Abstract

Substance abuse is associated with a host of harmful consequences to the substance user as well as other individuals and society as a whole. Although harm is an integral component of substance abuse, there is a dearth of research that investigates the relationship between harm and substance use problems. The goal of this study was to explore recovering substance users' retrospective perceptions of harm caused to self and others during periods of substance abuse and the resulting association with the development of problem awareness and treatment perspectives. The present study found that perceptions of harming children demonstrated a significant impact on adults' substance use problem awareness and treatment optimism. Perceived harm caused to a child during periods of substance abuse was associated with increased substance use problem awareness and treatment optimism. Findings suggest that harming children as a consequence of adult substance abuse may play an impactful role on adults' recovery process. Implications for future research are discussed.

儿童对成人物质使用问题意识和治疗乐观主义的影响:伤害的作用。
药物滥用会给药物使用者以及其他个人和整个社会带来一系列有害后果。虽然伤害是药物滥用的一个组成部分,但缺乏调查伤害与药物使用问题之间关系的研究。本研究的目的是探讨药物使用者在药物滥用期间对自己和他人造成伤害的回顾性认知,以及由此产生的问题意识和治疗观点的发展之间的关系。本研究发现,伤害儿童的认知对成人的物质使用问题意识和治疗乐观态度有显著影响。在药物滥用期间对儿童造成的感知伤害与增加的药物使用问题意识和治疗乐观主义有关。研究结果表明,成人药物滥用对儿童的伤害可能对成人的康复过程产生影响。讨论了对未来研究的启示。
