Abstract

ABSTRACT Alcoholism can have deep and enduring negative outcomes for the close relatives of problem drinkers. This qualitative study explored Al-Anon's (a 12-step mutual-help group for relatives) role in enhancing resilience among its members. Data from 2 focus groups (n = 5 and n = 3, respectively) and 2 individual interviews were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Participants described increased positive adaptation in terms of personal growth and enhanced functioning. The findings indicated that Al-Anon plays a role in fostering resilience among members by providing protective factors. The implications were discussed in the context of bolstering clinical interventions.
“一种新的生活方式”:匿名者协会如何影响恢复力:定性描述
酗酒会对酗酒者的近亲产生深远而持久的负面影响。本定性研究探讨了Al-Anon(一个为亲属提供的12步互助小组)在增强其成员的复原力方面的作用。采用解释性现象学分析对来自2个焦点小组(分别为n = 5和n = 3)和2个个人访谈的数据进行分析。参与者从个人成长和增强的功能方面描述了积极适应的增加。研究结果表明,Al-Anon通过提供保护性因素,在培养成员的复原力方面发挥了作用。在加强临床干预的背景下讨论了其含义。
