Introduction: Success in quitting addiction requires completing the treatment process. The personality of the addict or its psychological disorders may play a mediating role in adherence to treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of personality components in the relationship between anxiety, stress, depression, and adherence to treatment.
Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted in addiction treatment clinics in Saqez with the participation of 131 men members of the Association of Anonymous Addicts. Data collection tools were the NEO personality questionnaire and the DASS-21 questionnaire which was completed as a self-report. Data were analyzed by the chi-square test, logistic regression, and Pearson correlation coefficient in SPSS 18 software.
Results: Depression and personality components (neuroticism, introversion, flexibility, agreement, responsibility) predict adherence to treatment in addicted patients, but among these variables, the neuroticism component is stronger (p = 0.001, 0.426, β = R2 = 0.178). Also, the components of personality and adherence to treatment are predictors of anxiety, among which the predictive flexibility is stronger (p = 0.001, β = 0.313, R2 = 0.021). Finally, the components of personality and adherence to treatment, except for responsibility, are predictors of stress, among which the predictive flexibility is stronger (p = 0.001, β = 0.354, R2 = 0.041).
Conclusion: Considering the effect of personality traits of addicted people in the occurrence of psychological problems such as depression, stress, anxiety, and adherence to their treatment, it is recommended to pay attention to the personality component and psychological problems of these people in education and treatment.
