Abstract

Gambling is an addictive behaviour that causes significant harms to individuals, families and societies. Problematic gambling can have profound impacts on family life, including financial destitution and relationship breakdown. In addictive relationships, addictive behaviour dominates over other social commitments. The COVID-19 pandemic had important implications on family life and gambling behaviours. This is likely to have affected family relationships in families experiencing gambling harms. The current study uses evidence from a qualitative survey (N=39) and interviews (N=5) collected with family members of gamblers to explore how family members of gamblers experienced addictive relationships during the COVID-19 pandemic in Finland. The results show that gambling negatively affects intimate relationships, relationality and interdependencies in families. For many, gambling-related harms were accentuated by the intensification of addictive relationships during the pandemic. For others, availability restrictions of gambling brought relief. The results also show a need for more family-oriented help services and highlight the importance of prevention.

亲密、关系和相互依赖:2019冠状病毒病期间应对赌博危害的家庭关系
赌博是一种成瘾行为,对个人、家庭和社会造成重大伤害。有问题的赌博会对家庭生活产生深远的影响,包括经济贫困和关系破裂。在成瘾性关系中,成瘾性行为主导着其他社会承诺。COVID-19大流行对家庭生活和赌博行为产生了重要影响。这很可能已经影响了家庭关系,在经历赌博危害的家庭。目前的研究使用了从赌徒家庭成员收集的定性调查(N=39)和访谈(N=5)的证据,以探索在芬兰COVID-19大流行期间赌徒家庭成员如何经历成瘾关系。结果表明,赌博对家庭中的亲密关系、关系和相互依赖产生负面影响。对许多人来说,与赌博有关的危害因流行病期间成瘾关系的加剧而加剧。对其他人来说,赌博的可用性限制带来了解脱。研究结果还表明,需要更多面向家庭的帮助服务,并强调预防的重要性。

期刊介绍: Families, Relationships and Societies (FRS) is a vibrant social science journal advancing scholarship and debates in the field of families and relationships. It explores family life, relationships and generational issues across the life course. Bringing together a range of social science perspectives, with a strong policy and practice focus, it is also strongly informed by sociological theory and the latest methodological approaches. The title ''Families, Relationships and Societies'' encompasses the fluidity, complexity and diversity of contemporary social and personal relationships and their need to be understood in the context of different societies and cultures. International and comprehensive in scope, FRS covers a range of theoretical, methodological and substantive issues, from large scale trends, processes of social change and social inequality to the intricacies of family practices. It welcomes scholarship based on theoretical, qualitative or quantitative analysis. High quality research and scholarship is accepted across a wide range of issues. Examples include family policy, changing relationships between personal life, work and employment, shifting meanings of parenting, issues of care and intimacy, the emergence of digital friendship, shifts in transnational sexual relationships, effects of globalising and individualising forces and the expansion of alternative ways of doing family. Encouraging methodological innovation, and seeking to present work on all stages of the life course, the journal welcomes explorations of relationships and families in all their different guises and across different societies.
