| Summary: | 碩士 === 義守大學 === 管理碩博士班 === 105 === The studies explored that the relationship of family support and methadone maintenance therapy (MMT), and the learned resourcefulness were able to effectively enhance individual adaptability and there were a higher life satisfaction.Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the demographic variables and quality of life (QOL), and to compare the effects of the family support, learned resourcefulness on the QOL among the heroin addicts receiving MMT.
A cross-sectional correlation design was adopted and totally recruited 200 subjects who receiving MMT from the psychiatric hospital in southern Taiwan. The structural questionnaires included “ Family Support Scale”,” Self-Control Scale” and “The World Health Organization Questionnaire on Quality of Life: Short Form--Taiwan Version”(The WHOQOL-BREF--Taiwan version). The collected data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, Persons correlation, one-way ANOVA , and multiple regression analysis .
The Study findings that most subjects were male, single , and average age was 43.52 years old. The overall quality of life, physical health, psychological, social relationships, and environment for the four domains of the WHOQOL-BREF were moderate level. There were significant differences in satisfaction with the overall quality of life by gender, marriage, job, frequency of detoxification, continue to use drugs and taking methadone regularly. And we found that those QOL would be slightly decreased due to age, the higher monthly household income had a better quality of life. The Family support and learned resourcefulness were significantly positive correlated with overall quality of life and four domains of the WHOQOL-BREF, and to eliminate the influence of demographic variables, the family support and learned resourcefulness were the predictors for QOL.
Based on the results of this study, we suggest that the heroin addicts take methadone regularly, and help them transform or internalize as self-control of the learned resourcefulness through job and family supports, to put an end to the use of heroin as well as to promote the quality of life.
