Book excerpt: The Impact of Resilience, Spirituality, and Self-Regulation on the Quality of Life of Adults with Opioid Use Disorder in the Gulf State of Oman Abstract By HAMED MUBARAK AL BATTASHI Substance use is currently recognized as a chronic brain disease and a significant public health concern. In Oman, the percentage of individuals seeking substance use treatment in 2017 increased by 44% when compared to 2016. A total of 64% of the individuals who reported substance use problems are below 35 years old. Easy access to alcohol and other substances, family histories of substance use, and traumatic experiences during childhood were some of the primary risk factors reported by individuals in Oman who are substance users. Individual and family self-management theory and the bio-psycho-social-spiritual model of addiction were used as theoretical frameworks to guide the development and implementation of the study. The study addressed the following aims: (1) explore the variability and extent of resilience, spirituality, self-regulation, and quality of life (QOL), (2) investigate the impact of resilience and spirituality on self-regulation, (3) examine the impact of self-regulation on QOL, and (4) assess how does self-regulation mediates how resilience and spirituality predict QOL. This descriptive, cross-sectional study utilized a convenience sampling technique to recruit 109 adult participants diagnosed with opioid use disorder or polysubstance use including opioids. The study was implemented in two treatment centers in Oman. Data xiii were collected using the Resilience Research Center-Adult Resilience Measure (PRCARM), Spiritual Involvement and Beliefs Scale (SIBS), Cognitive-Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), Emotional Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES), and the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL) Scale (WHOQOL-BREF). The SPSS 25 statistical package was used to analyze descriptive data and conduct various multiple linear regressions. The levels of resilience (M=58.77; SD=9.928), cognitive regulation (M=122.59; SD=17.991), emotion regulation (M=88.56; SD=13.300), and QOL domains (Overall QOL M=2.95; SD=1.100) (Overall health M=3.09; SD=1.085) (Physical M=41.90; SD=18.559) (Psychological M=39.12; SD=18.572) (Social M=37.43; SD=22.190) (Environment M=46.75; SD=16.067) were significantly low among this population. High levels of spirituality were reported (M=99.80; SD=12.051). Age, duration of substance use, substance severity, and mental illness comorbidity were significantly correlated with the QOL of this sample. The tested regression models reported different significant effects. This study's findings filled gabs in current substance use literature and provided insights for practice and future research.
