United Arab Emirates is among the countries affected by substance use disorders (SUDs), which have economic and social impacts. Relapse after successful rehabilitation is a major issue in the treatment of SUD. Several factors increase the risk of relapse in patients with SUD, such as craving and negative social experiences. Resilience could empower patients struggling with SUD. This study aims to explore levels of resilience and relapse risk in adult Emirati patients diagnosed with SUD, and also the possible correlation between the two variables.
Two hundred eighty-six Emirati adult patients with SUD completed a self-administered questionnaire for demographics, resilience (Connor and Davidson Resilience Scale), and relapse risk (Stimulant Relapse Risk Scale). Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, SD, etc.) were used to describe study participants and variables. Inferential statistics were used to analyze the relationships, associations, and correlations between resilience and relapse risk, the main variables, and the participants demographics.
Participants' mean total score for resilience was 72.92 out of a maximum possible score of 100 (SD = 16.99), while their mean total score for relapse risk was 59.07 out of a maximum possible score of 105 (SD = 12.23). Furthermore, examining the correlation between the resilience subscales and the relapse risk subscales revealed similar significant, negative, low-to-moderate correlations between all the subscales (r = -0.486).
Protective and risk factors to enhance resilience and reduce relapse risk in patients with SUD were discussed.
阿拉伯联合酋长国是受物质使用障碍（SUDs）影响的国家之一，这些障碍具有经济和社会影响。成功康复后的复发是SUD治疗中的一个主要问题。几个因素会增加SUD患者复发的风险，如渴望和负面社会经历。心理韧性可以增强与SUD作斗争的患者的能力。本研究旨在探讨被诊断为SUD的成年阿联酋患者的心理韧性水平和复发风险，以及这两个变量之间可能的相关性。
286名患有SUD的阿联酋成年患者完成了一份关于人口统计学、心理韧性（康纳和戴维森心理韧性量表）和复发风险（兴奋剂复发风险量表）的自填问卷。描述性统计（频率、百分比、均值、标准差等）用于描述研究参与者和变量。推断性统计用于分析心理韧性和复发风险、主要变量以及参与者人口统计学之间的关系、关联和相关性。
参与者心理韧性的平均总分在满分100分中为72.92分（标准差 = 16.99），而他们复发风险的平均总分在满分105分中为59.07分（标准差 = 12.23）。此外，检查心理韧性子量表和复发风险子量表之间的相关性发现，所有子量表之间都存在类似的显著负相关，相关性低至中等（r = -0.486）。
讨论了增强SUD患者心理韧性和降低复发风险的保护因素和风险因素。
