Hope is commonly divided into two constructs: agency, defined as goal-directed energy, and pathways, defined as the ability to create paths to a goal. To date, only two studies have examined the utility of hope in substance abuse recovery, and the present investigation buildings on this small literature by assessing hope beliefs within a larger and more diverse sample of adults in recovery. This study examined how two hope constructs of agency and pathways related to substance use abstinence among 90 new residents of communal-living recovery homes (i.e., Oxford Houses) who completed two waves of data assessment. Results indicated that agency scores significantly predicted alcohol use at Wave 1 but pathway scores failed to predict drug or alcohol use at this time point. Additionally, agency and pathway scores predicted drug (but not alcohol use) at an 8-month follow-up assessment. These findings indicated that participants' hope may be linked to substance use at later stages of recovery. In addition, these results suggested a stronger relationship between hope and drug as opposed to alcohol use at this time point. Implications for substance abuse recovery are discussed.
能动性，被定义为目标导向的能量；途径，被定义为创造实现目标路径的能力。迄今为止，仅有两项研究考察了希望在药物滥用康复中的效用，而本调查通过在更大且更多样化的康复成年人群体样本中评估希望信念，在此少量文献基础上展开研究。本研究考察了能动性和途径这两种希望构成要素与90名居住在集体生活康复之家（即牛津之家）的新居民的药物使用戒断情况之间的关系，这些居民完成了两轮数据评估。结果表明，能动性得分在第1波显著预测了酒精使用，但途径得分在该时间点未能预测药物或酒精使用。此外，能动性和途径得分在8个月的随访评估中预测了药物使用（但不是酒精使用）。这些发现表明，参与者的希望可能与康复后期的药物使用有关。此外，这些结果表明在该时间点，希望与药物使用的关系比与酒精使用的关系更强。文中讨论了对药物滥用康复的启示。
