| Summary: | Introduction: Spouse abuse is a major human health and lawful problem and it refers to any violent sex related behavior that results in women s physical, sexual and mental suffering. In attention that spouse abuse has complications and unsatisfactory social and family outcomes, it is necessary to identify factors which hinder family function. Objective: The study assessed and compared the relationship between spouse abuse, social support and perceived stress in women with addicted and non-addicted husbands in Rasht city. Method: This is a descriptive analytical study. The sample consisted of 100 women (50 with addicted husbands and 50 with non-addicted husbands) who were selected by convenience sampling and answered the questionnaires of perceived stress, social support, and spouse abuse. The data was analyzed using statistical tests of independent T test, and correlation. Result: The analyzed data showed that there was a significant difference between variables of spouse abuse and its subscales ( physical, emotional, sexual, behavioral), social support, perceived stress, and its subscales(tangible support, emotional support, giving information, kindness, social interaction and total perceived stress score) in women with addicted and non-addicted husbands (p<0.01).
