What is known on the subject? Substance use disorder is a chronic condition with high relapse risk, and individuals under probation supervision are particularly vulnerable. Psychoeducation and psychological resilience are important factors in reducing craving and improving treatment outcomes.
What the paper adds to existing knowledge
What are the implications for practice? Psychoeducation can be effectively used by psychiatric nurses in probation settings to support recovery. Strengthening psychological resilience should be considered a key target in addiction interventions.
Introduction: Substance use disorder is a major public health problem that adversely affects individuals' physical, psychological, and social functioning. For individuals under probation supervision, preventing relapse and controlling substance use are of critical importance. Psychoeducation is an important psychosocial intervention with the potential to reduce craving and enhance psychological resilience.
Aim: This study aimed to examine the effect of psychoeducation on substance craving levels and psychological resilience in individuals diagnosed with substance use disorder under probation supervision.
Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was used. The study included 60 participants (30 intervention, 30 control). A structured psychoeducation program was applied to the intervention group, while the control group continued to receive standard care. Data were collected using a personal information form, the substance craving scale, and the Adult Resilience Scale.
Discussion: Psychoeducation is thought to reduce substance craving and increase psychological resilience by strengthening cognitive and emotional regulation in the addiction process.
