Abstract

This qualitative study examined women assuming leadership roles in Oxford Houses, which are communal, democratically run recovery settings for substance use disorder. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 women Oxford House leaders who shared their thoughts and experiences on leadership. Several themes emerged from qualitative data analysis, most notably that stepping up and accepting a leadership role in Oxford House had a positive effect on self-esteem, which is vital to women with a history of substance abuse. Barriers to leadership were also identified such as negative interpersonal relationships with other women. A number of methods mentioned to increase the number of women leaders included: developing workshops, providing positive encouragement, and accessing existing female role models. The implications of this study are discussed.

牛津之家的女性领袖
牛津之家是一种社区性、民主管理的药物使用障碍康复机构,这项定性研究考察了在牛津之家担任领导职务的女性。研究人员对 10 名牛津之家的女性领导者进行了半结构化访谈,她们分享了自己对领导力的看法和经验。定性数据分析得出了几个主题,其中最值得注意的是,在牛津之家担任领导职务对自尊心有积极影响,而自尊心对有药物滥用史的女性至关重要。此外,还发现了领导力的障碍,如与其他女性的消极人际关系。为增加女性领导者的人数,研究人员提到了一些方法,其中包括:举办讲习班、提供积极的鼓励以及接触现有的女性榜样。本文讨论了本研究的意义。
