Substance use disorders (SUDs) present substantial challenges for family members living with or supporting relatives with SUDs. This review explores existing literature on family members' experiences with relatives with SUDs and their support needs. An integrative review was conducted by searching literature in the Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health, PubMed, PsycINFO, ProQuest, and Scopus databases. Five themes were generated based on analysis of 26 empirical studies: (a) family members' and caregivers' experiences of SUDs; (b) impact of SUDs-related aggressive/violent behaviors on families; (c) dilemmas faced by family members; (d) culture and family stigma related to SUDs; and (e) factors contributing to SUDs, challenges, and support needs. The review highlighted barriers to seeking support due to stigma and guilt, underscoring the need for structured support programs. This review sheds light on the challenges faced by family members with relatives suffering from SUDs and emphasizes the crucial need for structured support programs. The findings provide insights for developing initiatives to address the social and trauma-induced needs of family members and to establish support resources for them.
物质使用障碍(SUD)给与 SUD 患者共同生活或提供支持的家庭成员带来了巨大的挑战。本综述探讨了现有关于家庭成员与 SUD 患者亲属相处经历和支持需求的文献。 通过在 Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health、PubMed、PsycINFO、ProQuest 和 Scopus 数据库中搜索文献,进行了综合回顾。 基于对 26 项实证研究的分析,产生了五个主题:(a) 家庭成员和照顾者对 SUD 的体验;(b) SUD 相关的攻击/暴力行为对家庭的影响;(c) 家庭成员面临的困境;(d) 与 SUD 相关的文化和家庭污名;以及 (e) 导致 SUD、挑战和支持需求的因素。 该综述强调了由于污名化和内疚感导致寻求支持的障碍,突出了需要有组织的支持计划。 本综述揭示了 SUD 患者亲属的家庭成员所面临的挑战,并强调了制定结构化支持计划的迫切需要。研究结果为制定解决家庭成员的社会和创伤相关需求的举措以及为他们建立支持资源提供了见解。
