Dirnbek, Nives (author), Bratun, Urša (mentor), Sicherl, Zorana (reviewer)

Uvod: Odvisnost od alkohola je kronična bolezen, pri kateri pride do motnje delovanja možganov in nekontroliranega vedenja. Odvisnost od alkohola nima le negativnega vpliva na zdravje, temveč tudi na odnose, vsakodnevno delovanje posameznika in njegove okupacije. Čeprav so v delovni terapiji okupacije običajno predstavljene kot zdravju koristne, obstajajo tudi takšne, ki ga ogrožajo in imajo temno stran. Namen: Cilj diplomskega dela je raziskati primer temne strani okupacije, in sicer odvisnost od alkohola. Želeli smo ugotoviti, kako je odvisnost od alkohola predstavljena v delovnoterapevtski literaturi in kako se odraža na drugih okupacijah v življenju posameznika. Metode dela: Narejen je bil pregled literature. Iskanje literature je potekalo marca 2025 v treh podatkovnih bazah: CINAHL, PubMed in Web of Science. V pregled so bile vključene kvalitativne in kvantitativne študije, pregledi literature in strokovni članki v angleškem jeziku, ne glede na leto objave. Vključene so bile študije, ki so opisovale odvisnost od alkohola, študije, ki so obravnavale druge oblike odvisnosti, pa so bile izključene. Rezultati: V končno analizo je bilo vključenih devet študij, ki so ustrezale vključitvenim kriterijem. Od tega je bilo pet kvalitativnih študij, dve kvantitativni študiji, en strokovni članek in en sistematični pregled literature. Pri tematski analizi člankov sta bili oblikovani dve temi, znotraj katerih je bilo opredeljenih pet podtem. Razprava in zaključek: Odvisnost od alkohola se lahko razume kot okupacijo, ki posamezniku zagotavlja dnevno strukturo, identiteto in občutek pripadnosti, hkrati pa prinaša dolgotrajne negativne posledice tako za fizično zdravje kot tudi za socialno in psihično delovanje. Proces okrevanja od odvisnosti ne pomeni le prenehanja uživanja alkohola, temveč zahteva oblikovanje novih, smiselnih in zdravju prijaznih okupacij, ki pripomorejo k vzpostavitvi nove življenjske rutine in ponovnemu pridobivanju občutka vrednosti. Ključen del tega procesa je tudi socialna vključenost, ki posamezniku daje podporo in občutek varnosti. Delovna terapija ima pomembno vlogo pri preoblikovanju življenjskih navad, izboljšanju vsakodnevnih spretnosti in oblikovanju učinkovitih načinov za spoprijemanje z izzivi, kar pripomore k dolgotrajnemu okrevanju.

• Title: Alcohol dependence as the dark side of occupation : diploma work

Abstract

Introduction: Alcohol addiction is a chronic disease that affects brain function and leads to uncontrolled behavior. It not only has a negative impact on health but also on relationships, daily functioning, and the individual's occupations. Although occupational therapy usually considers occupations to be beneficial for health, some can be harmful and have a dark side. Purpose: The goal of this thesis is to explore alcohol addiction as an example of the dark side of occupation. The purpose of this thesis was to explore how alcohol dependence is presented in occupational therapy literature and how it affects other occupations in an individual's life. Methods: A scoping literature review was conducted. The literature search took place in March 2025 across three databases: CINAHL, PubMed, and Web of Science. The review included qualitative and quantitative studies, literature reviews and professional articles published in English, regardless of the year of publication. Studies focusing on alcohol addiction were included, while those addressing other forms of addiction were excluded. Results: In the final analysis, nine studies that met the required criteria were included. These consisted of five qualitative studies, two quantitative studies, one professional article and one systematic literature review. The thematic analysis of the articles revealed two main themes, which were further divided into five subthemes. Discussion and conclusion: Alcohol addiction can be understood as an occupation that provides daily structure, identity, and a sense of belonging, while at the same time causing long-term negative consequences for physical health, social functioning, and psychological functioning. The recovery process from addiction does not only involve stopping alcohol consumption but requires the development of new, meaningful, and health-promoting occupations that help an individual establish a new life routine and regain a sense of self-worth. A key part of this process is social inclusion, which provides a person with support and a sense of safety. Occupational therapy plays an important role in encouraging the reshaping of life habits, improving daily skills, and developing effective ways to cope with challenges, all of which contribute to sustained recovery.
