“…Participants were then asked to take photographs related to study research questions and what was discussed in the FGD-style workshop. The use of photographs in conjunction with more traditional qualitative methods like FGDs [also known as 'Photo Elicitation' (Harper, 2002)] has shown in a wide variety of studies to be effective in gathering information and views from participants regarding their lives in relation to a specific research topic-views which may have otherwise not been as easily communicated when using qualitative methods alone (Snyder and Kane, 1990;Clark-Ibáñez, 2004;Mondelco, 2013;Ali-Khan and Siryb, 2014;Wall-Bassett et al, 2014). It has also been demonstrated that this approach encourages more direct involvement by study participants in the research process, particularly in the gathering and interpreting of relevant data (Bignante, 2010).…”

Diabetes, a serious disease resulting in significant morbidity and early mortality, is currently on the rise globally. A major contributor to this observed increase in low- and middle-income countries, such as South Africa, has been the observed change in diet at the population level—a shift from a traditional diet, to one consisting of more energy-dense, processed foods, with more added sugar, salt and fat. Implicated in this degradation of diet are changing local food environments. Participant-generated digital photographs and facilitated focus group discussion-style workshops were utilized to better understand diabetic community members’ perspectives on their food environments in both an urban and rural setting in South Africa, and what (and how) aspects of these physical environments influence their food acquisition behaviours and diet. Qualitative data were analysed using a deductive thematic analysis approach. The resulting predominant themes of accessibility, availability and affordability are outlined and discussed. Findings from this study have implications beyond the self-management of diabetes and extend to the self-management and reduction of all diet-related non-communicable diseases.

“…For some of the women, the recovery process resulted in the reemergence of a previously held desire for healthy food choices that had been suppressed or ignored during active substance use. They centered the reawakening of their health-related concerns in recovery primarily on their children and, for some women, a personal desire to reduce their body weight or improve a pre-existing disorder such as hypertension or high serum cholesterol (Wall-Bassett et al, 2014).…”

“…The purpose of this study was to investigate the influences on food choices made by mothers living with their children in a residential substance use disorder recovery program. The women’s intrapersonal nutritional choices and issues excluding family context have been reported elsewhere (Wall-Bassett et al, 2014). This report addresses the family context of participants’ food choice decisions while living in a residential treatment facility where they were responsible for procuring and preparing food for themselves and the children who lived with them.…”

“…Mothers in recovery from substance use disorders comprise a population of specific concern for nutrition-related health issues due to their personal responsibilities for child care; poor diets (Cowan & Devine, 2012), including difficulties selecting, obtaining, and preparing healthy foods (Wall-Bassett, Robinson, & Knight, 2014); weight concerns; co-morbid eating disorders (Cohen et al, 2010; Piran & Robinson, 2011); and other nutrient needs (Brady & Ashley, 2005). Compared with those who do not use illicit drugs, women who use drugs are younger and less educated, have lower incomes, experience a poorer health status, and suffer a greater degree of emotional stress.…”

This study utilized participatory and potentially empowering qualitative research methods of photo-elicitation and face-to-face interviews to investigate food choices of mothers living with their children in a residential substance use disorder recovery program. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with nine women (25–40 years) living in a residential substance use disorder recovery program in the Southeastern United States. Each audio recorded and transcribed interview was coded individually before collectively developing a consensual version of the codebook and identifying themes. The recovering women in this study expressed a new or renewed desire to “eat healthy” and voiced concerns about the nutritional value of foods. Food choices were influenced by their children’s nutritional needs and food preferences, their own food preferences and habits, the financial resources available to them, their personal food preparation self-efficacy and skills, and the limitations inherent in residential recovery. Understanding food choices benefits both recovering parents and their children.

“…To some extent, recovery from drug abuse is actually a process centred on stimulating and maintaining the motivation for change [ 23 ]. Positive behavioural changes are likely to occur only when a drug abuser reawakens cognitively [ 24 ]. Previous studies on the motivation for drug detoxification mainly focus on the investigation of motivation status and the analysis of influencing factors.…”

How to Enhance the Motivation for Drug Detoxification: Consciousness Guidance and Behaviour Restriction of Family Intergenerational Ethics

Assisting substance users to recover from the behaviour of drug addiction and maintain long-term rehabilitation is a long and complicated process, in which the motivation to undergo drug rehabilitation plays a decisive role. So far, the cultural connotation of family and its mechanism of promoting behavioural change of substance users have not been fully explored. Through in-depth interviews with 15 drug rehabilitants, among which there were 7 women and 8 men, it is found that the motivation for drug rehabilitation is stimulated under the guidance and restriction of family ethics based on obligation and responsibility, which is mainly reflected in the longitudinal intergenerational responsibility. On the one hand, negative consequences such as intergenerational liability deficit and reputation damage lead substance users to reflect on ethical values. On the other hand, disciplines such as intergenerational responsibility and obligation and mutual assistance can correct the actual behaviour of substance users in ethical practice. In contrast to Western countries, which focus on external environmental factors such as family function, family relationships and family support, the motivation for drug rehabilitation in China places more emphasis on their identity and role as family members and corresponding responsibilities, which provides inspiration for developing social work services for substance users from family cultural norms.
