Abstract

ABSTRACT Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) provides its members with a spiritual recovery program for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) that could be seen as a resilience program. This article aimed to study the possible relationships between participation in AA, spirituality and resilience and identify the best spiritual predictors of resilience. Spirituality, participation in AA, and resilience were assessed in a population of AA members recruited throughout France (N = 263, age: M = 58.08, SD = 9.92), using the Religious Background and Behavior Scale the Spiritual Well-Being Scale, the Recovery Interview and g the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Correlations, means comparisons, principal components analyses, and multiple regressions were performed. The 263 participants had resilience characteristics, a quality relationship with a God/Higher Power (God/HP), and an existential well-being greater than the general population. Increased participation in AA predicted increased spirituality. The best spiritual predictors of increased resilience were believing in a life purpose, sense of well-being about one’s future and being able to appreciate life. Results encourage clinicians to implement positive psychological interventions in the care of patients with AUD and to assign empowering tasks to them.

酒精使用障碍康复者恢复力提高的精神预测因素：一项探索性研究

匿名戒酒会(AA)为其成员提供酒精使用障碍(AUD)的精神康复计划，这可以被视为一种恢复力计划。本研究旨在探讨参加嗜酒者互戒、精神状态和心理弹性之间的可能关系，并确定心理弹性的最佳预测因子。采用宗教背景与行为量表、精神幸福量表、康复访谈和Connor-Davidson弹性量表，对在法国各地招募的AA成员(N = 263，年龄:M = 58.08, SD = 9.92)进行灵性、参与AA和弹性评估。进行了相关性、均值比较、主成分分析和多元回归分析。263名参与者具有弹性特征，与上帝/更高权力(上帝/HP)的高质量关系，以及比一般人群更高的存在幸福感。更多地参加嗜酒者互诫会预示着更多的灵性。增强复原力的最佳精神预测指标是相信生活目标、对未来的幸福感以及能够欣赏生活。结果鼓励临床医生在AUD患者的护理中实施积极的心理干预，并向他们分配授权任务。
