“…However, multiple studies support the protective role of spirituality and self-transcendence in vulnerability to alcohol consumption that demonstrates the protective role of human beings' internal development to maintain conducts that contribute to states of well-being and health. [42][43][44] In addition, a review of the literature on harm avoidance documented inconsistent ndings among alcohol abuser's populations [29,45,46]. However, the results were not statistically signi cant in the present study.…”

Background: Corona virus epidemic may be acts as a stressor or trauma that affects both physical health and mental health. People exhibited various reactive behaviors to confront with this stressful situation. In Iran, one of the common motives for alcohol consumption is to scape problems and cope with stresses. It has been shown that personality factors influence alcohol consumption, since they are associated with drinking motives. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between temperament and character and alcohol abuse.Methods: This cross-section study was conducted on 135 alcohol intoxicated patients admitted to emergency room in March 2020 and 255 participants who were randomly selected from public in Shiraz. A questionnaire consisted of TCI (Temperament and character inventory) and several questions about COVID-19 pandemic. It was completed by a trained interviewer using the matched answer technique. Demographic factors were self-reported. Results: Among the alcohol intoxicated group, 117 (86.7%) were males and 18(13.3%) were females. The mean age of the participants was 32.43±10.81 years. Among control group, 99 (38.8%) were males and 156 (61.2%) were females. The mean age of control group was 33.12±14.77 years. Alcohol toxicity was mostly observed among the young males (male/female ratio was 6.45). According to temperament and character index, mean scores of novelty seeking, harm avoidant, and self-transcendence were higher in the alcohol toxicity group than normal population (P<0.01). Mean scores of reward dependent, cooperativeness, and self-directedness were higher in normal population than the alcohol toxicity group (P<0.001). The mean score of persistence was not significantly different between methanol intoxicated and normal population groups (P=0.718). Conclusion: Alcohol intoxicated patients had higher scores of novelty-seeking and self-transcendence and lower scores of reward-dependency scores, cooperativeness and self-directedness. These scores are associated with higher likelihood of personality disorders.

“…Similarly, Haugan () found that self‐transcendence significantly affected well‐being in elder residents whose feelings of vulnerability increased while residing in a nursing home. In another study, structural equation modelling to test this relationship in young adult college students further confirmed dynamics of self‐transcendence to well‐being (Díaz Heredia & Muñoz Sanchez, ). The self‐transcendence concept is also applied as a developmental resource in patients with severe illness or nurses to cope with distressful life experiences or job stress (Matthews & Cook, ; Pask, ).…”

Aims To examine the relationship between nursing staffs’ self‐transcendence and well‐being in long‐term care facilities and to investigate the mediating role of caring behaviours in the aforementioned relationship. Background Factors associated with the well‐being of healthcare providers influence the quality of care delivered. Although an increasing number of studies have shed light on the relationship between self‐transcendence and subjective well‐being, little is known of the mediating effect of caring behaviour in this relationship. Design The cross‐sectional design applied in this study included a questionnaire survey of long‐term care facilities. Methods Structural equation modelling with maximum likelihood estimation was used for empirical analysis of survey data obtained from 276 nurses and nurse‐aids in 55 long‐term care facilities. A bootstrapping method was used to analyse mediating effects. Results Tests of the measurement model and hypothesized model showed an adequate goodness of fit to the sample data. The results showed that nursing staffs’ self‐transcendence was related to their caring behaviours and well‐being. Moreover, caring behaviours partially mediated the relationship between self‐transcendence and well‐being. Conclusion Our findings provide insight into the influence of self‐transcendence and caring behaviours on the well‐being of nursing staffs in long‐term care settings. Further studies are needed to clarify the role of circumstances national wide.

“…The sample group selected from alcohol addicts may have led this result. According to the theory of Reeds (56,58), there is a linear relationship between psychological well-being and self-transcendence.

Investigation of depressive symptoms and related variables with depressive symptoms in alcohol and substance abusersObjective: It is aimed to evaluate the bonding and personality traits which are thought to affect the level of depressive symptoms in alcohol and substance abusers. Methods:The study sample consists of 289 patients diagnosed with alcohol and substance dependence, that have been followed up at inpatient or outpatient units of Ege University, The Institute on Drug Abuse, Toxicology and Pharmaceutical Science and Ege University, Department of Psychiatry Alcohol/Drug Dependency Unit. In the study, sociodemographic data form, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), Experiences in Close Relationships Inventory (ECRI) were applied by means of face to face interviews.Results: The mean age of the patients in the study was 32.5±11.0 years. It was found that 76.8% of the patients had high levels of depressive symptoms (BDI>17). It was determined that there was a significant difference between the level of avoidant attachment scores and depressive symptoms scores of the patients. In the evaluation of TCI scores according to BDI cut-off scores, it was found that depressive patients (BDI>17) have significant differences on the harm avoidance, cooperate and self-transcendence scores than those non-depressive patients (BDI<17). Conclusion:Our study showed that certain personality and bonding characteristics of the patient affected the depressive symptoms levels.
