The addicts experience various forms of mental stress in their daily lives. Inability to handle the stress reduces their quality of life and thus increases their dependence on drug.
The present article seeks to study the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral stress management therapy in improving the male addict's quality of life.
In a pilot study, 30 male addicts in a rehabilitation center in Isfahan were selected through random sampling to represent the experimental group (15 patients) and control group (15 patients). The experimental group received ten 90-minute sessions of cognitive-behavioral stress management therapy while the control group received no treatment. All the patients completed the SF-36 questionnaire at the beginning of the study, at its end and 3 months after its completion. The data were analyzed using the descriptive statistics and analysis of covariance.
The results of the covariance analysis demonstrated a significant difference between the two groups regarding the improvement of the quality of life. The experimental group received higher scores in both the post-test and follow-up test (p<005).
The cognitive-behavioral stress management therapy has a significant impact on improving the male addicts' quality of life.
