This study examines the relationship between social support, coping resources and codependence in the wives of individuals with drug and alcohol dependence. Thirty male individuals each with drug and alcohol dependence were assessed for severity of addiction by Addiction Severity Index (ASI). Their wives were administered Social Support Scale (SSS). Coping Resources Inventory (CRI) and Codependence Assessment Questionnaire (CAQ). Of the sixty patients, forty nine were found to be codependent. On ASI, the codependent group had more impairment in the financial and the legal domains of the husbands whereas non codependent group had more impairment in the psychological domain. Codependent wives had lower coping resources and social support. On multivariate analysis, three variables were found to be significant predictors of the development of codependence in the wives. These were (i) husbands'duration of drug or alcohol abuse, (ii) total CRI score and (Hi) husbands' ASI employment score.
本研究考察了社会支持、应对资源和药物及酒精依赖患者妻子的相互依赖之间的关系。三十名男性个体,每位均有药物和酒精依赖,通过成瘾严重程度指数 (ASI) 评估成瘾严重程度。他们的妻子接受了社会支持量表 (SSS)、应对资源量表 (CRI) 和相互依赖评估问卷 (CAQ) 的评估。在六十名患者中,四十九名被发现存在相互依赖。在 ASI 上,相互依赖组的丈夫在财务和法律领域的损害程度更高,而非相互依赖组的丈夫在心理领域的损害程度更高。相互依赖的妻子应对资源和社会支持较低。在多变量分析中,发现有三个变量是妻子相互依赖发展的显著预测因素。这些因素是:(i) 丈夫滥用药物或酒精的时间,(ii) 总 CRI 评分,和 (Hi) 丈夫的 ASI 就业评分。
