Effect of Interventional Package (TIP) on Stress, Anxiety and Depression, among Patients with Alcohol Use disorders

Abstract

Alcoholism is one of the major medical and public health problems all over the world.  The prolonged used of alcohol may lead to dependence of the substances. The dependence of alcohol causes many mental health problems which includes stress, depression and anxiety among the persons who developed dependence over that substance.

Aim: The main aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Interventional Package (TIP) on Stress, Anxiety   and Depression, among Patients with Alcohol Use disorders.

 Methodology: The study used a true-experimental research design with control and experimental group, which was a quantitative technique. Using cluster sampling technique, 150 alcohol use disorder patients were chosen. Pre-tests and post-tests were administered, data was gathered using Depression, Anxiety and Stress - 21 Scale (DASS – 21) and after the pre-test, Triple Interventional Package were given for the alcohol dependents which includes Breathing Techniques (Count in 15 Seconds for 15 minutes), Listening to Receptive Music (20 minutes) and Assertive Training (45 minutes).

Result: In Experimental Group   pre and post-test level of stress mean value is 3.2 and 13.7 with mean value of 13.3 and 13.5 of patient with alcohol use disorder. The calculated independent t – test value and p value for the post test between experimental and control group was 12.89 and < 0.001, which was highly statistically significant at p value less than 0.001 level. On anxiety the pre and post-test level of anxiety mean value is 3.6 and 10.4 of patient and in Control Group pre and post-test level of anxiety mean value is 11.1 and 11.4. The calculated independent t – test value and p value for the post test between experimental and control group was 9.419 and < 0.001, which was highly statistically significant at p value less than 0.001 level. On depression, In Experimental Group pre and post-test level of depression mean value is 3.4 and 11 of patient with alcohol use disorder. In Control Group pre and post-test level of depression mean value is 11.9 and 11.4. The calculated independent t – test value and p value for the post test between experimental and control group was 9.419 and < 0.001, which was highly statistically significant at p value less than 0.001 level. On association, there is no significant association between level of Stress, Anxiety, and Depression with their Socio demographic Variables.

Conclusion: The study concluded that Implementation of triple interventional package on stress, anxiety and depression among patients with alcohol use disorder is highly effective in reducing the level of study variables. Hence, it can be implemented in broader aspects to get desired outcomes a larger scale among other populations
