Keywords:
People with amphetamine dependence in rehabilitation, Prevention behaviors of amphetamine relapseAbstract
This predictive correlational research examined prevention behaviors of amphetamine relapse and predicting factors between motivation to quit using drugs, self-esteem and intention to abstain from drug use with prevention behaviors of amphetamine relapse among 219 patients in rehabilitation. The research instruments were questionnaires on motivation to quit using drugs, self-esteem, intention to abstain from drug use, and prevention behaviors of amphetamine relapse. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients for the reliability of the questionnaires were 0.85, 0.77, 0.84, and 0.86 respectively. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression.
The results of this study revealed that:
1. Mean score of prevention behaviors of amphetamine relapse among patients in rehabilitation was 35.79 (SD = 6.14).
2. Motivation to quit using drugs, intention to abstain from drug use, and self-esteem were significantly correlated with prevention behaviors of amphetamine relapse (r = .257, p < .01; r = .203, p < .01 and r = .148, p < .05, respectively).
3. Motivation to quit using drugs, intention to abstain from drug use, and self-esteem were significant predictors for prevention behaviors of amphetamine relapse. Variables accounted for 9.4% of the total variance (R2 = .094, Adjusted R2 = .081, F = 7.446, p < .05).
To succeed in preventing behaviors of amphetamine relapse among patients in rehabilitation, psychiatric nurses and healthcare providers need to focus on enhancing patient motivation to quit using drugs, promoting their intention to abstain from using drugs and raising their self-esteem.
