| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 行為醫學研究所 === 94 === Objectives: Previous studies didn’t consistently supported that craving intensity would relate to drug reuse. And many studies suggest that refusal self-efficacy would relate to craving. This study was designed to examine how different craving dimensions, refusal self-efficacy predict the abstention records among heroin-use offenders.
Method: A cross-section study design was conducted in a sample of 386 male heroin-users in Tainan and Pingtung drug abstention and treatment centers. The subjects had to finish the demography questionnaire, craving scale, and self-efficacy list for drug use (SELD). Craving scale was used to assess craving intensity, frequency, and craving for drug-related stimulus, and four items from SELD were used to measure refusal self-efficacy when craving. Researches hypothesis that craving for drug-related stimulus and refusal self-efficacy when craving could predict the heroin-use offenders’ abstention records. Multiple hierarchical regressions were put to exam this hypothesis.
Result: Craving for drug-related stimulus and refusal self-efficacy when craving could separate directly predict the heroin-use offenders’ abstention records. And craving intensity and frequency couldn’t predict the heroin-use offenders’ abstention records.
Conclusion: The predictive power of different craving dimensions is significant difference. And craving for drug-related stimulus, instead of craving intensity and frequency, could predict the heroin-use offenders’ abstention records directly.
