Mental Health, Hope, and Psychological Capital in Women with Addicted and Healthy Husbands

Maisa Behnam, Rafideh FakhariShiraz

Abstract


Comparison of Mental Health, Hope, and Psychological Capital between Women with Addicted and Healthy Husbands. This casual-comparative study was performed between two groups of women having addicted and healthy husbands (each n=50) in GonbadKavous city (in Iran). Sampling was done voluntarily by convenience method. The tools used were General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28), Snyder's Hope Scale and Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ). Data was analyzed using SPSS software and MANCOVA method. There was a significant difference between the mental health, hope and psychological capital scores of women with addicted and healthy spouses, so that physical symptoms, anxiety, depression, and hopelessness of those with addicted spouses were higher and they had lower general health. Given the importance of mental health, hope, and psychological capital, therapists and policy makers should strive to develop programs with a special prevention approach for women with addicted spouses.
