Life Cycle and Daily Routines: An Examination of Individual Living Practices Before and After Substance Use

Öz

This study aims to examine the effects of substance use on individuals' daily life cycles, social relationships, and professional performance. It focuses on the role of substance use in daily life, changes experienced by individuals before and after use, and alterations in their perceptions of an ideal life. Using qualitative research methods, data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 17 participants. The interviews revealed five main themes: the impact of substance use on daily life and routines, its role in social and professional life, its effects on time and space dimensions, physical and emotional states, and perceptions of an ideal life. The analysis of these themes showed that substance use severely restricts personal uniqueness and societal functions. Emotional transitions before and after substance use lead to significant negative effects on psychological and social life, decrease performance in social and professional roles, increase job resignations, and weaken social relationships. Furthermore, neglect of health and personal care was observed, deeply affecting daily life and family and social relations. Overall, substance use is central to individuals' daily routines, reducing participation in family, friend, and social activities. The study suggests revising the effectiveness of social support systems and designing interventions that align with individuals' daily routines.

Yaşam Döngüsü ve Günlük Rutinler: Madde Kullanımının Öncesi ve Sonrasında Bireysel Yaşam Pratikleri Üzerine Bir İnceleme

Öz

Bu çalışma, madde kullanımının bireylerin günlük yaşam döngülerine, sosyal ilişkilerine ve mesleki performanslarına olan etkilerini incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Çalışma, madde kullanımının günlük yaşamdaki yeri, kullanım öncesi ve sonrası bireylerde yaşanan değişimleri ve bireylerin ideal yaşam algılarında meydana gelen değişiklikleri ortaya çıkarmayı hedeflemektedir. Nitel araştırma yöntemiyle 17 katılımcıyla yarı yapılandırılmış mülakatlar kullanılarak veriler elde edilmiştir. Katılımcılarla yapılan görüşmelerde, madde kullanımının günlük yaşam ve rutinlere etkisi, sosyal ve mesleki yaşamdaki rolü, zaman ve mekân boyutları, fiziksel ve duygusal duruma etkisi ve ideal yaşam tasavvuru şeklinde beş ana tema ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu temaların analiziyle ortaya çıkan araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre; madde kullanımının bireylerin kişisel özgünlüklerini ve toplumdaki işlevlerini ciddi şekilde kısıtladığını, madde kullanımı öncesi ve sonrasındaki duygusal geçişlerin bireyin psikolojik ve sosyal hayatında derin olumsuz etkilere neden olduğu, sosyal ve mesleki rollerinde performans düşüklüğü yaşattığı, kullanım sonrası işten ayrılmaların arttığı ve sosyal ilişkilerin zayıfladığı görülmektedir. Ayrıca sağlık durumu ve kişisel bakım ihmal edilmekte, bu durum günlük yaşamlarını, sosyal ve aile ilişkilerini derinden etkilemektedir. Genel olarak, madde kullanımının bireylerin günlük yaşam rutinlerinin merkezinde olduğu ve bunun sonucunda aile, arkadaş ve sosyal faaliyetlere katılımın azaldığı görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda, sosyal destek sistemlerinin etkinliklerinin gözden geçirilmesi ve bireylerin günlük yaşam rutinlerine uyum sağlayacak şekilde müdahalelerin tasarlanması gerekmektedir.
