RELAPSE
In conclusion, the purpose of the current study was to investigate the relationship between sleep disorders and substance users' relapse, as well as the potential mediating mechanisms and corresponding interventions. The relapse inclination was used to predict the participants' post-treatment relapse behavior because they were all receiving mandatory isolation treatment in drug rehabilitation institutions and thus had no access to external drugs. Relapse inclination refers to the propensity of substance users to intake substances again after successful treatment. We proposed the following hypotheses in light of the literature review:H1: Sleep disorders of substance users will be directly associated with relapse inclination.H2: Quality of life will mediate the relationship between sleep disorders and relapse inclination.H3: Health Qigong intervention targeting sleep disorders could effectively improve sleep quality, enhance the quality of life, and then reduce relapse inclination.
