ABSTRACT

The current qualitative study recruited 10 first-time Oxford House residents to participate in semi-structured interviews to explore their needs and factors affecting their length of stay. Interviews were analyzed using the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach. Findings suggest lower-resourced residents are more likely than higher-resourced residents to achieve the therapeutic dose due to higher need fulfillment and the drawbacks associated with group living minimized. For higher-resourced residents, increasing investment in the house through the development of friendships with housemates and participation in service activities could increase their length of stay by increasing their investment in the house. Implications are discussed.

摘要

目前的定性研究招募了 10 名首次入住牛津大学的居民参加半结构化访谈，以探索他们的需求和影响他们逗留时间的因素。使用解释性现象学分析（IPA）方法对访谈进行分析。研究结果表明，资源较少的居民比资源丰富的居民更有可能达到治疗剂量，因为更高的需求满足和与集体生活相关的缺点最小化。对于资源较高的居民来说，通过与室友建立友谊和参与服务活动来增加对房屋的投资，可以通过增加对房屋的投资来增加他们的逗留时间。讨论了影响。
