Family-Based Care & Preventive Strategies in Front of High-Risk Behaviors

Family-Based Care & Preventive Strategies in Front of High-Risk BehaviorsAbstract:In recent decades, high-risk behaviors in all societies and in different age and sex groups have grown exponentially. Families are constantly striving to care for their children so that children are raised away from injury and do not engage in risky behaviors. High-risk behaviors are behaviors that are intentional and the person has little control over the possible side effects, such as smoking, alcohol, drugs, psychotropic drugs, and performing early sexual behaviors. The aim of this study was to analysis family-based care and prevention strategies for high-risk behaviors. This study has a hermenutic and constructive-interpretive paradigm and in terms of basis, qualitative research and data collection technique, in-depth and semi-structured interviews. To analyze the data, grounded theory method, with open, axial and selective coding process has been used in order achieve the final theory. The universe included families from Tabriz and sampling was done through purposeful sampling and with the participation of 26 families, theoretical saturation was achieved. Findings show that families follow the following triple model to take care of appearing high-risk behaviors: 1. Inefficient care strategy (lacking effective strategy); 2. Impulsive care strategy; 3. Process care strategy.
