6. BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED WORK

INTRODUCTION

Since the beginning of human history and before, people have found ways to alter their

bodies and their consciousness by taking substances such as herbs, alcohol, and drugs. Out of

this practice has sprung many important contributions to science and culture, prominent among

them being the development of modern medicine and the medical profession and the making of

fine wines and liquors. Some religions have found uses for mind-altering drugs as a way to aid

communion with the divine principle.

Addiction usually does not happen overnight. Rather, people who become addicted to

drugs (such as alcohol, cocaine, heroin, marijuana, etc.) are gradually introduced and

desensitized to them over a period of time. They may initially enjoy the use of drugs in a

recreational sort of way. For instance, someone might get into the habit of having a beer or some

wine after work as a way of releasing the days stresses. Someone else may use marijuana on an

occasional basis as a way to share special time with friends or as an aid to appreciating food,

music, or sex. Another person may start using cocaine as a way of staying up late at night to

study for exams.1

The 1996 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse estimated the number of users of

illicit drugs in the United States to be about 13 million. In addition, the survey estimated that

10% of Americans abuse or are dependent on alcohol, and 25% of Americans smoke cigarettes.2

WHO reported that psychoactive substance use poses a significant threat to the health,

social and economic fabric of families, communities and nations. The extent of worldwide

2
Psychoactive substance use is estimated at 2 billion alcohol users, 1.3 billion smokers and 185

million drug users.

WHO seeks to promote the concept of Health for All through its strategy of reducing the

incidence and prevalence of psychoactive substance use and to provide the best available

evidence on management of substance related problems. The achievement of this goal is

designed to lead to reductions in the demand for psychoactive substances and to reduce the

health and social problems associated with such use.3

According to the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse, in 1999 an estimated 14.8

million Americans were current illicit drug users, meaning they had used some illicit drug during

the month prior to the survey. This represents 6.7 percent of the population 12 years and older.

This number is down more than 50% from the peak year of 1979 when 25 million people (14.1%

of the population) were using illegal drugs.4

Addiction has been defined as an illness characterized by “compulsion, loss of control,

and continued patterns of abuse despite perceived negative consequences: obsession with a

dysfunctional habit”.

Drug abuse is a chronic or habitual use of any chemical substance which alters states of

body or mind. Drug addiction is due to biological factors, psychological factors, and social

factors. Substance abuse disorders are more common in Depression, Anxiety disorders, and

Personality disorders.5

Drugs can act directly on one or more electro chemical neurotransmitters that convey

information and regulate mood. Prolonged or chronic use can reset the body’s internal bio -

3
chemical response system in a new homeostatic but distinctly abnormal pattern. Affects many

critical body systems such as cardio vascular damage, coma, seizures, respiratory collapse,

hepatic failure, renal failure, hemorrhagic disorders, transient psychosis and nutritional

deficiencies.

The management for drug abuse includes Supportive and Symptomatic treatment. The

psychiatric symptoms may require proper Psychotropic medications and sometimes

hospitalization. Various types of programs offer help in drug rehabilitation, including: residential

treatment (in-patient), out-patient, local support groups, extended care centers, and recovery or

sober houses. Newer rehabilitation centers offer age and gender specific programs.

Rehabilitation is a set of services offered to individuals with mental or physical

disabilities. These services are designed to enable participants to attain skills , resources ,

Attitudes, and expectations needed to compete in the interview process, get a job, and keep a job.

Services offered may also help an individual retrain for employment after an injury or mental

disorder has disrupted previous employment.

Occupational rehabilitation helps people who have been injured or have suffered an

illness to get back, both physically and mentally, in working shape. There are many

rehabilitation clinics that address different needs, but all are designed to increase the patient’s

maximum independent functions. Many employers pay for their employees to use these

programs in order to maintain performance, as well as keep up with safety standards.

An occupational rehabilitation therapist develops a plan of action for the injured worker

by assessing his or her needs, and evaluating what the areas in which he or she requires help.

4
other specialists can also be enlisted to aid in such a program, including nutritionists,

physiotherapists, and psychologists. Sometimes a rehabilitation team must consider whether the

worker will return to his or her job or, if that is not a possibility, the team may help a patient

regain function in order to seek a new job.6

Occupational therapy practitioners intervene in a wide variety of settings with people who

abuse substances. Recognition of the effect that the substance abuse has had on the occupational

functioning of the individual and the family is a unique dimension that the occupational therapist

brings to the interdisciplinary approach. By facilitating the skills, daily routines, and occupational

roles that the individual values and helping integrate them into the individual's view of self, the

occupational therapist can enhance the life-style and support the abstinence of the newly

recovering substance abuser. Occupational rehabilitation plays a major role in treating substance

abuse.

6.1. NEED FOR THE STUDY

Substance abuse occurs when a person is engaged in a pattern of using alcohol or other

mood-altering substance like alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, street drugs, designer drugs, pain

medications, and other pharmaceuticals.”

Among these, alcohol is the most commonly abused substance. “When someone is

abusing, there are negative consequences or there’s a huge potential for them,” Stoffel says. “For

example, there’s a potential for organ damage that may or may not yet have occurred.”

Psychoactive drug abuse commonly results from a combination of low self-esteem, peer

pressure, inadequate coping skills, and curiosity. Most people who are predisposed to drug abuse

5
have few mental or emotional resources against stress, an overdependence on others, and a low

tolerance for frustration. Taking the drug gives them pleasure by relieving tension, abolishing

loneliness, allowing them to achieve a temporarily peaceful or euphoric state, or simply relieving

boredom.

Drug abuse has led to a detrimental impact on the society. It has led to increase in the

crime rate. Addicts resort to crime to pay for their drugs. Drugs remove inhibition and impair

judgment egging one on to commit offences. Incidence of eve- teasing, group clashes, assault

and impulsive murders increase with drug abuse apart from affecting the financial stability,

addiction increases conflicts and causes untold emotional pain for every member of the family.

Professional Guide of psychiatry reported that 19.5 million people over the age of 12

years were using illegal drugs in worldwide. Among them 19,000 deaths occurring due to the

drug addiction.

The United States has the highest substance abuse rate of any industrialized nation.

Government statistics show that 36% of the United States population has tried marijuana,

cocaine, or other illicit drugs. By comparison, 71% of the population has smoked cigarettes and

82% has tried alcoholic beverages.7

In 1999, more than 4 million of the drugs using population were hardcore users: 3.3

million chronic cocaine users and 977,000 chronic heroin users, according to Office of National

Drug Control Policy estimates. While casual use of illicit drugs and cocaine in particular, has

fallen dramatically since the early 1980s, the number of hard-core users of cocaine and heroin

has remained virtually unchanged.4

According to a 2004 national survey on drug use and health done by the Office of

National Drug Control Policy, 19.1 million Americans (7.9 percent) who were 12 years or older

6
used drugs illicitly. In addition, 121 million Americans (50.3 percent) who were 12 years or

older were current drinkers of alcohol, with 55 million (22.8 percent) admitting to binge drinking

(defined by drinking five or more drinks at one sitting on at least one occasion in the last 30

days).

Heavy drinkers (defined by binge drinking at least five days in the prior month)

accounted for 16.7 million Americans (6.9 percent). Of those 12 to 20 years old, 10.8 million

(28.7 percent) drank alcohol in the 30 days prior to the survey, with 7.4 million (19.6 percent)

binge drinking and 2.4 million (6.3 percent) drinking heavily. Pregnant women aged 15 to 44

reported past-month alcohol use at a rate of 11.2 percent and binge drinking at a rate of 4.5

percent in the month prior to the survey. (Sept. 8, 2005)

The 2004 survey reported that 22.5 million Americans (9.4 percent) who were 12 years

and older met criteria for substance abuse or dependence. However, only 3.8 million of these

people (1.6 percent of Americans) had been treated for drug or alcohol problems in the previous

year. This left a staggering number of individuals in need of, but not receiving, treatment for

their substance abuse problems.

Regular drug and alcohol abusers are more likely to be involved in accidental injuries,

motor vehicle accidents and incidents of violent and aggressive behavior. In fact, approximately

20 percent of emergency room admissions, as well as 20 percent of all general hospital

admissions, are alcohol-related. (Professional Practice Council of American Academy of

Physician Assistants, 1996)

Most illicit drug users begin to use and abuse drugs when they are young. Men (8.5%)

have a higher rate of illicit drug use than women (4.5%). The highest rates of drug abuse were

found among young people ages 16-17 yrs (19.2%) compared with ages 18-20 yrs (17.3%). Only

7
about 1 % of people age 50 yrs and older reported using illicit drugs.8

A community based cross-sectional study was conducted during April 2004-March 2005

in an urban resettlement colony in East Delhi to study the narcotic substance use and the socio-

demographic characteristics of users. 208 male narcotic substance users aged 15-24 years were

studied. 59.1% of the narcotic substance users were between 21-24 years of age. 78.8% were

using ganja and 39.9% each heroin & bhang. 37% were abusers; 36% were dependent users.

58.7% were single at the time of interview. 48% were either illiterate or just literate; 64%

belonged to middle socio-economic status. 68% had initiated narcotic substance use out of

curiosity.9

Drug-statistics Bangalore2007 Survey reported that approximately 1 in 5 people aged

between 16 and 59 said that they had taken at least one of the drugs. People aged 18 to 21 were

most likely to admit to having taken drugs, with almost half (46%) claiming to have taken

them.10

Rehabilitation is a treatment designed to facilitate the process of recovery from drug

abuse as early as possible. Rehabilitation includes physical therapy which uses exercises and

physical activities to help condition muscles and restore strength and movement, Occupational

Therapy uses activities of daily living and exercise to promote the highest level of independent

functioning.11

Occupational therapy as a profession concerned with promoting health and wellbeing

through occupation. The primary goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to participate

in the activities of everyday life. Occupational therapists achieve this outcome by enabling

people to do things that will enhance their ability to participate or by modifying the environment,

8
or the activity to better support participation. Occupational Therapy enables people to achieve

health, wellbeing and life satisfaction through participation in occupation.

Occupational Therapy has been described as an active method of treatment with a

profound psychological justification in case of substance abuse. Occupational Therapy is the

application of goal-oriented, purposeful activity in the assessment and treatment of individuals

with substance abuse.

The constant stress in the day-to-day life leads many people are changing to drug

addiction. Drug abuse patients often experience multiple problems such as health and mental

health illnesses and the breakdown of family relationship and unemployment or low income

leading to psycho social problems. Occupational rehabilitation is the only way to give exercise to

both mind and body. Nurse as a role of a teacher imparts knowledge of practical working and

social and coping skills to the drug abuse patients. To fulfill these purposes this study becomes a

need.12

6.2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE

This related literature of the present study has been collected and organized under the following

sections.

Section I: literature related to drug abuse

A report states that approximately 23% of Australians use illicit drug in which Marijuana

was the most common drug used. Amphetamines had been recently used by approximately 4%

of those aged 14 years and over and 2% had used ecstasy/designer drugs; approximately 1% had

9
used heroin, cocaine, or injected an illegal drug during the previous 12 months. Rates of

marijuana use, as for most illicit drugs, increased over the past decade, although rates for other

drugs were much lower than for marijuana.13

A study investigated the reasons for initiating drug use in drug-dependent adolescents and

youths in five regions in Yunnan. The data were collected from a stratified random sample of

467 registered drug addicts under 25 years of age. Pearson chi-square tests were used to analyze

the association of reasons for drug use with socio demographic factors, knowledge of drug

related harm, and access to illicit drugs. The results shows that Curiosity was the most

commonly reported reason for initiating drug use and the majority of the respondents reported

having little or no knowledge of drug-related harm. The majority of the drug abusers initiated

drug use at the age of 13-14 years or younger. There is a potential for sustained educational

programs to reduce the high prevalence of adolescent drug use.14

A study was conducted to examine the prevalence of risky drinking and the association

between risky drinking behaviors and risk groups of substance abuse among college freshmen.

Bivariate analyses were performed to evaluate the association between risky drinking behaviors

and risk groups of substance abuse. The results of our study indicated that 87.0% of the

participants reported lifetime alcohol use, and 69.4% reported the consumption of alcohol during

the past 30 days. Of the former group, 21.4% had engaged in binge drinking, 8.6% had

experienced alcohol-related harassment, 9.5% had experienced alcohol-induced blackouts, and

82.0% had experienced drinking alcohol with peers without adults. Substance abuse prevention

programs for college students should address the health effects of risky drinking behaviors and

train students how to avoid submission to peer pressure.15

10
 A study was conducted to assess consumption of alcohol, cigarettes and illegal substance

among physicians and medical students in two German states using self-administered

questionnaire. The majority of respondents consumed alcohol at least once per week. A

significantly higher percentage of men (p < 0.05) reported hazardous or harmful drinking

compared to women. The majority of physicians (85.7%) and medical students (78.5%) were

non-smokers. Use of illegal substances was considerably lower in physicians (5.1%) than

medical students (33.0%). Male students indicated a significantly (p < 0.001) higher level of

illegal drug-use compared to female students.16

A longitudinal quasi-experimental panel study was conducted in order to design and

implement a skill-based intervention to prevent and reduce substance use among urban

adolescents who attended 2 randomly selected high-schools in Tehran, Iran. One-year post

intervention data show that substance abuse, knowledge, attitudes, peer resistance skills, level of

self-control, self-efficacy, and perceived susceptibility among intervention group were

significantly improved, whereas level of self-control and attitudes against substance abuse

among the control group deteriorated. To efficiently prevent substance abuse among youth

primary preventive interventions should be implemented before onset of substance abuse to

improve resistance skills and provide adolescents with information and skills needed to develop

anti-drug norms.17

Section II: Literature related to occupational rehabilitation

A retrospective study was conducted to assess the quality of occupational rehabilitation

for patients with drug abuse by means of an audit of 100 files of patients with abuse disorders

who visited their occupational physicians. Quality of rehabilitation was assessed by means of 10

11
performance indicators, derived from the guidelines for the treatment of employees with mental

health disorders Four of 10 performance rates were below 50%: continuity of care (34%),

interventions aimed at providers of care in the curative sector (39%), assessment of impediments

in the return to work process (41%), and assessment of symptoms (45%). The highest

performance rate concerned assessment of work related causes (94%). Overall optimal care was

found in 10% of the cases this study shows that the rehabilitation process of employees with

abused disorders leaves significant room for improvement, especially with regard to continuity

of care. Quality of care was partly related to a better outcome. More rigorous study designs are

needed to corroborate this finding.18

This study was conducted to investigate the role of occupational therapists working with

patients with drug abuse during the rehabilitation process. Occupational therapists(N-172)

working in rehabilitation centers were surveyed with regard to their involvement with substance

abuse, particularly drug abuse, knowledge of policies, training in the administration of therapy

procedures, and perceived levels of competency. Most respondents reported an awareness of

policies regarding occupational rehabilitation in their centers. Respondents' main role with this

population included activities in positioning, environmental modification, and staff instruction.

The study concluded that the major role of occupational therapists working in centers involved

providing direct intervention with the patient and not conducting or instructing others in

occupational rehabilitation. Therapists also served as a resource on health-related issues for

rehabilitation center personnel19.

An explorative study was conducted to describe and enhance the understanding of how

persons with drug abuse experience the influence of the social environment on their engagement

12
in occupations. Nine persons were interviewed and the data obtained were analyzed using a

comparative method. The findings may contribute to a deeper understanding of how other

persons can facilitate and restrict meaningful occupational experiences. This provides knowledge

that can be used by occupational therapists when empowering their clients and those close to

them to reflect on their actions and the consequences of these actions to enhance occupational

engagement.20

A study was conducted to describe the needs for occupational therapy among people of

working age with drug abuse condition, and to describe treatment interventions based on these

assessments. The results generated categories of needs that have implications for interventions:

1) need for patient education, 2) needs due to limitations in activity performance, 3) needs due to

patient's discouragement, 4) need as a result of patient's dependency and 5) needs related to

work. The suggested interventions focused on increased knowledge of how to handle daily

occupations, mainly categorized as education and behavioral interventions.21

Section III: Literature related to knowledge on occupational rehabilitation

A study was conducted to assess the quality of rehabilitation of drug abuse patients by

occupational physicians and to relate the quality of the process of occupational rehabilitation to

the outcome of return to work. One hundred occupational physicians of a cohort of drug abusers

were interviewed about return to work management. Concluded that Quality of occupational

rehabilitation of drug abusers can be improved substantially, especially with regard to

communication between physicians and continuity of care. There is a need for the development

of more effective rehabilitation procedures which should be evaluated in a randomized controlled

trial.22

13
 The study was conducted to examine the impressions of physical and occupational

therapists on therapeutic engagement among their patients. Engagement in this context was

defined as a patient's deliberate effort to work toward recovery by participating fully in their

rehabilitation therapies. Using a survey approach, physical and occupational therapists (N=199)

from across the United States were asked about issues they have encountered in their daily

practice that have acted as either barriers or facilitators of patient engagement. Results show that

drug abuse was rated as the most frequently encountered barriers impacting patient engagement.

Making therapy tasks meaningful and explicitly related to personal goals of the patient was the

most commonly reported practice for enhancing therapeutic engagement. Study concluded that

the knowledge of therapists gained from day-to-day experience with patients in rehabilitation can

be of use to other rehabilitation professionals in treating patients who are difficult to engage in

the rehabilitation process.23

A cross-sectional, descriptive self-report survey concluded that National and state

organizations need to develop policies that focus on prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of

alcohol and other drug-using healthcare professionals. The results of this study may help to

delineate the characteristics of health professionals abusing drugs, leading to the development of

more effective policies designed to protect the public, and move toward more tailored and

effective intervention strategies for health professionals.24

A study was conducted to describe the role and activities of Drug Rehabilitation Centers

in reducing the drug-abuse problem in Dharan. It also offers suggestions for increasing the

effectiveness of prevention programs. This study concluded that there should be a strong

coordination and network with each other to increase the effectiveness of the treatment program

for drug abuse. The treatment centers should be increased in number as well as in quality.25

14
Section IV: literature related to self-instructional module.

A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of student centered module of

learning reported that 100% of students found the module, as a positive learning experience as it

improved the knowledge, understanding and skill in the selected learning area. 26

A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of self-instruction on learning, satisfaction

with the teaching approach, and health status of persons with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by

control-group pre-test-posttest design, among thirty subjects receiving care at a rheumatology

clinic who met the study criteria; they were randomly assigned to two groups, self-instruction

and control. One-way analysis of covariance on posttest Rheumatoid Arthritis Knowledge

Inventory (RAKI) scores, with the pre-test as covariate, was used to examine the difference in

learning between the self-instruction and control groups. There was significant difference

between the groups (P=0.01). Participants who completed the self-instructional program had

improved scores on the posttest as compared to the control. 27

A study was conducted on the “Effectiveness of need based self-instructional module on

knowledge regarding the management of dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls in an urban

school, north Bangalore”. The results of this study revealed that the mean pre-test knowledge

score of 55% at 0.05 level of significance. The study results suggested that the self instructional

module was effective in increasing the knowledge level of adolescent girls. 28

A study was conducted on the effectiveness of self instructional module on home care for

rehabilitation of hospitalized patients with coronary artery disease revealed that the mean

posttest knowledge scores 48.5, was significantly higher than the mean pretest knowledge

scores 25.5 at 0.05 levels of significance. The study results suggested that the self instructional

module was effective in increasing the knowledge level of patients. 29
