ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
This study was designed to evaluate the relationship between quality of life (QOL) and psycho-socio-spiritual characteristics in male patients with alcohol dependence.METHODS:
The sample consisted of 109 men with alcohol dependence defined by DSM-IV criteria. We assessed QOL by the WHO QOL assessment instrument-BREF (WHOQOL) and SmithKline Beecham QOL (SBQOL). Sociodemographic and alcohol related data were collected, and 7 questionnaires were administered MAST, BDI, STAI, Drinker Inventory of Consequences (DrInC), Scale of Social Support (SSS), Religious Beliefs and Behaviors (RBB) and Spiritual Well-being Scale (SWBS). The correlations between each QOL score and other variables were examined, and stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed.RESULTS:
The WHOQOL score positively correlated with education level, SSS (support) and RBB and negatively correlated with MAST, DrInC, BDI, STAI (trait) and SSS (conflict) scores. In stepwise regression analysis, the scores on the STAI and BDI contributed to the score on the WHOQOL. The SBQOL score correlated with the income level, and negatively correlated with BDI and STAI score. STAI score was a weak predictor of SBQOL score.CONCLUSION:
The significant predictors of QOL in patients with alcohol dependence were psychological factors such as anxiety and depression.
