“…Participants' recognition of their family's love and patience throughout their addict selves stirred participants' intent to repay their loved ones by redeeming themselves in the eyes of the significant people who have stood by them throughout the ordeal and to express gratitude. This is consistent with literature stating that family support can influence recovery through motivation to change (Kelly et al, 2010).…”

This study explored the recovery narratives and identity reconstruction of seven recovering Filipino drug dependents in a rehabilitation center. Extant literature on drug abuse in the country has been limited to etiology and treatment, as well as the difficulties experienced by drug dependents following release from the rehabilitation center. The narratives culled in this study, however, gave depth and continuity to the experiences during rehabilitation and recovery. This study highlighted the role of Filipino values in driving the narrative forward. Using narrative analysis and self-positioning theory, seven main plots of the recovery narrative and the respective self-positions emerged. The plot progressed from etiology, to admission, and to recovery. Meanwhile, the positions showed participants' transition from an addict identity to a non-addict identity, within the rehabilitation process. Findings from this study offer new insights into drug abuse recovery as an attempt to fill the methodological and epistemological gap in addiction studies; moreover, this research shows how the combination of narrative analysis and positioning theory offers researchers a rigorous method that can contribute to studies that focus on identity and change, thus expanding the understanding of drug abuse beyond pathology.

In The Gambia like all nations, drug abuse is seen as a social and health problem that has many serious implications for the physical, social, psychological and intellectual development of the victims more especially, the children. Therefore, it continues to be a concern to families, community leaders, educators, social workers, health care professionals, academics, government and its development partners. Though there some studies on drug abuse, there is none on children and drug abuse focusing on the street children the most vulnerable category. Street children are hypothesized to be more at risk of any epidemic including drug abuse. This study sought to determine the risk and prevalence of drug abuse among street children focusing on those in the car parks. The research was focused on six critical areas: level of knowledge of drug abuse, perception towards it, level of knowledge of the causes of it in the community and among street children, level of knowledge of negative impacts of it, level of knowledge of the preventive methods; and level of knowledge of the support services and treatments needed by victims. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the data from thirty five participants (i.e. one driver and six casual apprentices from each of the five car parks) were interviewed. The data was presented and analysed using tables and percentage. The findings revealed among other things, that there is high level of awareness of drug abuse but the feelings towards it is mixed. Like other children, street children are abusing drugs mainly due to peer influence with the ultimate objective of getting high to relief stress, group recognition, trusted by peers, etc. Similarly, participants are highly aware of the negative impacts encompassing fighting, stealing, mental illness, etc. To finance the behaviour, victims are engaged in all types of dangerous antisocial behaviour including romantic ones exposing them to a range of diseases including STIs and HIV/AIDS. Marijuana is the most commonly abused drug. Though in the minority, some have started experimenting cocaine/coke, hashish; and heroin. While participants have good knowledge of the critical methods to fight drug abuse, the support services needed by victims, victims are mostly reluctant to seek the services not only because they are hard to find but fear societal stigmatization, exclusion and discrimination and professionals’ maltreatments.

“…Czynnikiem znaczą-co wpływającym na poziom akceptacji swojego stanu okazało się wsparcie uzyskiwane od rodziny. Wsparcie społeczne jest zasadniczo czynnikiem wspomagają-cym zdrowie, zaś w sytuacji choroby koreluje dodatnio z podjęciem leczenia, zaangażowaniem w jego kontynuację, podtrzymywaniem nadziei na powrót do zdrowia, lepszą ogólną jakością życia [9,10].

Przegl¥d menoPauzalny 2/2013 120 StreszczenieCel pracy: Ocena adaptacji psychologicznej pacjentek w pierwszych dobach po zabiegu mastektomii oraz wpływu wybranych czynników na proces akceptacji choroby.Materiał i metody: Zbadano 32 kobiety powyżej 40. roku życia w pierwszych dobach po zabiegu mastektomii przebywające na oddziale chirurgicznym. Średnia wieku wynosiła 64,5 ±0,7 roku. Badane były w większości mieszkankami dużych miast, z wykształceniem średnim, zamężne, posiadające dzieci, niepracujące. Wykorzystano: kwestionariusz ankiety, Skalę akceptacji choroby (AIS) oraz Skalę przystosowania psychicznego do choroby nowotworowej (Mini MAC).Wyniki: Badane deklarowały, że: choroba zmieniła ich życie, dominującą emocją jest strach, zmalało ich poczucie atrakcyjności fizycznej, ale wzrosło poczucie bliskości z partnerem, najsilniejszym źródłem wsparcia jest personel medyczny. Badane uzyskały niższy wynik w zakresie akceptacji choroby niż wynik przeciętny w populacji kobiet z rakiem sutka i macicy (t = -3,20; p < 0,01). Badane różniły się poziomem akceptacji choroby w zależności od natężenia wsparcia uzyskiwanego od rodziny (χ 2 = 12,45; p < 0,01). Analiza regresji wykazała, że 52% (R 2 = 0,516) akceptacji choroby jest wyjaśniane przez poziom wsparcia ze strony rodziny (β = 0,56; p < 0,001) i zaabsorbowania lękowego (β = -0,38; p < 0,01). Badane wykazały gorsze przystosowanie do choroby, niż zaobserwowano w populacji kobiet z nowotworem sutka, w kategoriach zaabsorbowania lękowego (t = -2,53; p < 0,05) i bezradności (t = -2,12; p < 0,05), ale lepsze w kategorii ducha walki (t = 5,99; p < 0,001). Wykazano związek między akceptacją choroby a zaabsorbowaniem lękowym (r = -0,42; p < 0,05) oraz pozytywnym przewartościowaniem (r = 0,43; p < 0,05).Wnioski: Akceptacji choroby sprzyja zmniejszanie lękowego zainteresowania chorobą i zwiększanie wsparcia udzielanego pacjentce przez rodzinę. Im bardziej pacjentka akceptuje chorobę, tym mniej przejawia lęku, bardziej zaś przewartościowuje pozytywnie chorobę.Słowa kluczowe: mastektomia, nowotwór, proces akceptacji, adaptacja psychologiczna. SummaryAim of the study: The evaluation of the psychological adaptation of women in the first days after mastectomy and the impact of selected factors on the process of acceptance of the disease.Material and methods: Thirty-two women were examined. The mean age was 64.5 ±0.7 years. A questionnaire, AIS scale, and Mini MAC Scale were used.Results: The dominant emotion was fear. The sense of physical attractiveness decreased, while the sense of closeness towards a partner increased. The biggest support was provided by the medical staff. The acceptance of the disease was lower in comparison with women suffering from breast or uterine cancer (t = -3.20; p < 0.01). The respondents differed in the level of acceptance of the disease depending on the intensity of support obtained from their families (χ 2 = 12.45; p < 0.01). Fifty-two percent (R 2 = 0.516) of the acceptance of the disease is Adaptacja psychologiczna dojrza³ych kobiet w pierwszych dobac...
