Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Addiction is a chronic and relapsing disorder characterized by compulsive drug seeking and lasting changes in the brain. Low quality of life may influence the substance craving, which leads to relapsing. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between beliefs in substance craving and quality of life among narcotics anonymous.
METHODS: This cross-sectional study was performed on 202 narcotics anonymous in Kerman, southeastern Iran. Convenience sampling was used to select anonymous patients in the Narcotics Anonymous (NA) association in Kerman city. Narcotics anonymous completed the demographic questionnaire, the Craving Beliefs Questionnaire (CBQ), and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF). Multiple linear regression model was used to determine the predictors of craving beliefs. The data were then analyzed using SPSS 22.
RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 38.48 ± 11.32 years. The majority of the samples were male (86.1%), married (65.4%), educated (93.6%) and urban (86.1%). The mean scores of craving beliefs and overall Quality of Life (QOL) were 77.58 ± 20.70 and 64.42 ± 23.13, respectively. Forty-two-point 1% had high level of craving beliefs. We found a significant negative and weak correlation between beliefs in substance craving, physical health domain (r = -0.16, p = 0.02), and overall quality of life (r = -0.15, p = 0.03). History of crack use, job, and physical health domain of QOL were predictors of beliefs in substance craving among the NAs.
CONCLUSIONS: Based on the study results, the participants had a high level of substance craving, and some aspects of the quality of life had an impact on the beliefs of addiction. However, it is necessary to conduct more studies in this field; psychological interventions and programs to increase the quality of life may reduce the substance craving.

摘要：
背景：成瘾是一种慢性复发性疾病，其特征是强迫性药物寻求和大脑中的持久变化。生活质量低下可能会影响物质渴望，导致复发。因此,本研究旨在调查麻醉品匿名者对物质渴望的信念与生活质量之间的关系。
方法：这项横断面研究是对Kerman的202名匿名麻醉品进行的，伊朗东南部。在克尔曼市的麻醉品匿名（NA）协会中，使用便利抽样来选择匿名患者。匿名麻醉品填写了人口调查问卷，渴望信念问卷(CBQ)，和世界卫生组织生活质量-BREF（WHOQOL-BREF）。多元线性回归模型用于确定渴望信念的预测因子。然后使用SPSS22分析数据。
结果：参与者的平均年龄为38.48±11.32岁。大部分样本为男性(86.1%),已婚（65.4%），受过教育(93.6%)和城市(86.1%)。渴望信念和整体生活质量（QOL）的平均得分分别为77.58±20.70和64.42±23.13。42分1％的人有很高的渴望信念。我们发现物质渴望的信念之间存在显著的负相关和弱相关，身体健康领域(r=-0.16，p=0.02)，和总体生活质量（r=-0.15，p=0.03）。裂缝使用的历史，工作,QOL的身体健康领域是NAs对物质渴望的信念的预测因子。
结论：根据研究结果，参与者有很高的物质渴望，生活质量的某些方面对成瘾的信念有影响。然而,有必要在这一领域进行更多的研究；提高生活质量的心理干预和计划可能会减少对物质的渴望。
