إستراتيجيات التعامل مع الأحداث الضاغطة لدى المدمنين على المخدرات

The aim of this study is to identify the drug addicts’s coping strategies with stressful events. The study was conducted on a sample of 100 men with an average age of 24.78 year old. Those are in Blida rehabilitation institution. In order to achieve hypotheses of study, two scales have been applied, namely, the Lazarus and Folkman « Ways of coping check- list » and the Skinner « Drug Abuse Screening Test ». Results showed that addict is confronted with various stressful events, but he shows low score of problem-focused coping strategies, and high score of emotion-focused coping strategies mainly, escape/ avoidance and distancing. As shown, the score of the strategy “seeking social support” is also low. Therefore the addict finds it difficult to cope with the stressful life events.
