The Role of Stakeholder Awareness and Spiritual Counseling in Addiction Prevention: A Qualitative Research

Abstract

This study aims to examine the awareness levels of stakeholders— parents, teachers, psychological counselors, and spiritual counselors—in the process of preventing addictions, and to evaluate the role of spiritual counseling services within this context. The research was conducted within the framework of phenomenological design, one of the qualitative research methods; in-depth interviews were conducted with a total of 16 participants, at least three from each stakeholder group, using purposive sampling method. The data were collected through a semi-structured interview form and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that the stakeholders' knowledge levels regarding the prevention of addictions differ, but for the effective management of the process, cooperation and spiritual counseling services should be integrated into the process in a more prominent and systematic manner by addressing not only individual but also social and spiritual aspects of addiction. In this direction, it is recommended that spiritual counseling services should be made more accessible to young individuals, structured in an integrated manner with psychosocial support mechanisms, and efforts to raise awareness of stakeholders in this field should be increased
