In total, 60 respondents were selected through the census method (30 in the study group and 30 in the control group). Thirty respondents from the CBC formed the experimental group, and another 30 from the HBC formed the control group. The CBC was held for 7 days, and the HBC was held for 10 days. The tools used are the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test and the World Health Organization quality of life (QoL)-BREF.Statistical analysis: Independent t-test and effect size analysis were used. Kasturba Hospital Institute Ethics Committee, Manipal, had given the ethical clearance.Results: The majority (73%) of the respondents in the CBC and 57% of the HBC participants maintained complete abstinence during the post-test. The relapse rate was lower in the CBC (27%) than in the HBC (43%). CBC is effective at increasing the number of follow-ups and decreasing alcohol intake during relapse. The effect of the camp intervention on increasing the number of follow-ups was medium (d = 0.36). The CBC had a small effect on enhancing the QoL of treated individuals with alcohol dependence syndrome during the post-test (d = 0.27).Conclusion: The CBC approach is more effective than the hospital one at increasing follow-up and QoL and reducing the relapse rate.","PeriodicalId":519991,"journal":{"name":"Journal of psychiatry spectrum","volume":"3 2","pages":"101-109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11308949/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141908826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nine experts with more than five years of experience in handling partner violence cases provided insights through in-depth interviews. The transcripts were carefully examined several times, coded and re-coded. The codes were subsequently organized into thematic categories.Results: Most of the experts were between the age of 35-45 years (66.7%), females (77.8%) and had more than five years of experience in mental health and IPV (55.6%). Most of the experts (66.7%) were working in teaching institutions related to mental health and IPV. The remaining one-third (33.3%) of the experts were legal and women empowerment practitioners. The thematic analysis generated six main themes and 19 subthemes, with 189 codes. The six mean themes were: psychosocial needs and concerns, psychosocial interventions, enhancing psychological well-being, enhancing the social support systems, challenges, and therapeutic strategies.Conclusion: Experts emphasized the importance of a holistic approach to IPV intervention. Group intervention addresses multiple issues that contribute to violence. Survivors need safe housing, counseling, legal help, and financial assistance.","PeriodicalId":519991,"journal":{"name":"Journal of psychiatry spectrum","volume":"3 2","pages":"88-93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11259049/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141736292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
