Abstract:

Due to the speed at which the crack has earned place in society and because it has been considered, nowadays, a major social problem, this work aimed to analyze the social representations assigned to the users of crack and its use in the perspective of users, their families and health professionals. The study was conducted according to the referential of the Theory of Central Core. The survey was conducted in four CAPS, where thirty crack users, twenty relatives and thirty health professionals were interviewed. Data collection used an interview with evocative questions. The data were organized and processed by the EVOC software and the socio demographic data were analyzed by the software SPSS. In the group of users, the most significant representations regarding crack relate to the issue of dependency, as well as in the group of relatives, although using different terms. In turn, health professionals held to the motivation for the consumption and the consequences that this use entails. It was found that the groups, in general, define crack as a drug that destroys the person in various spheres of life and is highly addictive. About inductive term crack users, the most significant representations concern the care, focusing on the need of assistance this user has, given that its destructive power hinders its abandonment. However, there were some specifics among groups. The results indicate the hopelessness of users finding support from people to confront this drug. Similarly, the family presented negative evocations, although not directed to the user, but to changes in the family caused by the problems arising from the use of crack. In professional discourses, the difficulty in daily contact with these users prevailed, which limit its work with them. It was noted, finally, the absence of changes prospect with regard to the future of crack users between the groups and a noticeable disbelief in relation to their recovery. These results indicate important concerns, such as the challenges faced by health professionals concerning their performance against the dependence of the crack and the difficulties of treatment and prevention measures. Therefore, it is expected that this study provides support for establishing future studies in social psychology and mental health, and the creation of new shares that increase attention to these users, as well as their adherence to treatment.<br>Pela velocidade com que o crack tem ganhado lugar na sociedade e por ser considerado, hoje, como um grande problema social, este trabalho tomou como objeto de estudo as representações sociais acerca do usuário de crack. O postulado da Teoria das Representações Sociais é apreendido pelas diversas áreas de conhecimento, tornando-se eixo de pesquisas importantes para a revelação da realidade, possibilitando a investigação de fenômenos com abrangência social, como a drogadição. Desse modo, a pesquisa buscou analisar as representações sociais acerca do usuário de crack atribuídas por usuários em acompanhamento, familiares e profissionais que os acompanham no CAPS. Pretendeu-se, ainda, analisar a relação entre essas representações e as práticas do serviço do CAPS no acompanhamento dos usuários de crack. O estudo com abordagem quanti-qualitativa foi desenvolvido de acordo com o referencial da Teoria do Núcleo Central. A pesquisa foi realizada em quatro CAPS, sendo três localizados no interior do estado de Sergipe e um na capital, Aracaju. Participaram do estudo trinta usuários de crack, trinta profissionais e vinte familiares. Para coleta de dados, elaborou-se um roteiro para uma entrevista aberta com temas norteadores. Foi utilizada ainda, a técnica de evocação livre. Para análise de evocações, os dados foram organizados e processados através do software EVOC. Para análise discursiva foi utilizado o software Alceste, desenvolvido por Max Reinert. Os resultados da pesquisa servirão como contribuição para estudos futuros na área da psicologia social e da saúde mental, visando um maior entendimento da substância psicoativa crack, suas implicações e repercussões.

Abstract:

O consumo de crack tem se constituído numa problemática de saúde pública pelas diversas consequências individuais, familiares e sociais que provoca. O objetivo desse estudo foi investigar a relação entre a perspectiva de suporte familiar de usuários de crack, de familiares e de técnicos sociais do Programa ATITUDE, analisando as possíveis implicações dessas percepções na assistência aos usuários e seus familiares. Optou-se por desenvolver a dissertação na modalidade artigos. No primeiro artigo, foi realizada uma revisão narrativa baseada em 23 artigos pesquisados nas bases de dados BVS, Scielo Periódicos e ScienceDirect, no intuito de avaliar as contribuições dos estudos às estratégias públicas de enfrentamento ao crack. Os critérios adotados para a seleção dos artigos foram: 1) artigos sobre "crack e políticas públicas", publicados nos últimos cinco anos e, 2) estudos com a população ou sobre a política pública brasileira. Como resultado foram incluídos nove artigos epidemiológicos, três sobre clinica das drogas, três sobre contextos de uso e violência, sete sobre representação social e mídia e um sobre família. Aspectos como mudança na assistência comunitária, políticas intersetoriais, vigilância e controle epidemiológicos, melhor integração entre os organismos que trabalham para a redução da demanda e aumento de pesquisas clínicas, foram ressaltados como importantes para a proposição de políticas públicas. O segundo artigo vem atender ao objetivo principal do estudo, sendo realizado com 62 participantes. Inicialmente foi aplicado em 46 usuários de crack, vinculados ao Programa ATITUDE, o Inventário de Percepção de Suporte Familiar (ISPF), que apresentou uma elevada consistência interna (α=0,88). Na segunda fase, foi realizada uma entrevista semi-estruturada com oito usuários selecionados entre os 46 iniciais, quatro familiares e 12 técnicos sociais do programa. A média de idade desses usuários foi de 30 anos (DP=6,98), cujo perfil sociodemográfico remete a usuários, em sua maioria: não casados (78,3%), que residiam sozinhos (52,2%), com ensino fundamental incompleto (63%), advindos de famílias sem convivência entre os pais (65,2%) e que responderam ao IPSF com referência à família de origem (87%). Foram encontradas correlações significativas entre morar sozinho e ter uma baixa percepção de suporte familiar (r=0,324; p=0,05). A análise por fator, também evidenciou uma correlação significativa entre o Fator 1 (afetivo-consistente) e tipo de família (r=0,460; p=0,01) e com quem reside (r=0,309; p=0,05). Na etapa qualitativa, foi realizada uma análise de conteúdo temática, revelando-se, em linhas gerais, quatro temáticas principais para usuários e familiares, quais sejam: influência familiar, relacionamento familiar, lidar com problemas e expressão de sentimento. Para os técnicos, foram identificadas outras quatro temáticas: contribuição familiar, atividades terapêuticas, abordagem à família e relato de experiência. A predominância da percepção de um baixo suporte familiar (t (44) = -4,428; p<0,05), evidenciada na análise quantitativa, foi consoante com a fala dos demais participantes durante a entrevista. Em consonância com a literatura, neste estudo também se constatou a predominância do apoio materno e a influência dos pares se sobrepondo à da família na relação dos usuários com o crack. Discute-se, à luz da Teoria Social Cognitiva, a influência que a autoeficácia familiar e a modelação social exercem sobre o consumo de substâncias. Essa reflexão nos revela a importância de se efetivar uma proposição já contemplada na Política Nacional de Assistência Social, que remete a um olhar mais sistêmico sobre a questão do consumo do crack, contemplando tanto as necessidades do usuário como de seus familiares. Acredita-se que os paradigmas poderão ser aprimorados no sentido de favorecer novos modelos de políticas na atenção aos usuários de drogas, em especial de crack.<br>Crack usage has constituted a public health problem by the various individual, family and social consequences it causes. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between family support perspective of crack users, family and social technicians from the ATTITUDE program, analyzing the possible implications of these perceptions on the assistance for users and their families. We chose to develop the thesis in the format of articles. In the first article, we reviewed narratives based on 23 articles surveyed in the VHL databases Scielo Journals and Science Direct, in order to assess the contributions of these studies to public coping strategies with crack. The criteria adopted for the selection of items were: 1) articles on "crack and public policy," published in the last five years, and 2) studies with the population or on the Brazilian public policy. As a result, it was included nine epidemiological articles, three on clinical drug, three on contexts of use and violence, seven on social representation and media and one about family. Aspects such as change in Community assistance, intersectional policies, surveillance and epidemiological control, better integration between organizations working to reduce demand and increase in clinical research, were highlighted as important in proposing public policies. The second article is an answer to the main objective of the study, being conducted with 62 participants. Initially, it was applied to 46 crack users, linked to the Program ATTITUDE. Inventory of Family Support Perception (ISPF), which showed a high internal consistency (α = 0.88). In the second phase, a semi-structured interview with eight selected users was conducted between the 46 initial four families and 12 social workers program. The average age of these users was 30 years (SD = 6.98), whose socio-demographic profile refers to users, mostly: not married (78.3%), who lived alone (52.2%), with incomplete primary education (63%) coming from families without coexistence between parents (65.2%) who responded to the IPSF with reference to the family of origin (87%). Significant correlations were found between living alone and having a low perception of family support (r = 0.324; p = 0.05). The factor analysis also showed a significant correlation between Factor 1 (affective-consistent), and family (r = 0.460; p = 0.01) and with whom resides (r = 0.309; p = 0.05). In the qualitative stage, a content analysis was performed, revealing themselves, in general, four main themes for users and families, such as: family influence, family relationships, dealing with problems and expression of feelings. For technicians, four other themes were identified: family contribution, therapeutic activities, approach to family and experience report. The predominance of the perception of a low family support (t (44) = -4.428, p <0.05), as evidenced in the quantitative analysis, was consonant with the speech of the other participants during the interview. In line with the literature, this study also found the prevalence of maternal support and peer influence overlapping the familys as observed in the link of users with crack. It is argued in the light of Social Cognitive Theory, the influence family self-efficacy and social modeling have on substance use. This reflection reveals the importance of executing a proposition already included in the National Policy for Social Assistance, which refers to a more systemic view on the issue of crack consumption, covering both user needs and their families. It is believed that the paradigms can be improved in order to encourage new policy models in the care of drug users, especially crack.

Abstract:

Existem no Brasil aproximadamente 370 mil usuários de cocaína fumada nas capitais nacionais e há cerca de dez anos o uso de crack e/ou cocaína atinge quatro em cada dez adolescentes brasileiros em situação de rua, gerando diversas consequências individuais, familiares e sociais, que fazem deste fenômeno um grave problema de saúde pública. O presente estudo foi realizado em três momentos que se consubstanciaram em um capítulo de livro, um artigo de revisão e um artigo empírico. O capítulo teve como objetivo a contextualização do panorama epidemiológico do consumo de drogas na sociedade brasileira, perpassando por uma caracterização geral do termo e suas especificidades, assim como uma reflexão acerca desse fenômeno à luz da Teoria Social Cognitiva. Discute-se que a noção de reciprocidade triádica que perpassa toda a concepção sociocognitivista, vem contribuindo para uma leitura dinâmica e sistêmica do consumo de drogas, que avança para além de uma compreensão puramente individual, seja biológica ou comportamental. O artigo de revisão de literatura foi sobre o Modelo Transteórico de Mudança (MTT) e o suporte familiar no cuidado ao usuário de crack, auxiliando na discussão sobre as estratégias para o lidar com dependência química. Neste foram analisados trabalhos que discorrem sobre as contribuições do Modelo Transteórico de Mudança no tratamento do comportamento adicto e a importância do entendimento sobre os estágios motivacionais e processos de mudança pelo usuário, família e equipe técnica, exigindo a atenção dos profissionais quanto ao entendimento e tratamento dos comportamentos de risco, demandando por sua vez a reformulação de estratégias de tratamento e cuidado para usuários que se encontram em qualquer estágio. O artigo empírico que se seguiu à revisão, abordou o tema central da dissertação e objetivou investigar a influência da percepção do suporte familiar, da crença de autoeficácia e do estágio motivacional do usuário de crack na adesão ao cuidado oferecido no Programa ATITUDE. Foi um estudo misto que primeiramente investigou 60 usuários de ambos os sexos que estavam acolhidos nas modalidades de assistência: apoio e intensivo. Na segunda fase foram entrevistados cinco participantes de ambos os sexos. Foram utilizados os seguintes instrumentos: Inventário de Percepção de Suporte Familiar (IPSF); Escala de Autoeficácia Geral Percebida (AEGP); University of Rhode Island Change Assesment Scale Escala URICA e entrevista semi-estruturada. Pela extração do alpha de Chronbach foram obtidos indicadores insatisfatórios de consistência interna das escalas AEGP e URICA, e elevados para o IPSF. A discussão perpassa pelo perfil singular da amostra, já que muitos dos usuários vivem na rua, com uma multiplicidade de carências de cuidados básicos e que, mesmo apresentando algum nível de escolarização, podem ter experienciado algum nível de incompreensão no sentido do que demandava a atividade em cinco alternativas de escolha, tendendo a se posicionar com certa facilidade quando a temática foi mais concreta, como no caso da família, tendo também essa escala um número de alternativas de escolha menor que as demais. Talvez um quantitativo maior de usuários pudesse diluir essas inconsistências encontradas nas duas primeiras escalas. Por fim, as entrevistas permitiram evidenciar a importância dos vínculos familiares para uma melhor compreensão do fenômeno do uso do crack em sua multiplicidade questionando e propondo um olhar ampliado sobre a família, como importante fonte de apoio aos usuários na continuidade de seu cuidado.<br>There are approximately 370 thousand users of cocaine smoked in Brazil in the national capitals, and for the last ten years the use of crack and / or cocaine has reached four out of every ten Brazilian adolescents in the street, generating a number of individual, family and social consequences. Of this phenomenon is a serious public health problem. The present study was carried out in three moments that consubstantiated in a chapter of book, a review article and an empirical article. The chapter aimed to contextualize the epidemiological panorama of drug use in Brazilian society, through a general characterization of the term and its specificities, as well as a reflection on this phenomenon in the light of Cognitive Social Theory. It is argued that the notion of triadic reciprocity that permeates the entire sociocognitive conception has been contributing to a dynamic and systemic reading of drug consumption, which goes beyond a purely individual understanding, be it biological or behavioral. The literature review article was about the Transtheoric Model of Change (MTT) and the family support in crack user care, helping to discuss strategies for dealing with chemical dependency. In this paper we analyze the contributions of the Transtheoric Model of Change in the treatment of addicted behavior and the importance of understanding the motivational stages and processes of change by the user, family and technical team, demanding the professionals' attention regarding the understanding and treatment Of risky behaviors, which in turn require the reformulation of treatment and care strategies for users who are at any stage. The empirical article that followed the review, addressed the central theme of the dissertation and aimed to investigate the influence of the perception of family support, the belief of self efficacy and the motivational stage of crack users in adherence to the care offered in the ATITUDE Program. It was a mixed study that first investigated 60 users of both sexes that were hosted in the assistance modalities: support and intensive. In the second phase, five participants of both genders were interviewed. The following instruments were used: Family Support Perception Inventory (IPSF); Perceived General Self-Efficacy Scale (AEGP); University of Rhode Island Change Assesment Scale - URICA scale and semi-structured interview. By extracting the Chronbach alpha, we obtained unsatisfactory indicators of internal consistency of the AEGP and URICA scales, and high for the IPSF. The discussion is based on the unique profile of the sample, since many of the users live on the street, with a multitude of basic care deficits and, even with some level of schooling, may have experienced some level of misunderstanding in the sense of what the activity demanded In five alternatives of choice, tending to position themselves with certain ease when the theme was more concrete, as in the case of the family, also having this scale a number of alternatives of choice smaller than the others. Perhaps a larger number of users could dilute these inconsistencies found on the first two scales. Finally, the interviews allowed to highlight the importance of family ties for a better understanding of the phenomenon of crack use in its multiplicity, questioning and proposing an extended view of the family, as an important source of support to users in the continuity of their care.

What values are incorporated by its members? How do such groups achieve their primary goal of providing support to addicts’ family members? This research was conducted based on the use of semi-structured interviews as well as a bibliographic study on the structure of these groups, an ethnographic analysis on the experience within the Nar-Anon groups considering the material collected through the interviews alongside the researcher's own experience over eight years of attendance in two rooms of the brotherhood in the city, between 2008 and 2016.Therefore, emphasis is placed on the sense attributed by the group to recovery and spirituality for the construction of a new way of live coexisting with the chemical dependency syndrome. The approach adopted here will be that of Magnani, for whom looking close up and within (2002) allows one the apprehension of behaviors and meanings, for that matter, turning to a look from outside and from a distance for a broadened understanding of these groups as a totality.

Esta pesquisa optou por entrevistas semi-estruturadas bem como de um estudo bibliográfico sobre a estrutura desses grupos, uma análise etnográfica sobre a vivência dentro dos grupos de Nar-Anon a partir do material coletado através das entrevistas bem como da experiência da própria pesquisadora ao longo de oito anos de participação em duas salas da irmandade na cidade, entre 2008 e 2016. Assim, busca-se ênfase no sentido, atribuído pelo grupo, à recuperação e espiritualidade para a construção de uma nova maneira de viver dentro da convivência com a síndrome da dependência química. A perspectiva adotada será a de Magnani, para quem o olhar de perto de dentro (2002), permite a apreensão de comportamentos e significados, para aí sim, se passar a um olhar de fora e de longe para a compreensão destes grupos enquanto totalidade. Autores Como Foucault, Le Breton, Goffman, Novaes e Campbell propiciam um olhar crítico sobre o material coletado

Abstract:

As comunidades terapêuticas para dependentes químicos são importantes recursos, descritos pela Secretária Nacional Antidrogas, na rede de atenção aos transtornos relacionados ao abuso de substâncias psicoativas. A equipe profissional nestas comunidades terapêuticas é representada, principalmente, por conselheiros em dependência química. É consenso entre os especialistas, pela complexidade desta problemática, que o tratamento deve abordar o paciente em seu contexto sociofamiliar (Stanton e Todd, 1990). O presente estudo tem como objetivo apresentar e avaliar um programa de tratamento e prevenção para dependentes químicos em comunidades terapêuticas com foco em seu contexto sociofamiliar, por nós denominado TRA: terapia de rede para adictos. Um programa destinado aos conselheiros em dependência química, que trabalham nestas comunidades. Fundamentados no pensamento-novo-paradigmático, de Esteves de Vasconcellos (2002), e na representação social, de Moscovici (2003), utilizamos como método uma pesquisa interventiva, com delineamento qualitativo construtivista, baseado em Pakman (1995), o que significa, no contexto deste trabalho, que o modelo de TRA foi construído em conjunto com os participantes: conselheiros e pacientes da comunidade terapêutica na qual realizamos a pesquisa. As principais técnicas empregadas foram: a família de origem do conselheiro e o discurso do sujeito coletivo (DSC), de acordo com Lefèvre e Lefèvre (2003). Para a análise dos resultados, usamos a técnica de triangulação de dados, segundo Denzin e Lincoln (2000). Os resultados obtidos contribuíram para conhecermos as representações sociais dos participantes sobre suas famílias e, sistemicamente, compreendermos os múltiplos aspectos envolvidos na complexidade do ciclo da drogadicção. As téc nicas interventivas auxiliaram no resgate dos aspectos resilientes e das competências dos sistemas familiares e no empoderamento da comunidade terapêutica, dos pacientes e de suas famílias, para lidar com os problemas da dependência química. Estas técnicas também colaboraram para a compreensão e a abordagem da imprevisibilidade ocorrida, em vários âmbitos, no desenvolvimento da pesquisa. As diferentes representações sociais nos DSC foram analisadas sob o olhar da intersubjetividade, proporcionando uma rica troca entre os participantes. A coparticipação, na elaboração deste modelo, contribuiu, principalmente, para a coconstrução de um novo saber em prevenção e tratamento para as comunidades terapêuticas, com um olhar mais amplo e globalizador, para o sistema familiar e outros sistemas envolvidos no problema da drogadicção<br>Therapeutic communities for chemical dependents are important resources, described by National Antidrug Secretary, to the network of care for disorders related to the abuse of psychoactive substances. The professional team in these therapeutic communities and represented, mainly, by advisers in chemical dependency. There is a consensus among the experts, the complexity of the problem, that treatment must approach the patient in their family environment (Stanton and Todd, 1990). The purpose of the present study is to present and assess a program of prevention and treatment for chemical dependents in therapeutic communities with a focus on their family environment, we called TRA: therapy of network for addiction. A program for counselor in chemical dependency, working in these communities. Based on thought-new-paradigmatic, Esteves de Vasconcellos (2002), and the social representation of Moscovici (2003), we used the method an interventional research, with qualitative design constructivist, based in Pakman (1995), which means, in the context of this work, that the model of TRA was built together with the participants, counselors, and patients in the therapeutic community where we have the research. The main techniques used were: the family of origin of the counselor and the collective subject discourse (DSC), according to Lefèvre and Lefèvre (2003). For the analysis of the results, we used the technique of data triangulation, second Denzin and Lincoln (2000). The results contributed to know the social representations of the participants on their families, and systemically, we understand the many aspects involved in the complexity of the cycle of drug-addiction. The interventional techniques helped with the rescue of the aspects resilient and the skills of the family systems and the empowerment of the therapeutic community, patients and their families to approach with the problems of chemical dependency. These techniques also collaborated for the understanding and approach of unpredictability that occurred in a number of areas in the development of the research. The different social representations in DSC were analyzed under the gaze of the intersubjectivity, providing a rich Exchange of views between the participants. The participation in colaboration, in drawing up this model contributed mainly to build together a new knowledge in treatment and prevention for the therapeutic communities, with a broader perspective and global vision, for the family system and other systems involved in the problem of drug-addiction

Abstract:

Abstract Substance misuse is a global phenomenon. However, little is known about substance misuse issues in Islamic nations or about the provision of preventative and rehabilitative services in such nations. This thesis explores the legal context of such services in the Maldives and pays particular attention to tensions between the formal policies of the National Narcotics Control Bureau and clinical practice. Findings are drawn from a review of government and service policy documents, five semi-structured individual interviews with clinical practitioners and senior administrative staff from rehabilitative services, and a three day focus group workshop with clinical staff. Findings show the lack of awareness of the legal and policy contexts for service provision and the ways in which existing policy frameworks often detract from the forging of therapeutic alliances. The primary concern raised by the analysis is the lack of involvement of clinical staff in policy formation and revision. This contributes to series of tensions and contradictions between official aims for services and the actual provision of these services. Further a range of ethical issues arose as a result of inadequate professional monitoring, training, and peer review. Recommendations are made regarding how these issues should be addressed in order to enhance the Maldivian response to increasing substance misuse.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis is to explore the impact of treatment on male addicts who attend Narcotic Anonymous (NA) meeting between the ages of 45 to 60 years that have been free from drug addiction without relapse in 10 years. The interest is to really understand how the addicts have been impacted and what factors have contributed to their being able to remain free from drug abuse without relapse. The research is a qualitative study. Semi structured interviews based on interview guide that are made up of six open ended questions was used to generate information (Primary data) from eight interviewees. The data generated was analyzed using qualitative content analysis in hermeneutic perspective. Also, Maslow’s need hierarchy theory and early research was used to analyze the data that were generated. It was found that the former addicts experienced improvement in their psychological health identity and social situation. Furthermore, they were impacted by different treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy, environmental therapy and the NA 12-step program. The findings of the study also indicates that the interviewees gained job, education and driving license because of the drug abuse treatment they have undergone. In addition, having a partner, stable family and regular attendance of NA meeting have helped the interviewees to remain free from drug use in 10 years. Furthermore, from the findings, improved psychological health, improved changes in identity and social situation are themes found from the coding and categorization from qualitative content analysis method. The main theme found is getting new ways of gaining control of addiction in relation to improved psychological health, improved changes in identity and improved social situation.

Abstract:

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR<br>Este estudo tem como objetivo investigar a visão do dependente de drogas sobre o lugar do pai na família. Para tanto, foram realizadas entrevistas com dez internos, do sexo masculino, de uma clínica para tratamento da adicção em Niterói, no Rio de Janeiro. O lugar do pai, de acordo com os entrevistados, foi marcado pela pouca intimidade e pelos extremos da omissão ou autoritarismo. O lugar da mãe, em contraste, foi extremamente valorizado e idealizado pelos entrevistados. Identificamos, na fala dos sujeitos, quatro perfis de pais: autoritário; omisso; amigo e dependente de álcool e/ou outras drogas. Relacionamos, ademais, os desafios da paternidade ao difícil processo de desenvolvimento da identidade masculina. A discussão dos dados é embasada no referencial sistêmico; sendo investigado, portanto, o lugar do pai como interligado aos lugares dos outros integrantes da teia familiar. Concluímos ser muito importante, para a funcionalidade familiar, que o pai possa ocupar um lugar mais próximo dos filhos, tornando mais flexível e equilibrado o posicionamento paterno e materno na família.<br>This study investigates the role of the father in a drug addicts family. To this end interviews were conducted with ten male patients under treatment in a clinic for drug addicts in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro. These interviews revealed several commonalities regarding the fathers in these families: a lack of intimacy, physical absence and authoritarianism. The mother´s role, on the other hand, was highly valued and idealized. Through responses given, we were able to identify four profiles or types of father: the authoritarian father, the absent father, the friend-father and the alcohol/drug-dependent father. Furthermore, we related the challenges of fatherhood to the difficult process of the development of the male identity. The discussion of data is based on systemic theory; therefore, what is being investigated is the role of the father as it relates to the role of other family members. We concluded that, for the family structure to work, it is very important that the father have close contact with the children, contributing to better balance as concerns the paternal and maternal roles in the family.

Abstract:

In an effort to gain more insight into the subjective experience of recovery, and provide a platform for their voices to be heard, this research endeavour focuses on the storied-experiences of recovering addicts as conveyed through life narratives. Through the process of narrative reconstruction, the study will elucidate shifts in meaning-making. The study employed a postmodern social constructionist epistemological lens. Three recovery addicts were recruited from an Ibogaine-assisted rehabilitation centre. Narrative inquiry methodologically navigated this study. A qualitative methodological design was employed. Data was collected using written autobiographical narratives, and semi-structured interviews. Data was analysed using narrative-thematic analysis, which gave rise to six main themes and eight sub-themes. Recovery involved a reconstruction of identity which was informed by shifts in meaning related to love, acceptance, forgiveness, and the acquisition of and identification with new roles. Shifts within their relationship with drugs and the meaning they attached to the accompanying lifestyle, appeared to be vital reinterpretations in their journey. Communal and familial support was identified as a key source of recovery capital. The narratives reflected growth and reparation following addictive stagnation and destruction. Ibogaine was identified as a vital catalyst in the reconstruction of their life narratives. A renegotiation of power and control also informed the transition from addict to recovering addict. Volitional-change was an important feature. Faith and altruism served as important facets in constructing a purposeful recovery narrative. The study allowed for new insights into the experience and meaning of recovery from drug addiction, conveyed through rich idiosyncratic accounts.<br>Mini Dissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2017.<br>Psychology<br>MA<br>Unrestricted

Abstract:

This study is about the use of alcohol and its influence during the recuperation of drug addict patients undergoing treatment. Levels of the use of illegal drugs and alcohol were compared before, during and after the treatment of 82 patients assessed over a one-and-a-half year follow-up study. The results show that after the intervention there is an increase of alcohol use by 50% of the addicts. The 10-13% exhibit excessive levels. The higher alcohol use coincide withthe end of the treatment. This tendency changes later (18 months) into similar levels as the initialones. These results do not allow to consider the aforementioned increase as a confirmationof the substitution hypothesis, that is the alcohol use-redirection towards other more socially tolerated substances.<br>Se estudia la influencia del consumo de alcohol en la recuperación de drogadictos sometidos a tratamiento.

Abstract:

The study at hand explores Greek problematic drug users’ perceptions of the progression of their drug using careers and family responses towards drug affected children in Greece. The methodology of the study entailed the use of semi-structured in depth-interviews. In total, 40 interviews with problematic drug users (PDUs) were conducted as well as 8 interviews with parents of PDUs. Participating drug users were asked to reflect on all stages of their problematic drug using careers, from initial contact with drugs to entering treatment facilities where they were contacted. Furthermore, they were asked to reflect on the role their families played in influencing the progression of those careers and on the impact they felt their drug use had on their families. Parents’ accounts were also collected to provide a fuller picture of the issues in question. The results of the study put forth the vital role of self perception, whether this derives from sense of self through practice or participation in social groups, in relation to drug use onset and escalation. It is suggested that drug use may resemble a learning curve where drug using peers are ascribed the role of ‘aids’. The perception of one’s use as problematic was for the most part related to heroin infringing upon all life domains. Entering treatment was found to be sometimes unrelated to the decision to quit drug use. When the two were synonymous, reported reasons behind such decisions centred on issues of self perception, sense of obligation towards the family and a desire to return to pre-drug use life styles and selves. Reported factors either promoting or hindering change are also discussed. The hugely influential role of the Greek family in the progression of problematic drug using careers is a further proposal made by the current study. The experience of living with addiction in the family home and the reported impact on families is also presented. The specific cultural context of Greece was also shown to be shaping family reactions as well as drug using participants’ choices of course of action and perception of self. The overall suggestion based on the findings of the study is that the experiences of both Greek problematic drug users and Greek families of drug affected relatives form a ‘variform universal’. The conveyed picture is similar to that portrayed in the global literature, albeit coloured by the specific cultural context within which these experiences were lived through.

Abstract:

The rising numbers of young drug abusers in Hong Kong have attracted much concern by the government. Unfortunately, there are few established studies that have been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the existing rehabilitation and treatment programs. The dearth of research in this area can compromise the potential for the improvement of current services and hinder the development of new intervention strategies. The present study aimed to help filling in this gap in the literature through the evaluation of Christian Zheng Sheng College, a school-based rehabilitation program. Across a year of observation, we documented the students’ improvements on a range of outcomes (i.e. self-efficacy, school engagement, civic responsibility, perceived social support and religious coping). We also examined whether the perceived quality of natural mentoring relationships established within Zheng Sheng were related to these changes. Across the four waves, the overall population displayed significant linear growths in all measured outcomes apart from civic responsibility and perceived social support. Results also revealed that the perceived closeness with an identified mentor in Zheng Sheng accounted for differential impact toward youth’s self-efficacy, civic responsibility and perceived social support. Implications of the findings were discussed in particular reference to other drug rehabilitation programs in Hong Kong.<br>published_or_final_version<br>Clinical Psychology<br>Master<br>Master of Social Sciences
