Abstract

Opioid use in women has increased by 300% since 1999, and opioid use disorder among pregnant women has quadrupled. The stigma of substance use disorder is a significant barrier to treatment, especially among women. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences and perceptions of stigma among mothers and the underlying themes. (1) Background: To understand the stigmatization of women with substance use disorders, we interviewed mothers in recovery from opioid use disorder. (2) Methods: Qualitative methods and descriptive analysis was used to extrapolate themes related to the experienced stigma. (3) Results: A total of 20 mothers in recovery from opioid use disorder were interviewed and three main themes emerged from the data: internal stigma, external stigma, and healing from stigma. (4) Conclusion: The examination of stigma is important in reducing its effect on all individuals with substance use disorders, and it is important to understand gender inequities.

"我的毒瘾并不能定义我"--有阿片类药物使用障碍的母亲对污名化的体验
自 1999 年以来,妇女使用阿片类药物的人数增加了 300%,孕妇阿片类药物使用障碍的人数增加了四倍。药物使用障碍的耻辱感是治疗的一大障碍,尤其是对女性而言。本研究的目的是探讨母亲们对污名化的经历和看法以及潜在的主题。(1) 背景:为了了解患有药物使用障碍的女性所遭受的耻辱,我们采访了正在从阿片类药物使用障碍中康复的母亲。(2) 方法:采用定性方法和描述性分析来推断与所经历的污名化相关的主题。(3)结果:共采访了 20 位阿片类药物使用障碍康复期的母亲,从数据中得出了三大主题:内部污名化、外部污名化和从污名化中愈合。(4) 结论:研究成见对于减少其对所有药物使用障碍患者的影响非常重要,而了解性别不平等也非常重要。
