Hubungan Kontrol Diri dengan Kecenderungan Relapse pada Penyalahguna Narkoba yang Menjalani Rehabilitasi Sosial di Sentra Insyaf Medan

Abstract

Drug abuse is a major and alarming challenge. One of the most common issues associated with drug abuse is repeated use, also known as relapse. Sel control is a crucial factor that needs to be considered and improved to prevent relapse in drug abusers. This study aims to identify the relationship between self-control and relapse tendency in drug abusers undergoing social rehabilitation at Sentra Insyaf Medan. The study employs an analytical correlational design using the Spearman statistical test, with a sample of 98 drug abusers selected through purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted using questionnaires. The results of the study indicate that the self-control level of drug abusers at Sentra Insyaf Medan falls into the low category, with 39 respondents (39.8%), while relapse tendency is categorized as high in 41 respondents (41.8%). The study findings show a negative relationship between self-control and relapse tendency, meaning that the higher the self-control, the lower the relapse tendency. The Spearman test results revealed a p-value of 0.001 (<0.005) and an r-value of -0.564. It is recommended that rehabilitation programs be enhanced to develop self-control, emotional management, and decision-making skills to prevent relapse among drug abusers.
