Amphetamine Induced Psychosis, Self-efficacy Promoting Program, Intention to Drug AbstinenceAbstract
This quasi-experimental multiple time-series design research aimed to compare: 1) the intention to drug abstinence of persons with amphetamine induced psychosis, before and after the experiment, among the experimental group, and 2) the intention to drug abstinence of persons with amphetamine induced psychosis between the experimental group who received the intervention program and the control group who received regular nursing care. The sample consisted of 60 persons with amphetamine induced psychosis, who received services at the inpatient of Songkhla Rajanagarindra Psychiatric Hospital. All participants met the inclusion criteria. They were matched and paired with gender and age and then randomly assigned either to the experimental or control group, 30 subjects in each group. The experimental group received the self-efficacy promoting program while the control group received regular nursing care. Research instruments comprised the self-efficacy promoting program and the intention to drug abstinence test. All instruments were verified for content validity by 3 professional experts. The intention to drug abstinence test yielded a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient reliability of .82. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, chi-square, Fishers exact test, independent t-test, repeated measures ANOVA, Greenhouse-Geisser statistics and Huynh-Feldt statistics. The main results were as follows.
1. Intention to drug abstinence of persons with amphetamine-induced psychosis in the experimental group, who received the self-efficacy promoting program, was significantly higher than before, at the .001 level.
2. Intention to drug abstinence of persons with amphetamine-induced psychosis in the experimental group, who received the self-efficacy program, was significantly higher than in the control group, at the .05 level.
Per findings, the program should be implemented as a treatment approach for patients with methamphetamine-induced psychosis. Policies should be clearly established for practical application. Furthermore, systematic monitoring and evaluation should be conducted to ensure that patients receive effective care.
