摘要

本研究的目的是了解从物质使用障碍中恢复的老年人如何经历从面对面到虚拟12步会议的过渡。我们采访了11位年龄在50岁以上的老年人，他们自称是12步计划的成员。参与者完成了一项在线调查，包括评估抑郁、焦虑、社交孤立和生活质量的标准化措施。采访中出现了三个主题:项目的重要性;技术的前景与局限;和关心他人。参与者对小组的高度投入使他们能够迅速适应虚拟会议。参与者描述了他们对无法完成这种转变的小组成员的担忧。在这项研究中，老年人很快适应了虚拟康复小组。参与者在小组活动期间获得的社会支持，无论是虚拟的还是面对面的，都可能起到缓冲作用，保护他们免受大流行的孤立影响。

Exploring the impact of COVID-19 on older adults in 12-step programs

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to understand how older adults in recovery from substance use disorders experienced the transition from in-person to virtual 12-step meetings. We interviewed 11 older adults (age 50+) who self-identified as being members of 12-step programs. Participants completed an online survey including standardized measures assessing depression, anxiety, social isolation, and quality of life. Three themes emerged from interviews: Importance of the program; Promises and Limits of Technology; and Concern for Others. Participants’ high level of commitment to their groups enabled them to adapt quickly to virtual meetings. Participants described their concerns about members of their groups who were unable to make this transition. Older adults in this study adapted quickly to virtual recovery groups. The social support participants received during groups, whether virtual or in person, may have acted as a buffer protecting them from the isolative effects of the pandemic.
