BACKGROUND
The prevalence of drug abuse among older adults has grown over the last decade. Despite the expanding development of a body of research dedicated to studying this phenomenon, drug abuse by incarcerated older adults has been marginalized. Thus, the aim of the present study was to explore drug abuse patterns in the lives of incarcerated older adults.
METHOD
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 28 incarcerated older adults, and an interpretive analysis was used to analyze the participants' narratives.
FINDINGS
Four themes emerged: (1) Growing up around drugs; (2) Prison onset; (3) Professionals, and (4) Lifelong substance abuse.
CONCLUSION
The study findings reveal a unique typology of drug-related themes in the lives of incarcerated older adults. This typology sheds light on the interplay between aging, drug use, and incarceration and the way these three socially marginalized positions may intersect.
背景
在过去十年中，老年人药物滥用的患病率有所上升。尽管致力于研究这一现象的研究不断发展，但被监禁老年人的药物滥用问题却一直被边缘化。因此，本研究的目的是探索被监禁老年人生活中的药物滥用模式。
方法
对28名被监禁老年人进行了半结构化访谈，并采用解释性分析来分析参与者的叙述。
结果
出现了四个主题：（1）在毒品环境中成长；（2）入狱后开始；（3）专业人员，以及（4）终身药物滥用。
结论
研究结果揭示了被监禁老年人生活中与药物相关主题的独特类型。这种类型学揭示了衰老、药物使用和监禁之间的相互作用，以及这三个社会边缘化状况可能交叉的方式。
