Summary

Although substance abuse is the subject of serious struggles on the basis of individuals and countries, its rate of spread cannot be stopped and it creates an agenda with new people added every day. Substance addiction, which not only creates physiological problems in individuals, but also affects human health in every aspect with psychological and social problems, adversely affects the health status of individuals as well as their families and environments. The best way to get rid of addiction is to never start. Therefore, our study focused on preventing addiction, not addiction. After applying the Substance Use Tendency Scale and Self-Control Scale to university students, an intervention and control group will be formed. Solution Focused Approach program will be applied to the intervention group. At the end of the program, post-tests will be applied to the intervention and control groups.

Detailed description

First of all, the Substance Use Tendency Scale (MDAS) and personal information form will be applied to the nursing students of the Faculty of Health Sciences, which consists of 750 people. A high score in any of the BCAS subscales indicates a tendency towards addiction. After this, students with a tendency will be determined. After the power analysis is performed, the appropriate number of samples will be determined. Finally, participants will be assigned to the intervention/control group by randomization. A substance use prevention psychoeducation program based on a solution-focused approach will be applied to the experimental group in 7 sessions for 6 weeks. No intervention will be made to the control group. At the end of psychoeducation, posttests will be collected from the experimental and control groups.
