摘要

愷他命已經是我國當前青少年族群最主要的入門毒品，但國內外文獻中鮮少針對青少年使用愷他命心理歷程的探究，本研究分析青少年由接觸到使用愷他命的心理歷程與環境脈絡，詮釋青少年使用藥物的行為背後的心理處境與自我調適。由14位受訪者的訪談資料中分析歸納，研究發現有三：首先，青少年因好奇、情緒壓力及用藥友伴的影響而接觸愷他命，叛逆期的心理變化放大了用藥友伴的影響力。其次青少年同時對愷他命藥物以及群聚用藥的情境產生心理依賴。再者，青少年藉淡化愷他命的成癮性與危害性調適自身戒不掉用藥行為的心理困境。綜合上述結果，基於愷他命的藥物特性及用藥青少年所抱持態度與認知，青少年在疏於戒心的情況下持續使用愷他命藥物，將可能導致往後嚴重的身心危害後果。

This study aimed to explore the psychological process and environmental context of adolescents who experimented with and then abused Ketamine to interpret the psychological situation and self-adjustment related to drug abuse behaviors. By analyzing the interview script of 14 interviewees, three following findings were observed: First, the factors influencing adolescents to experiment with Ketamine included personal curiosity, emotional stress, and friends who abused drugs. Due to rebellious traits and desires for peer acceptance, the influences of friends who abused drugs were especially obvious. Second, the participants were not only addicted to Ketamine but also addicted to the circumstances of drug abuse, where they had fun with their peers. Third, the participants denied and rationalized the addictive tendencies and harmful consequences of using Ketamine to allow themselves to adapt to their own psychological difficulties of failing to quit using the drug. In summation, based on the lower addictive tendencies of Ketamine and the attitude of denial and neglect, young adolescents may not completely desist from ketamine abuse. This may result in future physical and psychological consequences that are harmful and severe.
