Abstract
|
|
|
The purpose of this study is to explore the recovery internship experience of gambling addiction recoverers in the Korea Center on Gambling Problems. For this, a qualitative case study was conducted by in-depth interview with 3 participants.
The collected data were analyzed within cases and across cases. The within-case analysis was summarized in ‘strengthening the power of recovery through learning and growth’, ‘happiness found by saving myself and saving others,’ and ‘discovering a new way of life with a talk about gambling.’ The cross-case analysis was summarized in ‘more than two birds in one stone in recovery internship’, ‘a solid recovery force in an environment surrounded by recovery activities’, ‘reinforcing the identity of recoverers’, ‘joy from helping others: satisfaction, happiness, self-efficacy’, ‘the role of a intermediary, facilitator, role-model symbolizing recovery’, ‘competency that is not still enough’, and ‘concerns about unprepared recovery interns.’ This study found that research participants had experienced abundant recovery and inner growth through their internship, and that the internship program was a useful system that utilized the recovery workforce. Based on this, we suggested the need for a phased road-map to cultivate recovery manpower, including education and training to strengthen their professionalism.
