Abstract
Objective: To analyze factors related to substance abuse among health professionals: risk factors, prevention and intervention. Bibliographic Review: Substance use disorder (SUD) can be classified as continuous and recurrent abuse, which leads to clinical and social harm to the individual. Among health professionals, the main substances associated with this disorder are opioids, marijuana and sleep-inducing drugs. The most frequent risk factor for SUT is the individual's exposure to recurrent drug use. In addition, high workloads, stress and anxiety are worrying risk factors. Furthermore, the disorder causes a great impact among health professionals at a personal and professional level, thus, the importance of policies for its prevention is undeniable. However, currently there are divergences and obstacles related to how this prevention would be, such as through random screening in hospitals. Final considerations: Thus, prevention and treatment are necessary to mitigate the number of people involved, as well as the impacts generated by this disorder in the lives of health professionals and their patients.
