Predicting relapse to addiction based on psychological capital and coping styles

The present study aimed to investigate the prediction of relapse to addiction based on psychological capital and coping styles. This study was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population included all addicts who were quitting in addiction treatment camps and rehabilitation centers in Sabzevar city. Based on the statistics of the three active centers, the number of these individuals was 187. According to the Krejci and Morgan table and the available sampling method, finally 120 people who were willing to cooperate were selected as a sample. The data collection tools included the Luthans Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ), the Endler and Parker Coping Styles Questionnaire (1990), and the Probability of Relapse to Stimulant Abuse Scale. The data were analyzed using SPSS-28 software and descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation coefficient and simultaneous multiple regression). The results showed that there is a negative and significant relationship between psychological capital and coping styles with relapse to addiction. Multiple regression analysis indicated that these two variables were able to explain about 50% of the variance in relapse to addiction. Among the variables, psychological capital was the strongest negative predictor (inhibitory), while among the coping styles, emotion-focused style was a positive predictor and avoidant style was a negative predictor. Accordingly, it can be said that strengthening the components of psychological capital and training adaptive coping styles can play an important role in reducing the risk of relapse to addiction.
