Substance use disorder (SUD) poses a significant public health challenge globally, with substantial impacts on physical and social well-being. This study investigates the interplay between abstinence self-efficacy (ASE), locus of control (LOC), perceived social support (PSS), and various socio-demographic and psychosocial factors among individuals undergoing SUD rehabilitation.
Researchers obtained permission from drug rehabilitation centers in Assam, India, and conducted orientation programs for prospective participants. A total of 144 participants, aged 18-65 years, predominantly from rural areas participated in the study. Data was collected through one-to-one interviews, covering socio-demographic history, drug abuse, and administering scales for ASE, LOC and PSS. Collected data underwent digitization and subsequent descriptive and inferential statistical analyses.
Significant associations were found between ASE and socio-demographic variables, family dynamics, and drug use history, highlighting the importance of considering these factors in SUD rehabilitation. Disturbed family relationships were linked to diminished ASE and higher risk of relapse, emphasizing the role of family support in recovery. Additionally, a negative correlation was observed between ASE and LOC, suggesting that individuals with higher ASE tend to have a more internal locus of control, which positively influences recovery outcomes. Moreover, positive correlations were found between ASE and PSS, particularly from family members, underscoring the importance of social support in fostering recovery. Regression analysis further elucidated the relationships between ASE, LOC, and PSS, emphasizing the predictive value of LOC and the impact of family support on ASE.
Findings of this study have several implications for developing targeted interventions aimed at strengthening ASE, promoting internal locus of control, and enhancing social support systems.
物质使用障碍（SUD）在全球范围内构成重大公共卫生挑战，对身心健康造成重大影响。本研究调查了 SUD 康复个体中禁欲自我效能（ASE）、控制点（LOC）、感知社会支持（PSS）与各种社会人口学和心理社会因素之间的相互作用。
研究人员获得了印度阿萨姆邦戒毒中心的许可，并为潜在参与者举办了介绍计划。共有 144 名年龄在 18-65 岁之间的参与者，主要来自农村地区，参加了这项研究。通过一对一访谈收集数据，涵盖社会人口历史、药物滥用，并为 ASE、LOC 和 PSS 量表进行施测。收集的数据经过数字化处理，随后进行描述性和推断性统计分析。
发现 ASE 与社会人口学变量、家庭动态和药物使用史之间存在显著关联，强调在 SUD 康复中考虑这些因素的重要性。不良的家庭关系与 ASE 降低和复发风险增加有关，强调家庭支持在康复中的作用。此外，还观察到 ASE 和 LOC 之间呈负相关，表明 ASE 较高的个体倾向于具有更内在的控制点，这对康复结果产生积极影响。此外，还发现 ASE 和 PSS 之间存在正相关，特别是来自家庭成员的支持，强调社会支持在促进康复中的重要性。回归分析进一步阐明了 ASE、LOC 和 PSS 之间的关系，强调了 LOC 的预测价值和家庭支持对 ASE 的影响。
本研究的结果对制定有针对性的干预措施具有重要意义，旨在增强 ASE、促进内在控制点和加强社会支持系统。
