Resumo: |
his dissertation is about the study of the Processes of Change in drug users. The first section is the theoretical chapter of the thesis and aimed to conduct a literature review about the Transtheoretical Model of Change. The method used was a Literature Review, prepared from a survey in Databases PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Lilacs. This section explained the concepts of the Stages of Change, Decisional Balance, Self-efficacy, Temptation to use and Processes of Change. The second section, entitled "Psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Processes of Change Questionnaire (EPM) in users of illicit psychoactive substances" presented the result of the translation and adaptation of the Brazilian Scale of Processes of Change (EPM) for drug users. The method used in this section was a quantitative research, cross-sectional and instrumental, with a sample of 328 drug users. According to the results, the process of translation and adaptation of instruments for Brazilian Portuguese proved satisfactory and with a good final version. Furthermore, it was noted that the Brazilian version to the Scale of Processes of Change for drug users is an instrument with adequate reliability and validity. In the third Section ("Intervention to drug users based on the Transtheoretical Model of Change: study intervention group") there were two main objectives. The first one was to conduct a Brazilian adaptation of the Manual "Group Treatment for Substance Abuse: a stages-of-change therapy manual" (Velasquez, Maurer, Crounch & DiClemente, 2001) for drug users. The second was to empirically test the effectiveness of this manual adaptation. The adaptation of the intervention was adequate, and a program with 8 sessions was constructed. According to the results of the empirical testing of this new intervention program, it was possible to see that the intervention proposed in the Experimental Group shows good results against the problem of crack cocaine use and a potential effectiveness. The fourth and last section entitled "Applicability of the Transtheoretical model of change in addiction: correlations among constructs" aimed to determine whether there is a statistical relationship between the main constructs MTT. This research tried to prove if the theory has correlation with the practice in Brazilian drug users. The sample was 142 crack users in treatment. The results showed that there is empirical relationship between the constructs of MTT. The Processes of Change, Self-efficacy, Temptation to use and Stages of Change have significative correlation as in the theory |
