ABSTRACT

Aims Addiction is a brain disorder that is caused by compulsion in rewards despite adverse consequences. This study aimed at comparing life expectancy, feelings of guilt, and psychosomatic disorders between revealing female addicts under compulsory treatment and self-introduced female addicts.
Materials & Methods This cross sectional study was conducted among revealing female addicts under compulsory treatment and self-introduced female addicts in Zahedan in 2018. Of each group, 30 cases were randomly selected as sample. Eysenck Feelings of Guilt Scale, Schneider Life Expectancy Inventory, and Takata and Sakata Psychosomatic Disorders were used to collect the data. The data were analyzed by SPSS 21, using multivariate analysis of variance.
Findings Mean score of life expectancy in revealing female addicts (30.36±8.68) was lower than that of the self-introduced female addicts (37.80±7.14; F=14.20; p<0.01). Mean score of feelings of guilt in revealing female addicts (18.80±2.44) was higher than that of the self-introduced female addicts (16.86±3.00; F=26.32; p<0.01). Also, mean score of psychosomatic disorders in revealing female addicts (58.30±8.78) was higher than that of the self-introduced female addicts (52.70±9.47; F=24.73; p<0.01).
Conclusion The revealing female addicts have lower levels of life expectancy, higher levels of feelings of guilt, and psychosomatic disorders in comparison to the self-introduced female addicts.
