ABSTRAK
Kajian ini meneroka pengalaman belia berkaitan tekanan emosi dan penglibatan dalam penagihan dadah di Daerah Tatau, Sarawak. Kajian kes kualitatif ini melibatkan enam orang informan yang dipilih secara persampelan bertujuan, iaitu lima orang belia lelaki yang mempunyai pengalaman penggunaan atau penagihan dadah dan seorang pegawai penyiasat narkotik (AIO) di Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah Tatau. Data dikumpulkan melalui temu bual separa berstruktur dan dianalisis secara tematik berpandukan Braun dan Clarke (2006). Lima tema dikenal pasti: faktor keluarga, pengalaman tekanan emosi dan proses penglibatan, kesan penagihan, strategi daya tindak dan pemulihan, serta intervensi. Dalam pengalaman informan, konflik keluarga, pengaruh rakan dan ahli keluarga, pengangguran, tekanan kewangan serta sokongan sosial yang terhad muncul sebagai konteks penting yang berkaitan dengan penglibatan dan penggunaan berulang. Sebahagian informan turut menggambarkan penggunaan dadah sebagai cara sementara untuk mengurus tekanan, walaupun cara ini tidak menyelesaikan punca masalah. Berdasarkan skop kajian yang kecil dan khusus kepada satu daerah, dapatan tidak bertujuan membuktikan hubungan sebab-akibat atau mewakili semua belia. Kajian mencadangkan sokongan psikososial, pengukuhan keluarga, strategi daya tindak yang sihat, latihan kemahiran, peluang pekerjaan dan penyelarasan antara agensi sebagai bidang yang wajar dipertimbangkan dalam pencegahan dan pemulihan berasaskan komuniti.

ABSTRACT
This study explores young people’s experiences of emotional distress and involvement in drug addiction in Tatau District, Sarawak. The qualitative case study involved six purposively selected informants: five young men with experience of drug use or addiction and one narcotics investigating officer (AIO) from the Tatau District Police Headquarters. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed thematically using Braun and Clarke’s (2006) approach. Five themes were identified: family factors; emotional distress and the process of involvement; the effects of addiction; coping and recovery; and interventions. In the informants’ accounts, family conflict, exposure to peers or relatives who used drugs, unemployment, financial strain and limited social support emerged as important contexts associated with involvement and repeated use. Some informants described drug use as a temporary way of coping with distress, although it did not address the underlying difficulties. Given the small, location-specific qualitative sample, the findings do not establish causality or represent all young people. The study points to psychosocial support, family strengthening, healthier coping strategies, skills training, employment opportunities and inter-agency coordination as areas for consideration in community-based prevention and recovery.
