ACOA experience of support in childhood and in relationship in adulthood : is there correlations between them? (English)
Abstract [sv]

Det är många barn som far illa av att leva med vårdnadshavare som har ett alkoholmissbruk. Dessa barn kan utveckla riskbeteenden och få anknytningsproblem, vilket kan hänga med långt senare i livet. Syftet med studien äratt undersöka individer som i sin barndom levt med en vårdnadshavare med ett alkoholmissbruk (eng; ACOA–Adult Children Of Alcoholics) och få en förståelse för deras upplevelser av socialt stöd i deras barndom, samt om de upplever att de har svårt att knyta relationer senare i livet. Syftet är också att se om det finns något samband mellan det upplevda stödet i barndomen och hur relationerna ser ut senare i livet. Teorier som använts är: Bronfenbrenners ekologiska modell, anknytningsteorin och dubbelbindning (eng; double bind). En kvalitativ forskningsmetod har använts och10 semistrukturerade intervjuer med ACOA har genomförts. Resultatet visade att ACOA upplevde ett svagt stöd i barndomen. ACOA upplevde att de i relationer senare i livet fick tillitsproblem som i vissa fall kundel eda till att ACOA fick det svårt att upprätthålla relationer och en hög självständighet. ACOA upplevde även en hög anpassningsförmåga. Två utsagor som inte gick att analysera var att ACOA försvarade andra på grund av den höga anpassningsförmågan samt att alkoholen kändes viktigare än individen själv.

Abstract [en]

There are many children who suffer from living with guardians who have an alcohol addiction. These children can develop risk behaviors and have attachment problems, which can keep up much later in life. The purpose of the study is to investigate individuals who in their childhood lived with a guardian with alcohol abuse (ACOA -Adult Childen Of Alcoholics) and gain an understanding of their experiences of social support in their childhood, and whether they experience that they have difficulty forming relationships later in life. The purpose is also to see if there is any connection between the perceived support in childhood and what ACOA relationships look like. Theories that been used are: Bronfenbrenner's ecological model, attachment theory and double bind. A qualitative research method has been used and 10 semistructured interviews with ACOA have been conducted. The results showed that the ACOA experienced weak support in childhood. ACOA experienced that in relationships later in life they had trust problems which could, in some cases, lead to ACOA finding it difficult to maintain relationships and a high degree of independence. ACOA also experienced a high degree of adaptability. Two statements that could not be analyzed were that the ACOA defended others due to the high adaptability and that alcohol felt more important than the individual himself.
