Description
Summary:This study aimed to identify the scores of quality of life and spirituality/religion and personal beliefs and their relationship to the number of relapses of 180 chemical dependents in recovery. This is a cross-sectional analytical study, whose instruments were sociodemographic questionnaire WHOQOL-Bref and WHOQOL-SRPB. For the analysis, we used descriptive statistics and linear regression (p<0.05) by the SPSS software, version 20.0. The subjects are mainly adults averaging 36 years old, single, with nine to 12 years of schooling, and family income from two to three minimum wages, Catholics and with five or more relapses. On quality of life, Physical domain had the highest score and Environment had the lowest. As for spirituality, Faith facet achieved the highest score and Inner Peace, the lowest. There was an association between the number of relapses and the social Relations domain and Admiration facet. Coping strategies towards drug addiction and relapses are necessary, based on the quality of life and spirituality/religion.
