This study utilized a stress-process model to examine the impact of having a female family member with substance use or co-occurring substance use and mental disorders on family caregivers' depressive symptomatology. Participants were 82 women receiving substance abuse treatment and the family member providing the most social support for each woman. Greater caregiver depressive symptomatology was predicted by greater care recipient emotional problems, less care recipient social support, and poor caregiver health. Implications of findings for treatment and future research are discussed.
本研究采用压力过程模型,以检验家中有女性家庭成员存在物质使用障碍或同时存在物质使用障碍与精神障碍对家庭照顾者抑郁症状的影响。研究参与者为82名接受药物滥用治疗的女性及其为每位女性提供最多社会支持的家庭成员。受照顾者情绪问题较多、受照顾者获得的社会支持较少以及照顾者健康状况较差,预示着照顾者的抑郁症状更严重。本文还讨论了研究结果对治疗及未来研究的启示。
