UNASSIGNED: The current study collected data from an international cohort of 608 participants who reported experiencing difficulties that persisted for at least one day after a psychedelic experience. They provided written data on how they used coping strategies to alleviate these difficulties. The qualitative analysis of the written data on coping was conducted using Structured Tabular Thematic Analysis.
UNASSIGNED: A wide range of individual and social coping strategies were employed that were found helpful. The most common individual strategies were meditation and prayer, followed by self-educational activities such as reading and journaling. The most prevalent forms of social coping involved seeking support from friends or family members, followed by obtaining assistance from a therapist or coach. Features of social coping that were reported to be helpful included feeling heard/accepted, a non-judgemental attitude and sharing similar experiences.
UNASSIGNED: Our findings hold potential for informing the design of therapeutic interventions and educational resources aimed at enhancing positive outcomes for those experiencing extended difficulties after psychedelic use.
当前的研究从608名参与者的国际队列中收集了数据,他们报告说在迷幻经历后至少持续了一天的困难。他们提供了书面数据,说明他们如何使用应对策略来缓解这些困难。使用结构化表格主题分析对应对的书面数据进行定性分析。
■采用了各种有用的个人和社会应对策略。最常见的个人策略是冥想和祈祷,其次是自我教育活动,如阅读和日记。最普遍的社会应对形式包括寻求朋友或家人的支持,然后从治疗师或教练那里获得帮助。据报道有帮助的社会应对特征包括感觉被听到/接受,一种非判断的态度,分享类似的经历。
■我们的研究结果有可能为治疗干预措施和教育资源的设计提供信息,旨在为那些在使用迷幻药后经历长期困难的人提供积极的结果。
