Abstract

Objective: To explore the experience of family members in helping the young adult drug abusers. Method: The study used a descriptive phenomenology approach and included eleven participants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using the Colaizzi approach. Results: The results revealed four themes: universal young adult developmental tasks, internal and external factors that hinder the development of young adult drug abusers, family members as the main companions of young adult drug abusers, and the elaborate burdens experienced by families of young adult drug abusers. Conclusions: The results of the study highlight the importance of a nurse-led family psycho-education for the families of young adult drug abusers.
