Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship among the level of mindfulness, coping strategies and quality of life of drug addicts after they returned to society, and to discuss the rationality of carrying out intervention measures based on mindfulness education. This study recruited 97 drug addicts who had returned to society in Qujing city, Yunnan Province, China. Participants completed the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), the Trait Coping Style Questionnaire (TCSQ) and the Quality of Life Scale for Drug Addicts (QOL-DA). Collected data were analyzed through SPSS 25.0, the variance test between group, correlation test and Bootstrap analysis was adopted. The results show that the score of positive coping and quality of life of drug addicts with high level of mindfulness are higher than those with low level of mindfulness, and the difference is statistically significant (P<0.05). The mediating effect between positive coping and quality of life is 0.331, accounting for 72.1% of the total effect. The level of mindfulness mediates the relationship between coping strategies and quality of life of drug addicts returning to society. The results indicate that training to improve the level of mindfulness and coping skills should be carried out in certain communities.
