Abstract

Stress has been the focus of attention as a predisposing factor of ADDICTION in many studies. Actually, it is the concept of specific STRESS for the person and the COPING MECHANISMS used by him, which determines the effect of STRESS on his behavior, not the type of STRESS itself. The present study was done to show the differences using STRESS COPING MECHANISMS, between opioid addicts and non-addicts, in order to be able to declare another perspective for preventive and therapeutic interventions in opioid ADDICTION. The study was done in the addicts rehabilitation center of Iranshahr(Iran). It was a descriptive (cross-sectional) study, which was performed on two groups, 35 addicts , resident in the center, and 35 matched non-addict people fromIranshahr. They comleted the Carver COPING MECHANISMS questionnaire and their score in each mechanism were compared statistically with each other by t-test. Our analysis showed that the two groups had no difference in using problem solving focused coping, but their difference in using emotional focused and non-effective COPING MECHANISMS was statistically meaningful. Discussion: These findings, if replicated can help us in establishing educational programs in the field of coping skills for prevention of ADDICTION, especially in high risk groups; and also planning more effective strategies in therapeutic programs for opioid ADDICTION. The questionnaire can also be used for determining the risk of addictive behavior in young people.
