Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of resilience in the relationships of type D personality and parent-child relationship quality to craving after substance withdrawal. Method: This research was a cross-sectional descriptive-correlational design. The statistical population consisted of substance-dependent men aged 20 to 60 years referring to addiction treatment centers in Rasht city. A sample of 200 individuals with a history of at least one year of substance use was selected using purposive sampling. The data were collected using the parent-child relationships scale, the type D personality scale, the Connor-Davidson resilience scale, and the post-detoxification craving and temptation scale. The data were analyzed using path analysis. Results: The final model after modification (i.e., removing the path from parent-child relationship quality to craving after withdrawal) showed a desirable fit with the data. The results revealed that the direct path coefficients from type D personality and resilience to craving after withdrawal were significant. Additionally, both type D personality and parent-child relationship quality had significant indirect effects on craving after withdrawal through the mediation of resilience. Conclusion: The results revealed that type D personality and poor parent-child relationship quality may increase craving for resumption of use among substance-dependent men with lower resilience. Strengthening resilience can act as a defensive shield against the harmful effects of type D personality and poor parent-child relationship quality in preventing substance relapse.
