Background: It is evident that the tendency to substance use is rooted in psychological traits, specifically impulsivity, and this leads to addiction in women. Therefore, examining the affecting factors of tendency to drug use, especially rumination, can be a way to prevent addiction in women.
Aims: The purpose of this study was to present a model of female prisoners' tendency to drug use based on impulsivity with the mediating role of rumination.
Methods: The research method was fundamental research and descriptive and correlational research (structural equation modeling analysis). The statistical population of this research included all women prisoners of Nesa prison in Urmia city in 2024 who had at least one year of imprisonment in prison (N=262). The statistical sample included 200 female prisoners who were selected based on available sampling method. Data of this research were collected using Wade and Butcher (1992) Addiction Readiness Scale, Barratt Impulsivity Questionnaire (1995) and Nolen-Hoeksma and Maro (1991) rumination scale. In order to analyze the data, structural equation modeling using AMOS-24 and SPSS-25 software was used.
Results: The results showed the optimal fit of the research model. The results proved that the impulsive behavior (B= 0.44) and rumination (B= 0.48) as well as impulsive behavior on rumination (B= 0.39) have a significant direct effect on the tendency to drug use of female prisoners. Besides, the results of the bootstrap test showed that there was a significant indirect effect of impulsive behavior on the tendency to drug use in female prisoners through rumination and the model was confirmed (p< 0/05).
Conclusion: According to the results obtained, rumination psychotherapy can be used to modify an important part of impulsivity in female prisoners and benefit them in preventing the tendency to drug use.
