Abstract
|
|
|
|
The aim of this study is twofold: First, to identify the factors that impede the gambling abstinence attempted by gamblers who experience gambling relapses; and second, to investigate how to manage and control their gambling exposure risk situations. For this purpose, the researchers conducted in-depth interviews of 16 people who had experienced gambling relapse. The data were analyzed according to Krippendorff’s content analysis(2003). The results were as follows: the concepts of social dimension included “social isolation” and “excessive confrontation”; the ones of the family dimension included “avoidance”, “conflict”, “sense of distance”, “onlooking”, and “false masks”; the physical dimension included “somatization symptoms”; and those of the psychological and emotional dimension included “embroilment”, “helplessness”, “self-pity”, “resentment and anger”, indolence“etc. Based on these results, the researchers suggested that society creates a practical program that can influence the perception that gamblers have of reality, strengthen the capacity of their awareness, and help them recover their health in daily life.
