Abstract

Background: Chronic DRUG ABUSE cause significant changes in the foundations of the personality. Changes that could challenge the consequences of the treatment. The present study is conducted with the aim of examining the relationship between borderline personality traits and the level of CRAVING for use in individuals dependent to stimulant drugs.Methods: The study is correlational as a cross-sectional study in the area of descriptive design. 114 male and female (N=114) METHAMPHETAMINE users (age range of 18-35 years and average age of 22.7 years) who got the highest scores in Borderline Personality Questionnaire in screening stage, were selected and the CRAVING for use was evaluated in them using Visual Index Scale of Assessing CRAVING for Use. Data were analyzed using independent t test and Pearson test.Results: Results showed there is a positive significant relationship between borderline personality traits and the level of CRAVING use in the both sex (r=0.26, p=0.006 in women, and r=0.19, p=0.008 in men). Also, there is a significant difference between the severity of borderline symptoms (p<0.044) and CRAVING use (p<0.049) according to the sex index. That is, women scored higher in both components.Conclusion: The present findings could be taken into account when planning measures in the field of ADDICTION treatment. Also personality characteristics deserve to be considered in planning appropriate interventions.
