At the intersection - Where the complexity between gambling addiction and comorbidity occurs : A qualitative interview study regarding therapist's perceptions of treatment work with people who have gambling addiction combined with another addiction and/or another psychiatric diagnosis (English)
Abstract [sv]

Spelberoende är ett allvarligt folkhälsoproblem som förorsakar en rad negativa konsekvenser för individer, där spelberoendet ofta är kombinerat med samsjuklighet, vilket gör problematiken mer komplex. På grund av denna problematik är det viktigt att ta reda på hur behandlare uppfattar behandlingsmetoder. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka behandlares uppfattningar av behandlingsarbetet med personer som har spelberoende i kombination med samsjuklighet. Utifrån en kvalitativ ansats genomfördes sex semi-strukturerade intervjuer med behandlare. Materialet analyserades genom en tematisk analys. Resultatet visar att behandlarna belyser vikten av att integrera och anpassa olika metoder, teorier, besitta ett brett förhållningssätt och att samverka med andra aktörer för att kunna bemöta och behandla denna komplexa målgrupp. En slutsats är att behandlarna tycks ha en medvetenhet av behandlingsarbetet som tvärdisciplinärt där arbetet med olika behandlingsmetoder används eklektiskt. Studien påvisar behovet av ytterligare forskning och mer förebyggande arbete.

Abstract [en]

Gambling addiction is a public health problem that causes negative consequences for individuals, where gambling addiction is often combined with co-morbidity, which makes the problem more complex. Because of this problem, it is important to examinate how therapists perceive treatment methods. This study aimed to investigate therapists' perceptions of the treatment work, with people who have gambling addiction combined with co-morbidity. Six semi-structured interviews were conducted with therapists based on a qualitative approach. The material was analyzed through thematic analysis. The results indicate that the therapists highlight the importance of integrating and adapting different methods and theories, having a broad approach and cooperation with other actors to treat this complex target group. A conclusion is that the therapists seem to be aware that the treatment work is interdisciplinary where the work with different treatment methods is used eclectically. The study demonstrates the need for further research and preventive work.
