Background: Emotional maturity is one of the important indicators that may be effective in controlling high-risk behaviors in young people. Considering the role of young women in society and in the family, the present study was conducted on female students living in the dormitory of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences to investigate the relationship between emotional maturity and the tendency to use drugs.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 259 female students residing in the dormitories of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences who were selected by simple random sampling. The emotional maturity of the subjects was determined using Singh and Bhargava's Emotional Maturity Scale, and its correlation with the scores from the Addiction Potential Scale was measured using Pearson's correlation test.
Findings: The results showed a significant correlation between the tendency to use drugs and the total emotional maturity score (P < 0.001), the emotional instability standard (P = 0.027, Emotional return (P < 0.001), social incompatibility (P = 0.009), and personality disintegration (P < 0.001). However, no significant relationship was observed between the tendency to use drugs and lack of independence (P = 0.328). Also, variables such as marital status, educational level and duration of residence in dormitory did not have a significant effect on emotional maturity and the tendency to use drugs (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: Increasing emotional maturity in dimensions of instability, emotional return, social incompatibility and personality disintegration can reduce the tendency toward drug use in the environmental and individual dimensions. Therefore, increasing emotional maturity can greatly affect the tendency toward drug abuse
