This study examines the effects that substance-using family members have on those working to maintain recovery from substance use disorder. Participants ( = 229) were recruited from Oxford Houses (OH) across North Carolina, Texas, and Oregon. A stepwise linear regression with variables including abstinence self-efficacy, gender, substance use, attendance of Alcoholics Anonymous, and conflict with family and non-family was run to examine associations between the amount of substance using family members in the participant's social network. The abstinence self-efficacy mean score, gender, and days of serious conflict with non-family members were significantly associated with total number of substance-using family members in a participant's social network. These results may indicate that OH's serve as a buffer between substance using family members and one's abstinence self-efficacy. It remains unclear if individuals are at an increased risk of relapse from this familial influence when perceived abstinence self-efficacy drops. If so, OH residents could benefit from interventions that help them maintain their perceived abstinence self-efficacy.
本研究考察了滥用物质的家庭成员对那些努力保持戒断物质使用障碍的人的影响。参与者（n=229）是从北卡罗来纳州、德克萨斯州和俄勒冈州的牛津屋（OH）招募的。采用逐步线性回归，将包括戒断自我效能感、性别、物质使用、参加匿名戒酒会以及与家庭和非家庭的冲突在内的变量纳入其中，以研究参与者社会网络中使用物质的家庭成员数量与以下因素之间的关联。戒断自我效能感平均分、性别和与非家庭成员发生严重冲突的天数与参与者社会网络中使用物质的家庭成员总数显著相关。这些结果可能表明，OH 在使用物质的家庭成员和一个人的戒断自我效能感之间起到了缓冲作用。当感知到的戒断自我效能感下降时，个体是否会因这种家庭影响而增加复发的风险仍不清楚。如果是这样，OH 的居民可能会受益于有助于他们保持感知到的戒断自我效能感的干预措施。
