本探索性研究的目的有三个方面：(a)确定市中心hiv阳性吸毒者如何定义“灵性”；(b)确定灵性与禁欲、减少伤害和促进健康之间的关系；(c)评估对灵性干预的兴趣。参加市中心美沙酮维持计划的阿片类药物依赖患者参与了研究；21人参加了焦点小组，47人完成了调查表。在焦点小组中出现了两个主要主题：灵性作为力量/自我保护的来源，以及灵性作为利他主义/保护他人的来源。在更大的样本中，绝大多数人表示有兴趣接受以灵性为重点的治疗，他们报告说，这种干预有助于减少渴望和艾滋病毒风险行为，遵循医学建议，增加希望。非裔美国女性认为灵性对她们的康复比非裔美国男性更有帮助。(C) 2002爱思唯尔科学有限公司版权所有。
The purpose of this exploratory study was 3-fold: (a) to determine how 'spirituality' is defined by inner-city HIV-positive drug users; (b) to determine perceived relationships between spirituality and abstinence, harm reduction, and health promotion; and (c) to assess interest in a spirituality-based intervention. Opioid-dependent patients enrolled in an inner-city:methadone maintenance program participated in the study; 21 participated in focus groups and 47 completed a questionnaire. In the focus groups two predominant themes emerged: spirituality as a source of strength/protection of self, and spirituality as a source of altruism/protection of others. A large majority of the larger sample expressed an interest in receiving spirituality-focused treatment, reporting that such an intervention Would be helpful for reducing craving and HIV risk behavior, following Medical recommendations, and increasing hopefulness. African American women perceived spirituality as more helpful in their recovery than did African American men. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
