This study examined the role of hope and community in achieving and/or maintaining a successful recovery, and their relationships to quality of life for individuals in recovery. The sample included 229 participants in 42 Oxford House sober living homes in 3 locations in the United States. In this cross-sectional investigation, we assessed whether hope and sense of community were predictors of quality of life for individuals living in recovery homes. Findings indicated that both hope and sense of community were predictors supporting contextual as well as individual characteristics as possible influences on recovery trajectories. These findings have implications for both individual and systems-level resource or competency-based interventions, and they suggest one of the important functions of a recovery residence is in the creation of a sense of community.
本研究探讨了希望和社区在实现和/或维持成功康复过程中的作用，以及它们与康复者生活质量的关系。样本包括美国3个地点42所牛津之家戒酒康复住所中的229名参与者。在这项横断面调查中，我们评估了希望和社区感是否是康复住所居民生活质量的预测因素。研究结果表明，希望和社区感都是预测因素，支持情境因素以及个体特征可能对康复轨迹产生的影响。这些发现对基于个体和系统层面资源或能力的干预措施具有启示意义，并且表明康复住所的一项重要功能在于营造社区感。
