Abstract: (9 Views)
Introduction:Risky behaviors in women with addiction can lead to other social and psychological problems. The present study aimed to investigate the structural equation model in the relationship between risky addictive behaviors, metacognitive beliefs, attachment style, and the mediation of cognitive emotion regulation in women undergoing methadone maintenance treatment (MMT).
Methods: The method of the present study was descriptive-correlational with the structural equation model approach. The statistical population included women undergoing methadone maintenance treatment in Kermanshah city, from which 240 people who had referred to special counseling centers 1 and 2 in the first six months of 2024 were selected using the available sampling method. Data collection tools included the Risky Behavior Questionnaire of Moeini and Ahmadi (2014), Wells' Metacognitive Beliefs (2004), Collins and Reid's Attachment Style (1990), and Granofsky and Kraij's Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies (1999). Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling in SPSS version 28 and Smart PLS version 3 software.
Results: The results showed that there is a relationship between metacognitive barriers, attachment styles, and cognitive emotion regulation strategies and risky addictive behaviors (P<0/01). Also, cognitive emotion regulation strategies have a mediating role between metacognitive beliefs and attachment styles and risky addictive behaviors.
Conclusion:It can be said that metacognitive beliefs, attachment styles, and cognitive emotion regulation strategies play a role in the occurrence of risky addictive behaviors in women undergoing methadone maintenance treatment. Therefore, it is recommended that all mental health professionals provide psychological services to help reduce high-risk behaviors in this vulnerable group.
