of subjective well-being. The data analysis indicated a statistically significant correlation between the use of psychoactive substances (PAS) and life satisfaction. In the sample analyzed, it was identified that a higher consumption of PAS is related to higher levels of life satisfaction at the time of the study. This result can be interpreted as a possible influence of PAS on the temporary perception of well-being, which does not necessarily imply a state of comprehensive or sustainable well-being in the long term. In conclusion, this study identified a correlation between marijuana use and higher levels of momentary satisfaction in young adults in Cúcuta, suggesting that consumption could provide temporary relief.
