Abstract :

Drug addiction has been recognized as a global problem for many years, substance use disorders in families are increasing day by day, and violence against women has become a serious problem. Therefore, The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of rumination and perfectionism on violence against women with the mediating role of resilience among women with addicted husbands. The current research was a descriptive-correlation type. The statistical population of the present study consisted of all women with husbands suffering from substance abuse disorder in Mashhad. The sample size was determined to be 132 people using G-power software, and 165 people were tested in order to meet the possible future dropouts. The questionnaires used were the rumination scale of Nolen-Hoeksema and Morrow, the positive and negative perfectionism scale, the Connor and Davidson resilience scale and the violence against women. Resilience directly predicts violence against women (p<0.01, β=0.30). In addition, rumination (p<0.05, β=0.08) and perfectionism (p<0.05, β=0.08) were two variables that were indirectly influencing violence against women through resilience. This means that less rumination and perfectionism increase resilience in the individual and thus reduce violence against women. Women who have higher resilience can better distinguish between their positive and negative emotions. This ability of women makes them better able to control difficult situations when faced with the violence of their husbands. This causes the relationship of such couples to be less challenged and violent.
