Introduction: One of the biggest problems of human societies is the problem of drug addiction. Accordingly, the present study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the effectiveness of time perspective therapy (TPT) on locus of control and self-efficacy of quitting in substance-dependent individuals.
Method: The study population consisted of all individuals with substance use disorder presenting at addiction treatment centers in Kermanshah in 2024. Following initial screening and diagnosis, a convenience sample of 40 participants was randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group. Data were collected using the locus of control (RLOC) and the self-efficacy of quitting (BQAS) of substance-dependent individuals. Both groups completed a pretest, followed by the experimental group receiving six 90-minute sessions of TPT, administered weekly. The control group received no intervention. Posttest data were collected from both groups immediately following the intervention, with a follow-up assessment conducted two months later. Finally, repeated measures analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc test at a significance level of 0.05 were used for analysis using SPSS-26 software.
Results: Significant main effects of time (p<0.001), group (p<0.001), and a significant time-by-group interaction effect (p<0.001) were observed for locus of control and self-efficacy of quitting in substance-dependent individuals, as well as their respective subscales. These findings indicate the effectiveness of TPT on locus of control and self-efficacy of quitting in individuals with substance use disorder during posttest and follow-up assessments, compared to the control group. Furthermore, significant differences were found between pretest scores and both posttest and follow-up scores in the experimental group for locus of control, self-efficacy of quitting in substance-dependent individuals, and their subscales (p<0.001). However, no significant difference was observed between posttest scores and follow-up scores for these variables (p>0.05), suggesting the enduring impact of TPT on locus of control and self-efficacy of quitting in substance-dependent individuals.
Discussion and conclusion: Overall, the findings suggest that TPT is effective in reducing external locus of control and enhancing self-efficacy of quitting in individuals with substance use disorder. It is recommended that TPT be implemented by specialists in counseling and treatment centers to reduce external locus of control and increase self-efficacy of quitting.
