The awareness of sexual experiences could be an effective factor in preventing high-risk sexual behavior pertaining to relapse during the recovery period of substances. This research explored the role of sexual behaviors among Iranian methamphetamine (MA) users in relapse process.
The study was conducted with a qualitative approach using content analysis method. 28 participants were selected through purposeful and theoretical sampling. Data were collected based on face-to-face, in-depth, semi-structured interviews based on open-ended questions. Interviews continued until the data saturation had occurred. All interviews were examined in four stages of codes, sub-categories, categories and themes according to the content analysis of explanations and descriptions of sexual behaviors.
Two main themes were emerged from the analysis of interviews, including extreme pleasure seeking (including the main categories of sexual tunnel vision and sexual totalitarianism) and comprehended threat (including the main categories of internal conflict and external disorganization) as well as 10 subcategories.
The results indicated that sexual behaviors played an important role in relapse process among Iranian MA users and needed to be considered and managed properly in the planning of prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation.
对性经历的认知可能是预防物质恢复期高危性行为复发的一个有效因素。本研究探讨了伊朗甲基苯丙胺(MA)使用者的性行为在复发过程中的作用。
本研究采用定性研究方法,运用内容分析法。通过目的抽样和理论抽样选取了28名参与者。基于开放式问题,通过面对面、深入、半结构化访谈收集数据。访谈持续进行直至数据饱和。根据对性行为的解释和描述的内容分析,所有访谈在代码、子类别、类别和主题四个阶段进行审查。
访谈分析得出两个主要主题,包括极端享乐寻求(包括性狭隘视野和性极权主义等主要类别)和感知到的威胁(包括内部冲突和外部混乱等主要类别)以及10个子类别。
结果表明,性行为在伊朗MA使用者的复发过程中起着重要作用,在预防、治疗和康复计划中需要适当考虑和管理。
