“…The adjustment of the association between maternal prenatal stress and child IQ for family income, maternal and paternal education and maternal alcohol consumption and smoking during pregnancy could be seen by some scholars as overadjustment since these variables are life-style factors generally related to the concept of stress (Cohen, Doyle, & Baum, 2006;Hassanbeigi, Askari, Hassanbeigi, & Pourmovahed, 2013), thus the adjustment for these variables was performed in a late step and in separate models. These factors affect offspring mental development through multiple pathways other than maternal stress during pregnancy (Eriksen et al, 2013;Hanscombe et al, 2012;Olds et al, 1994;Olney et al, 2002).…”

The evidence for negative influences of maternal stress during pregnancy on child cognition remains inconclusive. This study tested the association between maternal prenatal stress and child intelligence in 4,251 mother–child dyads from a multiethnic population‐based cohort in the Netherlands. A latent factor of prenatal stress was constructed, and child IQ was tested at age 6 years. In Dutch and Caribbean participants, prenatal stress was not associated with child IQ after adjustment for maternal IQ and socioeconomic status. In other ethnicities no association was found; only in the Moroccan/Turkish group a small negative association between prenatal stress and child IQ was observed. These results suggest that prenatal stress does not predict child IQ, except in children from less acculturated minority groups.

“…Given the link between childhood trauma and mental disorders, it is possible that mental disorders, such as depression, are an important mediator underlying the relationship between trauma and drug use. Drug use may be more prevalent among those who are attempting to alleviate symptoms of psychological stress and psychiatric disorders . However, this relationship is complicated, because although drugs are often used to self‐medicate mental disorders, drug use itself can worsen symptoms or trigger new symptoms .…”

“…Thus, it was easy to get an overview of the articles and compare the studies. The articles were divided into two categories of analysis: alcohol and drugs abuse in professions with high degree of psychosocial hazards and risks (8) and alcohol and drugs abuse for workplace stress in other professions (8).…”

“…In these cases, the stressed worker begins to feel positive expectations regarding the effects of psychoactive substances, making them feel more relaxed after use, escaping from the negative emotions of stress. Alcohol possesses a double mechanism, on the one hand, it reduces anxiety and, on the other hand, it acts as a stressor, activating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis [8] [10].…”

Those workers most vulnerable to pressure tend to suffer from scarce social and personal resources with which to respond adaptively to stress. In this case, the effects of psychoactive substances may exceed the stressed worker's positive expectations. Thus, the aim is to analyze the scientific evidence on the relationship between drug abuse and workplace stress, based on an integrative review of the literature. Data were collected in February 2016 from the databases of the Virtual Health Library and PubMed. The final sample of 16 articles was divided into two categories: alcohol and drugs abuse in professions with high degree of psychosocial hazards and risks, and alcohol and drugs abuse for workplace stress in other professions. A relationship between precarious conditions, the nature of the work and its influence on drug abuse could be seen. However, other variables may strengthen psychoactive drug use as a coping strategy for stress.
