▼ Poor and low-income families constitute more than half of the household population in the Philippines, and contend with several risks that may compromise parents' well-being and ability to parent their children effectively. How do poverty-related risks influence Filipino parents, and what are the culturally-relevant factors that promote resilience in this context? To answer these questions, this study examined multidimensional risk and protective factors that contribute to the psychological well-being and parenting behaviors of low-income urban Filipino mothers and fathers. Structured interviews using self-report questionnaires were conducted with 116 mothers and 84 fathers of adolescents from 119 families in three low-income neighborhoods in Manila, Philippines. Mediation analyses showed that neighborhood disorder was associated with rejecting parental behaviors via depressive symptoms for mothers and via general stress for fathers. In addition for fathers, poor living conditions were associated with lower levels of warm parenting through stress. Results from moderation analyses revealed that religiosity reduced the association between community violence exposure and maternal distress (depression, anxiety, and general stress), thereby serving as a protective factor. Neighborhood cohesion was also a protective factor that reduced the association between poor living conditions and paternal distress. Familism did not serve as a protective factor, and instead amplified the negative effect of neighborhood disorder on rejecting behaviors for fathers. Results highlight contextually-relevant risk and protective factors for mothers' and fathers' well-being and parenting behaviors, and offer theoretical, practical, and policy-related applications for improving parents' functioning in a developing country.

▼ While effective treatment for alcohol use disorders (AUDs) exists, only about 28% of individuals suffering from AUDs seek help for problems (Cohen, Feinn, Arias, & Kranzler, 2007). The National Institute of Health strategic initiative of systems-thinking approaches to health (USDHHS, 2010b) suggests that social network ties may reveal important keys to how persons experiencing health problems, including AUDs, seek treatment. Additionally, approximately 60% of individuals in treatment for AUDs will relapse within the first year following alcohol treatment (Maisto, Pollock, Cornelius, Lynch, & Martin, 2003; Whitford, Widner, Mellick, & Elkins, 2009). One mechanism of change that could reduce relapse of alcohol use may be the goals individuals adopt upon entry to treatment. The objectives of this dissertation are 1) identify the characteristics of social network ties among persons with experiencing AUDs, 2) examine how social network ties influence treatment use for alcohol dependence, and 3) to examine whether goals individuals adopt concerning drinking in early treatment influence subsequent alcohol use following treatment completion. Objectives 1 and 2 examine wave 2 of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions. Objective 3, examines the Life-Transitions Study (LTS) (Robinson et al., 2011). Results suggest that social networks of individuals with AUDs are smaller in size and less diverse. Additionally, social network ties of individuals with AUD play a moderating role in seeking treatment such that individuals with high level of alcohol consumption and more social ties are more likely to seek treatment than individuals with high levels of alcohol consumption and few network ties. Finally, controlling for differences in who adopts a goal of abstinence from alcohol, individuals who adopt a goal of abstinence at treatment entry are likely to have more percent days abstinence and more days since last consuming alcohol compared to individuals who adopt a non-abstinence goal. These findings offer several implications for social work practice including the utilization of social networks as a resource among individuals with AUDs, the identification of high risk AUD groups least likely to seek treatment, and risk factors associated with higher levels of alcohol use following treatment for AUDs.

▼ Alcohol misuse is a global health risk. Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) maintains a worldwide presence, with more than 2 million members and 110,000 groups in over 180 countries. Researchers and clinicians have become increasingly interested in mechanisms of action that contribute to positive outcomes in this “spiritual program of action,” but few have applied a theoretical framework to these efforts. In this three-paper dissertation, the nursing Theory of Human Relatedness (THR) was used to inform or direct qualitative, theoretical, and quantitative inquiries. First, a set of personal stories from the fourth edition of Alcoholics Anonymous was examined. Using methods derived from narrative analysis, a normative model was proposed. The overall storyline followed classical literary conventions for tragedy and comedy, incorporating regressive, progressive, and stable narratives. Prototypical stages (first or early drinking, alcoholic regression, hitting bottom, progress in the AA program, and stable sobriety) were embedded in a subjective, evaluative function over time. In a second paper, THR was applied to alcoholism and recovery in AA. The organizing construct was relatedness, an individual’s level of involvement with persons, objects, environments, or spiritual entities, and the concurrent level of comfort associated with that involvement. Detailed analysis of an exemplar, and a survey of other personal stories, suggested that THR has the potential to serve as a unifying theory in the study of alcoholism and recovery in AA. Finally, a prospective, longitudinal study was conducted in Warsaw, Poland. Patients were assessed at baseline, one month, and 6-12 months for AA meeting attendance, affiliation, and alcohol consumption. Outcomes were obtained from 118 of 154 participants, 77% of the baseline sample. AA attendance alone did not predict improved drinking outcomes. In contrast, self-report of a spiritual awakening (one of the affiliation items) was significantly associated with abstinence, and the absence of any heavy drinking. Spiritual awakening was further associated with a number of other AA-related behaviors, collectively referred to as affiliation. Greater AA affiliation increased the likelihood of having had a spiritual awakening which, in turn, predicted improved drinking outcomes. Affiliation items were aligned with the core construct and concepts from the Theory of Human Relatedness. Advisors/Committee Members: Boyd, Carol J. (committee member), Brower, Kirk J.

▼ Although adult children of alcoholics (ACOA) are at risk for alcohol or other drug abuses and serious emotional problems, including depressive symptoms, “resilient” ACOAs grow up striving to adapt, survive and succeed under stressful conditions. Recent studies have reported that one of the key factors increasing resilience is sense of belonging, which also protects individuals from depressive symptoms. However, the relationships among depressive symptoms, sense of belonging, and resilience have rarely been studied in ACOAs. Therefore, this descriptive and comparative study between ACOAs and non-ACOAs aims to explore the relationships among parental alcoholism, sense of belonging, resilience, and depressive symptoms, especially among Korean people living in Midwestern cities of the States. Based on a literature review, a conceptual framework was proposed: Sense of belonging was suggested as a key factor enhancing ACOAs’ resilience, and resilience was defined as an acquired capacity to translate life adversities associated with parental alcoholism into desirable outcomes, i.e., having few or no depressive symptoms. Using a web-based survey, including the Beck Depression Inventory-II, the Sense of Belonging Instrument-Psychological, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and family-related questionnaires, data from 206 Koreans and Korean Americans were collected. The mean age of the sample was 28.4 years (S.D. = 6.9), 40.2% were males, and 77.8% were undergraduate or graduate students. The mean BDI-II score was 8.9 (S.D. = 8.1), and nearly 15% were identified as ACOAs. Preliminary analysis results revealed significant relationships among parental alcoholism, depressive symptoms, sense of belonging, resilience, social support, family functioning, parental mental health problems, and domestic violence. Sense of belonging was the only mediator between parental alcoholism and depressive symptoms. Structural equation modeling confirmed sense of belonging as the most powerful and proximal factor resisting depressive symptoms, although resilience and social support also mediated some effects of parental alcoholism on depressive symptoms. Parental alcoholism had no direct effect on depressive symptoms. These findings provide important evidence for understanding both the psychological positive and risk factors of depressive symptoms. In addition, the findings will contribute to establishing fundamental knowledge, strengthened by cultural sensitivity, for health care providers to develop effective intervention programs for Korean ACOAs.
