本研究的主要目的是在探討希望諮商團體對女性藥物濫用者戒癮的希望感、認知與行為改變與自我尊重之影響。首先,以隨機抽樣的方式抽取20位正在服刑的女性藥物濫用者參與本研究;之後,將其隨機分派至實驗組與控制組。10位實驗組的成員參與每週一次共12次的希望諮商團體;另10位在本研究期間未接受任何諮商服務。兩組成員同時接受前測與後測的評量。統計分析是以兩組的前測分數做為共變量,進行共變數分析。結果顯示實驗組的後測分數在目標堅持、掌握路徑、能量充足、認識改變過程、克服藥癮的能力、適切的認知、情緒管理、他人與自我的接受、自我信任與自我評價等分量表上都顯著高於控制組。根據研究結果,研究者提出三項建議做為矯治單位進行戒癮輔導的參考;並提出五項觀點,做為後續相關研究的建議。
This study investigated the effectiveness of hope-based counseling in promoting a sense of hope, cognitive and behavioral change, and self-esteem for female drug abusers in recovery. Participants were 20 female drug abusers who were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The 10 experimental group participants received 12 sessions of hope-based substance abuse treatment while the 10 control group members did not receive any type of treatment. ANCOVA was used to test the effectiveness of the treatment model. The results indicated that members of the two groups showed significant differences in their post-test scores for goal pursuit, path control, adequacy of energy, knowledge of change process, ability to overcome addiction, appropriate cognition, management of emotions, acceptance of self and others, self-confidence and self-worth.
