Effect of Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention Program on Readiness for Change and Self-efficacy Among Clients With Substance Use Disorders

Effect of Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention Program on Readiness for Change and Self-efficacy Among Clients With Substance Use Disorders: A Randomized Control Trial

The treatment process of substance addiction is applied principally by psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychiatric mental health nurses. In this respect, psychiatric mental health nurses have a crucial role to play. As they are the one who is in touch with the patients for 24 hours, psychiatric nurses can enhance the treatment process a lot through the application of a mindfulness-based relapse prevention program.

As drug abuse is such a devastating affliction, further knowledge about specific traits that may increase the chances of a successful recovery would be greatly beneficial to enhance treatment and decrease relapse rate. Accordingly, this study will be conducted to determine the effect of mindfulness-based relapse prevention program on readiness for change, and efficacy among clients with substance use disorder.
