Abstract

Objective: To understand the influencing factors of withdrawal motivation among drug Addictions during the period of forced withdrawal, reveal the mediating role of drug addiction level and stress perception in the relationship between social support and withdrawal motivation changes among drug Addictions, and further improve the theoretical system of compulsory drug withdrawal.

A structured questionnaire design was adopted to conduct a comprehensive survey on the basic information, degree of addiction, perceived stress, social support, and MQSMB. Descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, stepwise regression analysis, and structural equation modeling were used to process the obtained database.

Results: 1) The standardized regression coefficient β indicates that among the background factors affecting the Changes In MQSMB, gender is the most important (β = 0.142*), marriage is the second most important (β = -0.127*), and active addiction cessation experience is the smallest (β = 0.117*); 2) Stepwise regression analysis showed that personal background, addiction level, social support, and perceived stress had predictive powers of 14.2%, 9.1%, 5.5%, and 7.7%, respectively, for changes in MQSMB; 3) Social support can significantly reduce the addiction level and stress perception of drug addicts. The degree of addiction not only plays an mediating role in the change of social support and MQSMB, but also assumes a chain mediating role through the combination of stress perception.
