兒女傷、父母痛：K他命成癮者父母的傷痛經驗與搶救行動

Child Injury and Parental Pain: The Grief Experience and Rescue Actions of Parents of People with Ketamine Abuse Disorders

K他命有獨特的危害性，藥癮者父母是隱身的毒品受害者，本文採用質性研究法，以十位K他命成癮者的父母為研究對象，透過家庭訪視、深度訪談、參與家屬團體以進入藥癮家庭的世界，試圖理解K他命成癮造成之影響以及藥癮者父母的搶救行動。受訪者其子女成癮時間平均為7.3年，父母的搶救行動是從子女的年少期持續到成年時期。研究發現K他命的成癮性、濫用性、社會危害性極其嚴重，藥癮子女生活逐漸變調，以毒為重。父母展開的救援行動包括斷源、協助戒癮、收拾殘局、風險管控，從早期忍辱負重與積極搶救，到後期親情耗竭卻不忍放手，父母的搶救行動隨著子女成年而有差別。K他命成癮者缺乏社區戒癮資源且學校資源中斷，父母多僅靠自身力量搶救子女，親子成為緊密相依的生命共同體，父母既是照顧者也是潛在案主。親情的耗竭需要被正視，在政策上與實務上需有相應的資源以協助父母面對危機並協助藥癮者脫困，研究成果盼提供藥癮處遇之參考。

Ketamine poses unique risks, and the parents of individuals with drug abuse disorders are unrecognized victims of drug abuse. This study used qualitative research methods. Ten parents of individuals with ketamine addiction participated in family visits, in-depth interviews, and family group meetings to reveal the effects of drug addiction on families and the rescue actions of the parents of people with drug abuse disorders. The study revealed that the average duration at which addiction sustained was 7.3 years and that parental rescue actions spanned from childhood to adulthood. Ketamine addiction, abuse, and related social harm are serious problems that alter the life path of those who become addicted. Parents included in this study implemented many rescue actions, including source breakout, assisting their children in conquering their addiction, and risk management. These actions spanned from early active rescue until family exhaustion. The rescue actions of the parents also varied according to the age of their children. Individuals addicted to ketamine lack detoxification resources, and school routine assistance has been disrupted. Therefore, parents rely on their own strength to rescue their children from addiction. Parents and children develop close relationships throughout life: parents are both caregivers and potential clients. Parental exhaustion must be confronted; it is recommended that resources be dedicated in policy and practice to help parents face crises and assist their children in such cases of addiction. The research results can provide a reference for addiction treatment.
