Abstract
Background: Substance abuse is one of the most common psychiatric problems
in the world. It results from the interaction of genetic and environmental factors
with unfavorable psychosocial statuses.
Objectives: The present study aimed to compare psychological hardiness between individuals
with and without Substance Use Disorder (SUD) in Hamadan City, Iran.
Materials and Methods: The present causal-comparative study was conducted on 200 people
(individuals with and without SUD) referring to substance abuse treatment centers in Hamadan,
during 2016. The participants were selected by the stratified random sampling method. The
required data were collected by the Ahvaz Psychological Hardiness Questionnaire and analyzed by
the independent-samples t-test.
Results: The results indicated a significant difference in psychological hardiness among participants
with and without SUD. Accordingly, the psychological hardiness of the participants with SUD was
generally lower than that of the participants without SUD (t=3.33, df=198, P-value of the first
column <0.05, P-value of the Levene’s test =0.37).
Conclusion: Psychological hardiness is statistically different in individuals with and without SU
