Zusammenfassung
Objectives
Parental addictive disorders are a major public health problem. Despite already known negative effects, the parental role of men seeking help is rarely acknowledged within addiction support services. This study aims to identify existing relations between fatherhood and addiction, and the resulting support needs of affected fathers.
Methods
For data collection 15 fathers with addictive disorders were interviewed by using qualitative, guided interviews. The data material was analyzed using qualitative content analysis.
Results
The effects of addictive disorders on fatherhood are predominantly unfavorable. Conversely, fatherhood can have consumption-reducing as well as consumption-increasing effects. In this context, five topics were identified in which fathers expressed specific support needs. Particularly fathers with substance use disorders expressed their need for further support, while fathers with behavioral addictions expressed a lesser need.
Conclusions
Paying attention to fatherhood in the context of addiction services provides a starting point for increasing the motivation to change. Individual support needs should be considered when implementing father-specific programs. Not only the fathers themselves, but also their children can benefit from successful treatment and expected changes in fatherhood.
