Abstract
Background: One of the main reasons for the tendency towards tramadol abuse is to help improve sexual dysfunctions, including strengthening erections and increasing the time of intercourse during sexual intercourse. This issue can lead to addiction and it is very important to investigate this issue. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between cognitive-emotional dimensions and psychological sexual outcomes in people dependent on tramadol and the mediating role of sexual dysfunction.
Methods: This is a descriptive-cross-sectional and correlational research that was conducted in the fall and winter of 2023 in the city of Tabriz. The statistical population of this research included all men dependent on tramadol in Tabriz addiction treatment clinics. During this research, 405 people dependent on tramadol were observed and examined in a period of 5 months. In this research, available and targeted sampling method was used. In order to collect data from questionnaires of Sexual modes questionnaire (SMQ), sexual dysfunction questionnaire (SDQ), International index of erectile function (IIEF), Sexuality scale (SS) (An Instrument to Measure Sexual-Esteem, Sexual-Depression, and Sexual-Preoccupation) and Sexual distress scale-short form (SDS-SF) was used and the direction of data analysis. Structural equation model evaluation method and SPSS version 21 and AMOS version 22 software were used.
Results: This study showed that cognitive-emotional dimensions are related to sexual psychological outcomes in tramadol-dependent individuals through the mediating role of sexual dysfunction.
Conclusion: Cognitive-emotional dimensions are related to sexual dysfunction, and sexual dysfunction with negative psychological consequences paves the way for tramadol abuse. It is suggested that these relationships should be taken into consideration in the treatment of tramadol abuse due to the mediating role of sexual dysfunction.
