Recent research has begun to examine the early maladaptive schemas of substance abusers, as it is believed that targeting these core beliefs in treatment may result in improved substance use outcomes. One special population that has received scant attention in the research literature, despite high levels of substance use, is airline pilots.
The current study examined the early maladaptive schemas of a sample of airline pilots ( = 64) who were seeking residential treatment for alcohol dependence and whether they differed in early maladaptive schemas from non-pilot substance abusers who were also seeking residential treatment for alcohol dependence ( = 45).
Pre-existing medical records from patients of a residential substance abuse treatment facility were reviewed for the current study.
Of the 18 early maladaptive schemas, results demonstrated that pilots scored higher than non-pilots on the early maladaptive schema of unrelenting standards (high internalized standards of behavior), whereas non-pilots scored higher on insufficient self-control (low frustration tolerance and self-control).
Early maladaptive schemas may be a relevant treatment target for substance abuse treatment seeking pilots and non-pilots.
近期研究已开始探究药物滥用者的早期适应不良图式,因为人们认为在治疗中针对这些核心信念可能会改善药物使用结果。尽管航空飞行员的药物使用水平较高,但在研究文献中却很少受到关注,这是一个特殊群体。
本研究考察了64名因酒精依赖寻求住院治疗的航空飞行员样本的早期适应不良图式,以及他们与同样因酒精依赖寻求住院治疗的非飞行员药物滥用者在早期适应不良图式上是否存在差异(45名)。
本研究回顾了一家住院药物滥用治疗机构患者的既往病历。
在18种早期适应不良图式中,结果表明,飞行员在严苛标准(高度内化的行为标准)这一早期适应不良图式上的得分高于非飞行员,而非飞行员在自我控制不足(低挫折容忍度和自我控制能力)方面得分更高。
早期适应不良图式可能是寻求药物滥用治疗的飞行员和非飞行员的一个相关治疗靶点。
