Abstract
NEYRA-ELGUERA, Rosario Andrea; CANO-DAVILA, Michelle and TAYPE-HUARCA, Luis Alberto. Resilience and emotional intelligence in patients diagnosed with substance use disorder. Rev Neuropsiquiatr [online]. 2020, vol.83, n.4, pp.236-242. ISSN 0034-8597. http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/rnp.v83i4.3889.
The use of psychoactive substances has been related to various risk and protective factors in the search for optimization of treatment adherence and relapse prevention.
Objective
: To determine the relationship between resilience and emotional intelligence in patients diagnosed with addiction to psychoactive substances.
Material and Methods
: Quantitative, non-experimental, correlational and cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 43 patients, 13 women (30%) and 30 men (70%) between the ages of 15 and 53. The Wagnild and Young´s Resilience Scale (α 0.821) and the BarOn Emotional Quotient Inventory (α 0.833), were used.
Results
: The dimensions of resilience (self-reliance and perseverance) have a very significant positive influence on the emotional intelligence factors. i.e,, intrapersonal and general mood.
Conclusions:
In individuals diagnosed with addiction to psychoactive substances, the resilience capability is positively related to their general ability to face demands and pressures.
Keywords : Psychological resilience; emotional intelligence; substance addiction.
