Abstract

Introduction: Drug dependence is one of the most social pathologies that it is discussed as a problem of biological, psychological and social. Social and family relationships are effective in treatment of addicts. If unhealthy relationships are used, increase daily stress and decrease treatment readiness of drug dependence. This study was performed to determine role of stress in treatment readiness of drug dependence based on Health Belief Model in Hamadan. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study (descriptive – analytical), was conducted on 118 addicts of Hamadan in 2013. Sampling was simple random. Questionnaires were completed with self-report and interview. Data gathering tools were included: Questionnaire designed based on HBM constructs, Readiness to Treatment Questionnaire, Perceived Stress Scale. T-test and Regression test were used to assess hypotheses and SPSS-16 to analyze data. Results: Regression test showed statistically significant relationship between perceived severity of stress impact and self-efficacy for treatment of drug dependence with treatment readiness of drug dependence (P≤0.05). By increasing self-efficacy (r=0. 41) and perceived severity (r=0.17), increases treatment readiness of drug dependence. Conclusion: It is suggested appropriate educational programs for assessing the effect of stress management on treatment readiness of drug dependence, with emphasis on the Health Belief Model structures that have the most impact.
