Investigation of factors associated with low adherence to treatment of codependency in family members of psychoactive substance users

“…Another factor that can prevent adherence is the high codependency of family members when they make the first call to the hotline. Complaints of intense tiredness, sleep deprivation, and worrying, were symptoms reported by family members in this study and other reports (Bortolon et al, 2017;Lampis et al, 2017;Lima et al, 2019;Sakiyama et al, 2015), demonstrating the problems posed to these family members of problem drug users relatives and their suffering. Low adherence may be related to the characteristics of the codependency framework of these individuals, such as self-sacrifice, where family members neglect their own needs to prioritize the demands of the substance user (Askian et al, 2016;Silva et al, 2019;Vederhus et al, 2019).…”

“…The suffering caused to family members is described in a similar way in different cultures; with symptoms of physical and psychological illnesses, changes in family relationships, situations of violence, and economic problems (Ahmad-Abadi et al, 2017;Askian, Krauss, Baba, Kadir, & Sharghi, 2016;Bortolon et al, 2017;Lampis, Cataudella, Busonera, & Skowron 2017;Panaghi, Ahmadabadi, Khosravi, Sadeghi, & Madanipour, 2016;Tamutiene & Laslett, 2016;Ulusoy & Guçray, 2017). The need for treatment of family members is evidenced by the range of physical and psychological symptoms pointed out in numerous studies (Askian et al, 2016;Lima et al, 2019;Silva Oliveira, Silva, Algeri, & Soares, 2019;Zielinski et al, 2019). Interventions directed to the specific demands of family members who are affected by the problem use of drugs of a loved-one are effective in reducing physical and psychological symptoms and the characteristic symptoms of codependency (Ahmad-Abadi et al, 2017;Bortolon et al, 2017).…”

“…Brazil has more than 8 million people who use alcohol and/or other drugs (5.7% of the population) (Laranjeira, Madruga, Pinsky, Caetano, & Mitsuhiro, 2014). The use of psychoactive substances, in addition to causing significant losses in the user's life, generates negative and lasting effects on members of the family system, and there may be many people in distress living with this problem drug user (Ahmad-Abadi et al, 2017;Lima et al, 2019;Vederhus, Kristensen, & Timko, 2019;Zielinski et al, 2019).…”

Психологические Маркеры Созависимого Поведения: Теория И Практика

“…О необходимости лечения созависимых членов семьи свидетельствует целый ряд физических и психологических симптомов, отмеченных в многочисленных исследованиях (Askian, Krauss, Baba, Kadir & Sharghi, 2016;Lima et al, 2019;Silva, Oliveira, Silva, Algeri & Soares, 2019;Zielinski et al, 2019).…”

“…Большинство авторов придерживаются той позиции, что подавляющее число созависимых испытывают значительный психологический стресс (Dias et al, 2021;Silva et al, 2019), предъявляют жалобы на сильную усталость, недосыпание и беспокойство (Bortolon et al, 2017;Lampis, Cataudella, Busonera & Skowron, 2017;Lima et al, 2019), депрессивные переживания, эмоциональную перегрузку вследствие отказа от назначаемого лечения (Vederhus, Kristensen & Timko, 2019;Zielinski et al, 2019), а также увеличения числа отказов от лечения антидепрессантами (Rohden et al, 2017).…”
