Abstract

This study investigated the effect of men’s substance use disorders (SUD) to opiate-derived drugs on the psychopathology of their wives in Iran. This study was performed according to known reporting guidelines for the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Information about the study design, participants, sampling method, context, mean, standard deviation, and effect size from each study are extracted and tailored to this review. Also, covidence systematic review software is used in this study. The present study identified 405 records, of which 9 studies with 2533 participants were included for meta-analysis. The results showed that addicted men’s wives in comparison with non-addicted men’s wives had an increased risk of depression, generalized anxiety, specific phobia, interpersonal sensitivity and communication problems, obsessive-compulsive, somatization, hostility and aggression, paranoid thoughts, psychoticism, social dysfunction. Overall, husbands’ SUD to opiate-derived drugs results in the incidence of psychopathology in their wives.
