Abstract
Purpose: The current study aimed to evaluate the effects of a brain awareness psychoeducation intervention on metacognition, self-efficacy, and treatment motivation, and examine its impact on relapse prevention in patients with substance use disorder (SUD).
Method: A randomized control group design was used. Seventy-seven inpatients were included. The experimental group (EG, n = 39) received a brain awareness intervention (BAI) and the control group (CG, n = 38) received education about general health in addition to standard treatment. Metacognition, self-efficacy, and treatment motivation were assessed at baseline, postintervention, and follow up using validated scales.
Results: The EG showed significant improvements in metacognition, self-efficacy, and treatment motivation compared with the CG. Pathological metacognitive activities significantly decreased, whereas self-efficacy perception and treatment motivation increased and relapse rates decreased.
Conclusion: The BAI significantly reduced relapse rates, demonstrating that incorporating neurocognitive awareness practices into standard treatment protocols enhances outcomes in treatment for SUD and psychiatric nursing practice.

目的：本研究旨在评估脑意识心理教育干预对物质使用障碍（SUD）患者元认知、自我效能感和治疗动机的影响，并探讨其对预防复发的影响。方法：采用随机对照组设计。纳入了77名住院患者。实验组（EG, n = 39）接受脑意识干预（BAI），对照组（CG, n = 38）在标准治疗的基础上接受一般健康教育。元认知、自我效能和治疗动机在基线、干预后和随访时使用有效的量表进行评估。结果：脑电组在元认知、自我效能和治疗动机方面均较脑电组有显著改善。病理性元认知活动显著减少，而自我效能感和治疗动机增加，复发率下降。结论：BAI可显著降低复发率，表明将神经认知意识实践纳入标准治疗方案可提高SUD治疗和精神科护理实践的效果。[社会心理护理与精神卫生服务杂志，xx(x), xx-xx.]
