摘要

从抑郁中恢复包括重新控制和重塑自我的积极过程。抗抑郁药物可以在康复中发挥关键作用,但这些药物及其效果也可能与依赖感和自我丧失有关,同时与社会规范,包括性别角色相冲突。在这些冲突中,男性可能在某些方面更容易受到伤害,因为男性主导地位要求独立和自我控制。患者对处方抗抑郁药物治疗方案的高依从性表明,为了改善治疗效果,必须更好地克服这些社会文化和认知障碍。本研究对六名男性进行了一对一的访谈,这些男性讲述了他们的抑郁和抗抑郁药经历,并对数据进行了二次主题分析,以探讨他们在药物使用方面遇到的困难,特别是与这些男性重新定义自我和行使代理有关的困难。分析揭示了三个主题:改变化身和现实的感觉,对依赖的担忧,以及男性角色的矛盾本质。这表明,增加男性在治疗方案方面的能动性,以及考虑男性理想的控制和责任,可以改善抗抑郁药的使用体验。然而,讨论还建议将药物使用纳入治疗模式,挑战男性角色和身份中不太健康的方面,并允许男性特征的多样性。公众意义声明:抗抑郁药物治疗方案的依从性通常很差,患者对其使用持保留态度。这些困难包括与自我意识和性别角色等身份认同有关的困难。男性在使用抗抑郁药方面的冲突可以从男性规范的角度来理解,而根据这些规范设计的治疗模式可以改善男性抑郁症患者的治疗效果。

Exploring difficulties in men’s experience of self and agency during antidepressant use.
Recovery from depression involves active processes of taking back control and reclaiming the self. Antidepressant medication can play a critical role in recovery, yet these medications and their effects can also become associated with feelings of dependency and loss of self, whilst conflicting with social norms, including gender roles. Men may be vulnerable in particular ways to these conflicts because of a dominant masculinity that demands independence and self-control. High levels of non-adherence to prescribed antidepressant regimens in patient populations points to the importance of better navigating these socio-cultural and cognitive barriers in order to improve treatment outcomes. This study draws from one-on-one interviews with six men who speak about their experience of depression and antidepressants, and conducts a secondary thematic analysis of the data to explore the difficulties experienced around medication use, in particular in relation to these men’s redefinition of self, and exercise of agency. The analysis exposed three themes: feelings of altered embodiment and reality, concerns about dependency, and the ambivalent nature of masculine roles. It suggests that increased agency for men with regards to their therapeutic regimen, and consideration of masculine ideals of control and responsibility, could improve the experience of antidepressant use. However, the discussion also recommends the integration of medication use within treatment models that challenge less healthy aspects of male roles and identities, and allow for a diversity of masculinities. Public significance statement: Adherence to antidepressant regimens is frequently poor, and patients express reservations around their use. These include difficulties related to sense of self, and identities such as gender roles. Men’s conflicts around antidepressant use can be understood in the light of masculine norms, and treatment models designed to work with and around these norms could improve treatment outcomes for depression in male clients.

期刊介绍: Psychology of Men & Masculinity is devoted to the dissemination of research, theory, and clinical scholarship that advances the psychology of men and masculinity. This discipline is defined broadly as the study of how boys" and men"s psychology is influenced and shaped by both sex and gender, and encompasses both the study of biological sex differences and similarities as well as of the social construction of gender. We are interested in work that arises from applied fields, such as clinical, counseling, and school psychology, and foundational areas such as social, developmental, and cognitive psychology, and the study of emotions. We welcome research using diverse methodologies, including both quantitative and qualitative approaches.
