Abstract:

 Substance addiction remains a serious social problem that has significantly impacted public health both in the past and in contemporary times. Particularly in substance abuse studies, the fact that women hide themselves has pushed us to talk to women and make them more visible. The uniqueness of this study lies in its focus on the family institution and women. The objective is to examine the role of family structure, communication within the family, domestic violence in female substance addiction. This study is a qualitative research conducted with 10 female substance addicts receiving outpatient treatment at the Ege University Institute of Substance Addiction, Toxicology, and Pharmaceutical Sciences AMATEM. The research design follows a case study pattern. Findings indicate that family structure and domestic violence significantly influence female substance addiction. Women seem profoundly affected by both their parental family and the families they form through marriage. Negative parental attitudes and the presence of violence in both their natal and established families have been identified as familial factors leading women toward substance addiction. Given the scarcity of sociological studies on substance addiction and the dominance of natural science perspectives in such research, this study aims to contribute to sociological literature.

 Madde bağımlılığı geçmişte de günümüzde de toplumsal sağlığı etkileyen ciddi bir sosyal problem olarak önümüze çıkmaktadır. Özellikle madde bağımlılığı çalışmalarında kadınların kendilerini saklamaları bizi kadınlarla konuşmaya, onları daha görünür kılmaya itmiştir. Çalışmanın merkezinde aile kurumunun ve kadınların olması bu çalışmanın özgün değerini oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, aile yapısının, aile içi iletişimin, ailedeki şiddetin kadın madde bagımlılıgında nasıl bir rol oynadıgının incelenmesidir. Çalısma, Ege Üniversitesi Madde Bagımlılıgı, Toksikoloji ve Ilaç Bilimleri EnstitüsündeAMATEM ayakta tedavi gören 10 madde bagımlısı kadın ile görüşülen nitel bir çalısmadır. Çalışmanın deseni, örnek olay desenidir. Çalışma bulguları, aile yapısının ve aile içindeki şiddetin kadın madde bagımlılıgında ciddi bir rol oynadığını ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Kadınların hem ana-baba ailesinden hem de evlenip yeni kurdukları ailelerinden önemli derecede etkilendikleri görülmektedir. Olumsuz ebeveyn tutumları ve hem doğdukları ailede hem de kendi kurdukları ailede şiddetin varlığı, kadınları madde bağımlılığına yönlendiren ailesel etkenler olarak belirlenmiştir. Sosyolojide madde bağımlılığı çalışmalarının az olması nedeniyle ve daha çok madde bağımlılığı çalışmalarının doğa bilimlerinde ele alınması nedeniyle bu çalışma sosyoloji literatürüne katkı yapmayı hedeflemiştir.
