Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to explore resilience to amphetamine relapse among adolescent amphetamine users, 2) to compare resilience to amphetamine relapse among adolescent amphetamine users between voluntary system and compulsory system, and 3) to compare resilience to amphetamine relapse among adolescent amphetamine users between difference severities of amphetamine use groups. The development of the Resilience to Amphetamine Relapse scale was from resilience to drug use concept to create questioning to collect qualitative data in the context of Thai's adolescent drug use. The questionnaire
consisted of six elements of the ability to successfully deal with resilience amphetamine relapse. Data collection in adolescent amphetamine users aged 12 - 24 years receiving treatment in the Princess Mother National Institute on Drug Abuse Treatment (Thanyarak Hospital) 4 setting 366 persons in Pathum Thani, Khon Kaen, Songkhla and Chiang Mai. The research instruments consisted of  1) personal data questionnaire,
2) the Resilience to Amphetamine Relapse scale, and 3) the Severity of Amphetamine Use. Data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation. Independent t-test, One Way ANOVA and
Post hoc analysis were used for the comparative study of resilience to amphetamine relapse among adolescent amphetamine users.
The results showed that
1. Adolescent amphetamine users were admitted in voluntary system 55.2% and admitted in compulsory system 44.8 %.
2. The perceived of resilience to amphetamine relapse among adolescent amphetamine users were at the high level 48.9% followed by the highest level 40.7%, the medium level 9.6% and low level to minimal level 0.8%
3. Comparison of perceived resilience to amphetamine relapse among adolescent between voluntary and compulsive system found adolescents who received voluntary system had a significantly higher mean score (X̅ = 170.69) than adolescents receiving compulsory system (X̅ = 164.30) (t = 2.67; p < .05).
4. The scores of perceived resilience to amphetamine relapse among adolescent between differences perceived severity of amphetamine use found the period of continued amphetamines use group had a higher resilience to amphetamine relapse (X̅ = 169.75) than those in the preoccupation with amphetamine use group (X̅ = 164.07) and the comparison of different group of perceived severity of amphetamine use were significantly resilience to amphetamine relapse score different (F = 2.822, p-value < .05) by group difference were between group of continue to use and group of obsessed with amphetamine (Sig = .034, pvalue < .05).
