The treatment for drug addiction is considered a difficult path for the most of patients. As matter of fact, individuals with Substance Use Disorder (SUD) experience numerous challenges before, during and after the treatment (e.g. tackling an unpredictable, uncertain and paradoxically negative future, tackling the anxiety and anticipatory fear of physical pain associated with abstinence; decide to go beyond self-justification and self-deception). Courage could be considered a positive and functional resource to help people with SUD to face challenges and difficulties related to treatment. In connection therewith, the aim of this study was to examine, using an embedded mix method analysis, the personal stories of courage of 80 individuals with SUD in order to identify the themes and types of courage used in their life. The analysis carried out showed that individuals with SUD reported more frequently stories of courage related to their SUD condition respect to other life situation. Moreover, the quantitative analysis showed that participants used more frequently psychological courage respect to moral and physical courage when these stories were referred to their SUD condition then other life situations.
对大多数患者来说，药物成瘾的治疗被认为是一条艰难的道路。事实上，患有物质使用障碍（SUD）的个体在治疗前、治疗期间和治疗后会经历无数挑战（例如，应对不可预测、不确定且自相矛盾地消极的未来，应对与禁欲相关的身体疼痛的焦虑和预期恐惧；决定超越自我辩护和自我欺骗）。勇气可被视为一种积极且起作用的资源，以帮助患有SUD的人面对与治疗相关的挑战和困难。与此相关，本研究的目的是采用嵌入式混合方法分析，审视80名患有SUD的个体的勇气个人故事，以确定他们生活中所使用的勇气主题和类型。所进行的分析表明，与其他生活状况相比，患有SUD的个体更频繁地讲述与他们的SUD状况相关的勇气故事。此外，定量分析表明，当这些故事涉及他们的SUD状况而非其他生活状况时，参与者在讲述这些故事时更频繁地使用心理勇气而非道德和身体勇气。
