Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between values and psychological
resilience in individuals with substance use disorder. This descriptive and correlational
study was conducted with 70 individuals diagnosed with substance use disorder who
had applied to the Alcohol and Drug Addiction Treatment and Research Center between
February and April 2022 and volunteered to participate in the study. The data were
collected using the Personal Information Form, Values Scale, and Brief Resilience
Scale (BRS). All participants were male, the average age of substance use onset was
17.67 ± 5.95 years, and they had been receiving addiction treatment for 1.97 ± 2.30 years
on average. The average total score of the individuals on the BRS scale was 17.18 ± 1.45.
A significant positive correlation was found between the social values, intellectual
values, spiritual values, materialistic values, human dignity, and freedom sub-dimensions
of the Values Scale and psychological resilience (p < .001). Additionally, spiritual values were found to have the highest positive effect
on the psychological resilience levels of individuals (B = 0.185; p < .05). Individuals with higher levels of social values, intellectual values, spiritual
values, materialistic values, human dignity, and freedom were found to have higher
psychological resilience. Nursing care provided by taking into account the values
of the individual and strengthening their values may contribute to the psychological
resilience of the patient.
