About

The treatment process of substance addiction is applied principally by psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychiatric mental health nurses. In this respect, psychiatric mental health nurses have a crucial role to play. As they are the one who is in touch with the patients for 24 hours, psychiatric nurses can enhance the treatment process a lot through the application of a mindfulness-based relapse prevention program.

As drug abuse is such a devastating affliction, further knowledge about specific traits that may increase the chances of a successful recovery would be greatly beneficial to enhance treatment and decrease relapse rate. Accordingly, this study will be conducted to determine the effect of mindfulness-based relapse prevention program on readiness for change, and efficacy among clients with substance use disorder.

Intervention group

Experimental group

Description:

patients will under routine hospital care as well as MBRP. This program consists of eight sessions spanning across four weeks, each focusing on specific techniques and skills to aid in substance use disorder treatment. The first session emphasizes the correlation between the "unconscious pilot" and substance use, incorporating a "corporeal examination" technique to promote intentional concentration. The second session focuses on mindfulness to identify stimuli and observe accompanying sentiments, thoughts, and feelings. The third session introduces the "ABSTEMIOUS space" technique, urging patients to pause, observe their experiences, concentrate on breathing, broaden cognizance, and choose judicious responses in trying or hazardous situations. The remaining sessions address coping mechanisms for relapse risks, taking pragmatic action in high-risk situations, integrating healthy activities into life, and sustaining mindfulness practice through the development of a support network.
