Relationship Between Hardiness and Addiction Potential in Medical Students

Pages

  1-10

Abstract

 Background: Hardiness as one of the personality traits is an important factor in predisposing risky behaviors including Addiction. Objectives: This research examines the relationship between Hardiness and Addiction potential and identifies socio-economic determinants of Hardiness and tendency to Addiction among Medical Students in Iran. Materials and Methods: In this study, 577 Medical Students selected based on the convenience sampling method were examined. They were selected from five faculties of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences. Data were collected on Hardiness scale, Addiction potential scale and demographic variables. Data analysis included descriptive and inferential statistics powered by SPSS (v. 22). Results: Research results showed that there was a negative relationship between Hardiness and Addiction potential (r =-227, P < 0. 001). Males had a higher level of Hardiness (P < 0. 05) and lower Addiction potential than females (P < 0. 01). Respondents who had an addicted person in their family showed a lower Addiction potential than those who did not have an addicted family member (P < 0. 01). Being in a family with cold relationships was associated with higher levels of Hardiness; they showed less Addiction potential compared to persons who enjoyed a warm family with friendly relationships (P < 0. 01), but lower levels of Hardiness. Conclusions: Hardiness had a significant negative relationship with tendency to Addiction. Regarding demographic factors that were found to be the predictors of HardinessandAddiction potential, a consistent patternwasobserved inwhichthosewhohadhigh tendency for addition were low in Hardiness. This is not surprising since Hardiness is a shield that provides a defense mechanism for coping behavior when a person is faced with negative life events or adverse life conditions. Based on the results, individuals high in Hardiness are perhaps less likely to resort to drugs. However, further researches are recommended on this subject.
