The purpose of this study is to explore changes in belief orientation during treatment and the impact of increased daily spiritual experiences (DSE) on adolescent treatment response. One-hundred ninety-five adolescents court-referred to a 2-month residential treatment program were assessed at intake and discharge. Forty percent of youth who entered treatment as agnostic or atheist identified themselves as spiritual or religious at discharge. Increased DSE was associated with greater likelihood of abstinence, increased prosocial behaviors, and reduced narcissistic behaviors. Results indicate a shift in DSE that improves youth self-care and care for others that may inform intervention approaches for adolescents with addiction.
本研究的目的是探讨治疗期间信念取向的变化,以及每日精神体验(DSE)增加对青少年治疗反应的影响。195名被法院转介到一个为期2个月的住院治疗项目的青少年在入院和出院时接受了评估。在入院时为不可知论者或无神论者的青少年中,40%在出院时将自己认定为有精神信仰或宗教信仰者。DSE增加与禁欲可能性更大、亲社会行为增加和自恋行为减少相关。结果表明DSE的转变改善了青少年的自我照顾和对他人的照顾,这可能为成瘾青少年的干预方法提供参考。
