Abstract

The study examined how friendships among women in recovery from substance use disorders are related to individual resources (e.g., social support, self-esteem, and hope) and empowerment (e.g., power and optimism). Findings from a path analysis of 244 women in recovery revealed that friendships among women were positively related to individual resources; that is, the stronger the relationships with other women, the higher women perceived their resources to be. Further, individual-level resources mediated the relations between friendships and empowerment, with higher levels of individual resources related to higher levels of empowerment constructs of power and optimism. Results point to the importance of developing and sustaining empowering relationships for women in recovery. Findings have implications for gender-specific treatment practices and recommendations impacting substance use recovery outcomes.

女性友谊:个人层面资源的基础及其与权力和乐观的联系。

该研究调查了从药物使用障碍中恢复的女性之间的友谊如何与个人资源(如社会支持、自尊和希望)和赋权(如权力和乐观)相关。对244名康复女性的路径分析发现，女性之间的友谊与个人资源呈正相关;也就是说，与其他女性的关系越强，女性认为自己拥有的资源就越高。此外，个人层面的资源介导了友谊和授权之间的关系，较高水平的个人资源与较高水平的权力和乐观的授权结构相关。结果表明，发展和维持赋权关系对妇女康复的重要性。研究结果对影响药物使用恢复结果的针对性别的治疗做法和建议具有启示意义。
