Abstract

Introduction: Relapse is a common treatment outcome for many substance misusers. How a relapse is perceived may decree how it can be responded to. This study aimed at investigating substance misuse treatment, mental health care providers’ perception of relapse. Methods: This study employed a cross sectional research design. The sample was drawn from two drug and alcohol treatment services in Glasgow City, Scotland. Data was collected using self-administered questionnaires which were analyzed by using SPSS. Results: The results indicated that n=25(92%) reported having a better understanding of their role legitimacy when caring for clients with relapses. Only n=4(15%) reported that there is little that can be done to help clients who have relapsed. Not surprisingly, n=1(4%) was a participant who was uncertain of his counselling skills and believed that clients with several relapses cannot be treated. Conclusion: In conclusion, there was inconsistency between providers’ knowledge and their reaction to relapse. Therefore, emotional reactions if left unchecked may constitute a barrier to provision of care and may negatively impact treatment outcomes.

药物滥用治疗、精神卫生服务提供者对复发认知的调查:横断面研究

复发是许多药物滥用者的常见治疗结果。如何看待复发可能决定了如何应对它。本研究旨在探讨药物滥用治疗、精神卫生保健提供者对复发的看法。方法:采用横断面研究设计。样本来自苏格兰格拉斯哥市的两家药物和酒精治疗机构。数据采用自填问卷收集，采用SPSS统计软件进行分析。结果:结果表明，n=25(92%)报告在照顾复发患者时对自己的角色合法性有了更好的理解。只有n=4(15%)报告说对复发的病人几乎没有什么可以做的。不足为奇的是，n=1(4%)的参与者不确定自己的咨询技巧，并认为多次复发的客户无法治疗。结论:医生对复发的认知与对复发的反应不一致。因此，如果不加以控制，情绪反应可能构成提供护理的障碍，并可能对治疗结果产生负面影响。您可以提交您的手稿:https://symbiosisonlinepublishing.com/submitManuscript.php
