Abstract: (202 Views)
Objective: The current study aimed to investigate the mediating role of mindfulness in the relationship between risk perception and substance use relapse in men with substance dependence in recovery. Method: This was a descriptive-correlational study using path analysis. The statistical population included men with substance dependence in recovery in Semnan from 2023-2024. The sample size was determined to be 368 individuals using Cochran's formula and a purposive sampling method. The instruments used were the relapse prediction scale, the risk perception index, and the five-factor mindfulness questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation and path analysis. Results: Risk perception and mindfulness showed a negative significant direct link to substance use relapse. However, mindfulness did not significantly mediate the relationship between risk perception and substance use relapse. Conclusion: Considering the established relationship between risk perception and mindfulness, as well as the independent associations of both risk perception and mindfulness with substance use relapse among abstinent men with substance dependence, it is suggested that interventions based on mindfulness and the enhancement and education of risk perception be considered to mitigate substance use relapse.
