详细描述
- Introduction and Rationale Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) represent a significant global public health challenge, characterized by a chronic, relapsing-remitting cycle influenced by biological, behavioral, and environmental factors. In Egypt, the prevalence is estimated at 5.9%, with the highest exposure among youth (15-25 years) and the highest treatment demand in the 25-35 age group. Alarmingly, relapse rates post-treatment can reach 40-75% within weeks to months, underscoring the inadequacy of detoxification-focused models that neglect psychosocial rehabilitation.
A critical factor in sustaining recovery is self-efficacy (SE), particularly abstinence self-efficacy (ASE)-an individual's confidence in their ability to resist substance use in high-risk situations. Low SE is linked to poor motivation, increased withdrawal symptoms, and higher relapse susceptibility. Life skills, defined by the WHO as psychosocial competencies for adaptive and positive behavior, are foundational for managing triggers, stress, and social pressures. Training in these skills (e.g., problem-solving, communication, emotional regulation) is hypothesized to enhance SE, thereby reducing relapse risk. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a structured life-skills training program on self-efficacy among patients with SUDs in a Cairo-based hospital. 2. Study Objectives and Hypothesis
Primary Aim: To evaluate the effect of a life-skills training program on self-efficacy among patients with SUDs.
Primary Hypothesis: Self-efficacy will significantly improve following the implementation of the life-skills training program. 3. Methods 3.1. Study Design: A quasi-experimental, one-group pre-test/post-test design was employed.
