Abstract

members of individuals with substance use disorders, whether in treatment or not. Method: cross-sectional and correlational study with the participation of 81 family members of individuals with substance use disorders, whether in treatment or not, belonging to primary health care services in a city in São Paulo, Brazil. Data collection was done through the application of the Hope, Spirituality, and Resilience scales in the form of an interview. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the results. Results: the majority of family members were female (86.4%) and mothers (45.7%), with a higher prevalence between 50 and 69 years of age (60.5%). There was a moderate positive correlation between hope, resilience, and spirituality, with the strongest correlation between spirituality and hope. The higher these two forces, the higher the family member's resilience. Conclusion:family members of individuals with substance use disorders, even with the adversities they face, showed good levels of hope, spirituality, and resilience.
