- Abstract
Aims: This study examined the relationships between self‐transcendence and depressive symptoms, self‐esteem, and locus of control in persons with substance abuse disorder (SUDs). Methods: This descriptive‐relational study examined 115 participants who had been diagnosed with SUD. Results: High self‐transcendence scores were positively associated with lower levels of depressive symptoms, higher levels of self‐esteem, and internal locus of control. Practice implications: Mental health nurses are effective at finding and maintaining resources that promote self‐transcendence and support the potential and well‐being of individuals with SUD. This study addresses a research gap regarding self‐transcendence in such individuals; it provides a basis for nurses to develop interventions to strengthen the mental health of patients and conduct future investigations on the topic.
