There is a dearth of research on gamblers’ experiences toward the end of a self-exclusion period when significant decisions are required as to renew or discontinue agreements. An exploratory study was conducted to (1) understand user perspectives of processes involved at the termination of their self-exclusion agreement and (2) identify factors differentiating individuals renewing or discontinuing self-exclusion. Such information is important to ensure self-exclusion programs meet individual needs at this critical timepoint. Eighty-five participants (43.5% renewed) completed an online survey at least 6 months after completing a full period of an Australian land-based (clubs) gambling self-exclusion program. Results showed that participants found renewal or discontinuation processes straight-forward; however, they did not feel adequately supported at the time, and those discontinuing felt particularly uninformed. Participants recommended fast-easy renewal procedures and permanent exclusion for individuals remaining self-excluded, and a structured ‘safety plan’ for those returning to venues. No significant differences were observed between renewed and discontinued self-excluders on relevant demographic variables, gambling and help-seeking behaviours, problem gambling severity, gambling urges, self-efficacy, psychological distress and quality of life. Future studies should extend the scope of analyses to specific cognitions and socio-environmental factors that theoretically could influence decision-making at termination of self-exclusion.

我该留下还是该走?选择继续或终止自陆基赌博场所进行自我排斥的个人的比较探索性分析

当需要就续签或终止协议达成重大决定时,在自我排斥期即将结束时,对赌徒的经验的研究还很匮乏。进行了一项探索性研究,以(1)了解用户在终止其自我排斥协议时所涉及的过程的观点,以及(2)找出区分个人更新或中止自我排斥的因素。此类信息对于确保自我排斥计划在此关键时刻满足个人需求非常重要。在完成了整个澳大利亚陆基(俱乐部)赌博自我排斥计划的至少六个月之后,八十五名参与者(更新了43.5%)完成了在线调查。结果表明,参与者发现更新或终止过程很简单;然而,他们当时感觉没有得到足够的支持,而那些停产的人感到特别无知。与会人员建议快速续签程序,并对仍被排除在外的个人进行永久排除,并为返回场地的人员制定结构化的“安全计划”。在有关人口统计学变量,赌博和寻求帮助的行为,赌博问题的严重性,赌博的冲动,自我效能,心理困扰和生活质量等方面,更新和停用的自我排斥者之间没有发现显着差异。未来的研究应将分析的范围扩展到特定的认知和社会环境因素,这些因素和理论上可能影响自我排斥终止时的决策。与会人员建议快速续签程序,对仍被排除在外的个人实行永久排除,并为返回场地的人员制定结构化的“安全计划”。在有关人口统计学变量,赌博和寻求帮助的行为,赌博问题的严重性,赌博的冲动,自我效能,心理困扰和生活质量等方面,更新和停用的自我排斥者之间没有发现显着差异。未来的研究应将分析的范围扩展到特定的认知和社会环境因素,这些因素和理论上可能影响自我排斥终止时的决策。与会人员建议快速续签程序,对仍被排除在外的个人实行永久排除,并为返回场地的人员制定结构化的“安全计划”。在有关人口统计学变量,赌博和寻求帮助的行为,赌博问题的严重性,赌博的冲动,自我效能,心理困扰和生活质量等方面,更新和停用的自我排斥者之间没有发现显着差异。未来的研究应将分析的范围扩展到特定的认知和社会环境因素,这些因素和理论上可能影响自我排斥终止时的决策。在有关人口统计学变量,赌博和寻求帮助的行为,赌博问题的严重性,赌博的冲动,自我效能,心理困扰和生活质量等方面,更新和停用的自我排斥者之间没有发现显着差异。未来的研究应将分析的范围扩展到特定的认知和社会环境因素,这些因素和理论上可能影响自我排斥终止时的决策。在有关人口统计学变量,赌博和寻求帮助的行为,赌博问题的严重性,赌博的冲动,自我效能,心理困扰和生活质量等方面,更新和停用的自我排斥者之间没有发现显着差异。未来的研究应将分析的范围扩展到特定的认知和社会环境因素,这些因素和理论上可能影响自我排斥终止时的决策。
