About this study
Official title: The Effect of Person-Centered Occupational Therapy Interventions on Occupational Performance, Self-Efficacy and Psychological Resilience in Substance Use Disorder
This study investigates the impact of person-centered occupational therapy interventions on individuals diagnosed with substance use disorder. Substance use often leads to isolation and difficulties in daily activities such as work, self-care, and leisure time. The research aims to evaluate how a tailored 8-week therapy program affects participants' occupational performance, self-efficacy, and psychological resilience. Participants will be divided into a study group receiving therapy and a control group.
Read the detailed description
Participants aged 18-65 with a DSM-5 diagnosis of substance use disorder will be recruited from the Erenköy AMATEM unit. The study employs an experimental design with 34 participants (17 in the study group, 17 in the control group). The study group will receive person-centered occupational therapy interventions 3 times per week for a total of 8 weeks.
The intervention process is based on the four stages of person-centered practice: identifying occupational performance problems using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), brainstorming realistic goals, implementing tailored strategies (e.g., time management, vocational skills, or healthy habits), and revising the process based on feedback . Assessment tools including the COPM, Self-Efficacy Scale, and Brief Resilience Scale will be administered at baseline and after the 8-week intervention to measure changes in performance and psychological factors.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Awareness TrainingBehavioural
A single-session educational program designed to increase awareness about the consequences of substance use and the recovery process.
Person-Centered Occupational TherapyBehavioural
An 8-week person-centered program (3 sessions per week) focusing on daily life activities, productivity, and leisure goals identified through the COPM.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Study Group | Experimental | Participants in this group will receive person-centered occupational therapy interventions in addition to their routine treatment. Receives: Behavioral: Person-Centered Occupational Therapy |
| Control Group | Active comparator | Participants in this group will receive a one-time awareness training session about substance use disorder and its effects, in addition to their routine clinical follow-up. Receives: Behavioral: Awareness Training |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM)
A semi-structured interview used to identify and prioritize everyday activities that the individual finds difficult to perform. It measures two components: Occupational Performance and Satisfaction. Both are scored on a scale of 1 to 10, where higher scores indicate better performance and higher satisfaction.
Measured: Change from baseline at 8 weeks.
Secondary outcomes (2)
Self-Efficacy Scale
A 23-item scale measuring the individual's self-judgment of their ability to achieve intended goals. Scores range from 23 to 115, with higher scores indicating higher self-efficacy.
Measured: Change from baseline at 8 weeks.
Brief Resilience Scale
A 6-item self-report scale measuring the individual's ability to bounce back or recover from stress. Higher scores indicate higher psychological resilience.
Measured: Change from baseline at 8 weeks

The research aims to evaluate how a tailored 8-week therapy program affects participants' occupational performance, self-efficacy, and psychological resilience. Participants will be divided into a study group receiving therapy and a control group.
