Abstract

Background: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and stability of group cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and brief intervention (BI) for relapse prevention (RP) among drug users of drop-in-centers (DICs) in Ahvaz, Iran.

Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental one with a pretest-posttest design, a follow-up phase, and a control group. The statistical population included all drug users of drop- in-centers of Ahvaz in 2021. The sample of the study included 78 drug users selected randomly and assigned to two experimental groups and one control group (each 26 members). A morphine test (special kits) that detects the presence of morphine in urine was used to check the relapse. Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA with SPSS (version 24).

Findings: The results showed BI and CBT had a significant effect on reducing RP in drug users (P<0.001). The BI was more effective than CBT for RP.

Conclusion: It can be concluded that both BI and CBT can be effective in reducing the likelihood of relapse among drug users but BI is more effective than CBT for RP.

认知行为疗法与短暂干预预防吸毒人员复吸的效果比较。

背景:本研究旨在比较团体认知行为疗法(CBT)和短暂干预(BI)对伊朗阿瓦士戒毒中心(DICs)吸毒者复发预防(RP)的有效性和稳定性。方法:本研究采用准实验设计，采用前测后测设计、随访设计和对照组设计。统计人口包括2021年阿瓦士戒毒中心的所有吸毒者。研究对象为78名吸毒者，随机分为两个实验组和一个对照组(每组26人)。使用吗啡试验(特殊试剂盒)检测尿液中吗啡的存在以检查复发。数据分析采用SPSS (version 24)的重复测量方差分析。结果:BI和CBT对降低吸毒者RP均有显著效果(p)。结论:BI和CBT均可有效降低吸毒者RP的复发可能性，但BI对RP的效果优于CBT。
