The relevance of the problem posed is due to the need for psychological support for students through the op-timization of socio-psychological safety. This will increase the level of students’ self-efficacy, the efficiency of their activities and interpersonal interaction. The purpose of the study is to determine the features of inter-relation between the concepts of socio-psychological safety and subjective well-being in groups of students with different levels of self-efficacy. The following methodologies were used in the empirical study: «So-cio-psychological safety»(T.V.Eksakusto), Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale (R.Schwarzer, M.Jerusalem, in adaptation by V.G.Romek), «Questionnaire of subjective social well-being parameters»(T.V.Danilchenko).

Subjective social well-being is considered as satisfaction with one’s own social and personal status, prospects and the current state of the society to which a person belongs, in-terpersonal relationships, satisfaction of social needs. The study established a high level of students’ trust, gaining of support, respect and positive feedback from the immediate environment. A comparison of two groups of students with different levels of self-efficacy showed that a high level of self-efficacy of students is due to self-confidence, positive social judgments, such students demonstrate a high level of consistency and safety in interpersonal relations. The study established differences in the relationship between the pa-rameters of socio-psychological safety and subjective social well-being in groups of students with different levels of self-efficacy. Students with a high level of self-efficacy strive to get information about the partner and the situation in communication, show confidence in their ability to actively influence the situation of in-teraction in accordance with their goals. Students with a low level of self-efficacy ensure subjective well-being in interpersonal relations through focusing on the opinions of significant people, through getting their support, acceptance, help, and positive emotional feedback.

The first 38 methadone maintenance treatment patients in Stockholm: 15-year follow-up with a main focus on detoxification from methadone

Background/aims: The present study investigated the first 38 methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) patients in Stockholm. The aim was: (i) to investigate the possible predictive factors for successful treatment termination, and (ii) the long-term outcome effects and life situation of MMT patients and those who terminated the treatment. Methods: The patients were interviewed at the start and approximately 15 years later, and divided into four groups: (1) no withdrawal attempts, (2) forced to stop the treatment, (3) successful tapering and (4) non-successful tapering. Results: The predictive factor found that Group 1 showed a lower life quality compared with Groups 3 and 4. Fifteen years later, the life situations of Groups 3 and 4 were significantly more stable. Also the subjective well-being in Group 3 was significantly higher. Over all, Group 2 showed significantly more illicit drug use compared with Group 3. The social life situation was significantly improved for all patients during the 15 years. Conclusion: This study confirms our earlier findings that the ultimate goal of MMT for the motivated patients with good progress should be an opiate-free life. The life situation and subjective well-being seems to be higher after successful termination of MMT.
