Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırma, kumar oynama davranışı sergileyen bireylerin relaps risklerini belirleyen unsurları incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır.
Yöntem: Fenomenolojik bir yaklaşım ve nitel metodoloji kullanılarak yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler 13 katılımcı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kumar oynama geçmişinin olması ve en az bir defa kumarı bırakma girişiminde bulunmuş katılımcılar seçilerek relaps süreci deneyimleri betimsel analiz yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Araştırma bulgularına göre “Sosyal ve Çevresel Faktörler”, “Kişisel ve Duygusal Faktörler”, “Finansal Faktörler” olmak üzere üç farklı tema saptanmıştır. Yetersiz aile desteği, kumar oynayan sosyal çevre ile iletişimin kesilmemesi, borçlar, ekonomik krizler yaşamak, kayıpları telafi etmek, stres, kaygı gibi negatif duygusal durumlardan çıkmak, heyecan arayışı, kumar oynama araçlarından gelen teşvikler katılımcıların relaps yaşamalarını etkileyen faktörler olarak tespit edilmiştir. Kumar oynama davranışı tedavisi için relaps önleme programlarının bütüncül bir yaklaşım içermesi gerektiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Sonuç: Araştırma sonucunda aile desteği, sosyal çevrenin etkisi, psikolojik destek ve terapiler, finansal danışmanlık ve para yönetimi becerileri eğitimi gibi faktörler, relaps riskini azaltmada önemli adımlar olarak değerlendirilmektedir.

Returning to Gambling: A Qualitative Assessment of Relapse Factors in Gambling Behaviour

Abstract

Aim: This research aims to examine the factors that determine the relapse risks of individuals exhibiting gambling behaviour.
Method: Using a phenomenological approach and qualitative methodology, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 participants. Participants who had a history of gambling and had attempted to quit gambling at least once were selected and their experiences of the relapse process were analysed using descriptive analysis.
Results: According to the research findings, three different themes were identified as Social and Environmental Factors, Personal and Emotional Factors, and Financial Factors. The factors identified as influencing participants' relapse include inadequate family support, maintaining communication with a social circle engaged in gambling, debts, experiencing economic crises, attempting to compensate for losses, stress, anxiety, seeking excitement, and incentives from gambling venues. It was concluded that relapse prevention programmes for the treatment of gambling behaviour should include a holistic approach.
Conclusion: As a result of the research, factors such as family support, the influence of the social environment, psychological support and therapies, financial counselling and money management skills training are considered as important steps in reducing the risk of relapse.
