“…The findings of this study supported a relationship between cultivating a more mindful way of being and a tendency to experience better HRQOL. Considering a relationship between poor HRQOL and addiction ( 6 ), the development of short-term efficient therapeutic techniques such as MBSR for increasing HRQOL is crucial. The generalization of the results of the present study was limited by the small sample; hence, future research should focus on larger and more heterogeneous samples of individuals with substance use disorders.…”

Background:Nowadays drug dependence has become one of the main concerns worldwide. Indeed, drug dependence and abuse have become personal, social and, health problems that intensively threat human resources.Objectives:This study aimed to examine the effect of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in drug-dependent males.Patients and Methods:An experimental research with pretest/posttest design and a control group was conducted on 49 drug-dependent males. The selected individuals were randomly allocated to the study groups (24 to the experimental and 25 to the control groups). Afterwards, the Short Form Health Survey for HRQOL (SF-36) questionnaire was completed by participants. Subsequently, the experiment group experienced eight 90-minute sessions of training in MBSR. At the end of the training, the subjects were evaluated once again by SF-36. The independent-samples t test and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were used to analyses data.Results:The results suggested that the mean differences between groups regarding scales of role emotional, vitality, mental health, social functioning, and bodily pain were statistically significant (P < 0.05).Conclusions:Using MBSR is recommended for improving HRQOL in drug-dependent males who are undergoing treatment for their drug dependence in addiction treatment center; however, more studies concerning different drugs as well as drug dependence in women must be performed.

“…In fact, HRQOL is used for evaluating daily life effects on health ( 5 ). The findings of the research by Khajedaluee et al demonstrated that drug abuse led to reduced HRQOL in all domains in comparison with control group and suggested that different aspects of HRQOL in addicted people were impaired ( 6 ).…”

“…Addiction in Iran is a primarily masculine phenomenon, and in the traditional Iranian culture, the father is responsible for providing for the family and meeting its needs; furthermore, adolescents are known in the community according to the names of their fathers (6, 12). Therefore, understanding paternal addiction is necessary when seeking to prevent adolescent suicide attempts and rehabilitate adolescents who have attempted suicide.…”

BackgroundResearch shows that parents have an immense influence over their children’s behavior during adolescence. Adolescents who grow up with parents who are addicted to drugs and alcohol are more likely to turn to self-destructive behaviors such as suicide attempts. Because addiction in Iran is a primarily masculine phenomenon and in traditional Iranian culture, the father is responsible for family affairs and is recognized as the family provider, paternal addiction affects adolescent children. However, the impact of this type of parental addiction on adolescent suicide attempts has received little attention.ObjectivesThis study was conducted to assess the impact of paternal addiction on adolescent suicide attempts.Patients and MethodsThis was a qualitative study that used a grounded theory approach. Thirteen participants, from two hospitals in Shiraz (southern Iran), were interviewed. We used purposeful sampling, followed by theoretical sampling. Data were collected from in-depth semi-structured interviews. Data analysis was done using Strauss and Corbin’s (1998) approach, followed by the constant comparative method.ResultsThe mean age of the adolescents was 15.75 ± 1.83, and all of them were single. Five main themes were extracted from the data: mental health problems, relationship problems, financial problems, family problems, and imitation of risky behaviors.ConclusionsThe findings suggest that in addition to the need to consider paternal addiction in health care plans, it is also necessary to pay attention to other family members, including the adolescents themselves. Health care providers, including nurses, can use the findings from this study for the purposes of prevention and education.

“…Thus, because of this increased longevity and life expectancy, quality of life (QoL) has become an important issue in the public health sector. 3 According to the WHO Quality of Life Group, 'Quality of life is the individual's perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and the value systems in which they live in relation to their goals, expectations, standards, and concerns. It is a broad concept affected in a complex way in which the person's physical health, psychological state, level of independence, and social relationships are salient features of their environment'.…”

ObjectivesWe examined correlations between number and gender of offspring and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and quality of life (QoL) in older adults.SettingWe used data from the 2006–2012 data sets of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging.ParticipantsThere were 10 242, 8680, 7907 and 7480 participants in 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2012, respectively.InterventionsNumber and gender of offspring.Primary and secondary outcome measuresWe measured participants’ QoL and HRQoL using a visual analogue scale developed by the Korea Labour Institute and which is similar to the EQ-VAS, a European measure.ResultsWe estimated the HRQoL and QoL of individuals with offspring. Estimates for the HRQoL and QoL of parents with no offspring were −7.762 and −9.384, respectively (both p<0.0001) versus parents with two offspring. For parents with five or more offspring, the estimates for the HRQoL and QoL were −1.529 and 0.885, respectively (p<0.001 and p<0.017, respectively) compared with parents with two offspring. For fathers with no offspring compared with fathers with two offspring, the estimates for the HRQoL and QoL were −6.143 and −7.492, respectively (both p<0.0001).ConclusionsThese results suggest that number of offspring is associated with both HRQoL and QoL. Those with no offspring showed the lowest HRQoL and QoL. Although having five or more children had positive associations with QoL, it had negative associations with HRQoL. Public health services for those with poor quality of life should provide effective support programmes and services based on these findings.
