A study on the effects of addiction level, stress, and social support of drug relapse patients on changes in motivation of quiting substance misuse behaviors by Shiqi Liu, Tingran Zhang, Yi Yang, Kun Wang, Jiong Luo

“…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. …”
