Abstract

Aim and Background: The present study examined the predictability of QUALITY OF LIFE (QOL) based on PERSONALITY TRAITS and demographic characteristics of drug ADDICTS.Methods and Materials: In the current descriptive, cross-sectional study, 200 individuals were randomly selected from ADDICTS who referred to drug addiction treatment centers in Tehran (Iran). The World Health Organization QUALITY OF LIFE Scale-Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF) and the short version of Cloninger's Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) were completed by the participants. The collected data was analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and stepwise regression analysis.Findings: PERSONALITY TRAITS of self-directedness, persistence, and employment status explained 33% of variance of the total QOL score. Self-directedness and persistence explained 16% of the variance of physical subscale of QOL. Self-directedness, reward dependence, and employment status explained 34% of the variance of psychological subscale of QOL. Self-directedness and employment status explained 20% and 26% of the variance of social and environmental subscales of QOL, respectively. The mentioned factors could significantly predict QOL.Conclusions: Improving self-directedness and reward dependence along with decreasing persistence and unemployment would reduce QOL in drug ADDICTS.
