Motivational Personality Sphere and Psychoemotional Features in Patients with Drug Addiction Disorders at Different Stages of the Treatment and Rehabilitation Process (Part I)

Abstract

The aim of the study was to analyze dynamic changes in the motivational and psychoemotional features of patients with drug addiction disorders at different stages of the treatment and rehabilitation process (TRP). The study involved 226 patients (163 men and 63 women) with narcological disorders. The following scales were used: Socrates, DASS-21 and GSE. Using the Socrates scale, results were obtained indicating: 1) significantly higher scores on the Ambivalence subscale at the early and recovery stages of the TRP in patients diagnosed with alcohol dependence (p≤0.05); 2) significantly higher scores on the total score (p≤0.001), the Ambivalence subscale (p≤0.05), and the Action subscale (p≤0.05) (p≤0.05) at the restorative and stabilizing stages of LRP, typical for women. Evaluation of the features of the DASS-21 revealed: 1) the presence of signs of moderate depression in patients with drug dependence (p≤0.01) and mild stress (p≤0.01) at the early stage of TRP were determined; 2) at the restorative stage of TRP, a higher level of depression (p≤0.01), anxiety (p≤0.05) and stress (p≤0.001) was detected in the group of patients with drug dependence. The analysis of the results obtained will make it possible to provide targeted assistance to patients with drug use disorders and increase the effectiveness of psychological and psychotherapeutic interventions in clinical practice.
