Abstract

Chemical substance abuse remains a major health and social problem globally and in South Africa. Considering the drug-use-related challenges faced by South Africa’s youth, there is a need to design and implement robust interventions to mitigate the impact of chemical substance use. Social workers are not prepared enough to provide drug-dependency treatment to persons with substance abuse challenges. To address this issue, a qualitative research approach was adopted with seven participants who were selected using the non-probability technique of purposive sampling. Data were analysed using Tesch’s eight steps and verified using Guba and Lincoln’s model to test the trustworthiness of the data. Ethical considerations were adhered to throughout the study. The findings highlight that social workers need urgent intensive training and resources to execute their tasks effectively in the field of substance abuse. Keywords: social worker, adolescents, chemical substance abuse, social support
我们准备好了吗?社会工作者为有药物滥用问题的人提供社会支持的准备情况
化学药物滥用仍然是全球和南非的一个重大健康和社会问题。考虑到南非青年面临的与毒品使用有关的挑战,有必要设计和实施强有力的干预措施,以减轻化学物质使用的影响。社会工作者没有足够的准备向有药物滥用挑战的人提供药物依赖治疗。为了解决这一问题,采用了定性研究的方法,7名参与者被选择使用非概率技术的目的抽样。使用Tesch的八步分析数据,并使用Guba和Lincoln的模型进行验证,以测试数据的可信度。在整个研究过程中都坚持伦理考虑。研究结果强调,社会工作者迫切需要强化培训和资源,以有效地执行他们在药物滥用领域的任务。关键词:社会工作者,青少年,化学药物滥用,社会支持
