Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 10
Abstract
Even though the government has taken many steps to overcome the drug problem among former drug addicts, this problem persists. This study aims to find out if there exists a relationship between the personal factors, which are problem-focused coping, emotion-focused coping, and evasive coping and the inclination to relapse among former drug addicts. This study involves 242 former drug addicts and utilizes the Coping Strategy Inventory (COPE) questionnaire set by Carver, Scheier & Weintraub (1989). The Reliability Coefficient of scales utilizing the Cronbach’s alpha analysis found all to be greater than .70. Studies found the level of coping for the three aspects of coping among former drug addicts are at a medium stage. Furthermore, the inferential analysis for the factors of problem-focused coping, emotion-focused coping, and evasive coping, and the inclination to relapse show the relationship strength to be between r=.06 and r=.05. This study shows the problem-focused coping, emotion-focused coping, and evasive coping factors are factors identified as related to the inclination to relapse. The positive association for the coping factors shows the existence of a positive relationship between the three coping aspects and the inclination to relapse.
