Abstract

Background: Adjustment disorder is one of the most common psychiatric disorders, and it is important to determine the factors involved in it. This study investigated the predictive role of individual, social, and psychological determinants in adjustment disorder.

Materials and Methods: The current research design is descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of the research includes 402 people living in Tehran, who were selected through the convenience sampling method. Data were collected using the International Adjustment Disorder Questionnaire (IADQ), Death Anxiety Scale (DAS), Fear of Covid-19 Scale (FCV-19S), Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale (MSPSS) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience scale (CD-RISC) was collected and analyzed using SPSS-26 software with multiple linear regression analysis in a stepwise method.

Results: The results of the correlation test showed a significant relationship between predicting variables of fear of infected by Covid-19, perceived social support, resilience, and marital status with adjustment disorder, and the results of multiple linear regression showed that adjustment disorder was explained by the highest contribution of resilience variables (0.220). β=-, P=0.000), perceived social support (β=-0.153, P=0.003), fear of infected by Corona (β=0.150, P=0.002) and status Marriage was (β=0.109, P=0.031).

Conclusion: Resilience, perceived social support, fear of infected by COVID-19 and marital status play a role in adjustment disorder and can explain the variability of adjustment disorder. As a result, it seems important to consider these variables in people with adjustment disorder.
