Abstract

Background: Rational emotive behavior therapy used emotive, cognitive and behavioral methods to help individuals with drug addiction to dispute their irrational ideas, think more rationally, actualize their life goals and be happier. Aim: To assess the efficiency of rational emotive behavior therapy on anxiety traits and irrational ideas among patients with drug addiction. Research hypothesis: Patients with drug addiction who participate in the REBT are more expected to alleviate anxiety levels and reduce illogical thoughts after management than before program implementation. Design: This study employed a quasi-experimental design (pre/post-test one group). Setting: It was achieved at the Addiction Inpatients in Al-Waey Hospital in Benha, Qalyubia Governorate. Sample: A purposive sample of fifty-five patients with drug addiction were recruited in this study. The program involved 14 sessions. Tools: Involved three parts: Clinical and socio-demographic characteristics sheet, Taylor's Manifest Anxiety Scale and the Rational and Irrational Ideas Questionnaire. Results: The study results demonstrated highly statistically significant differences regarding levels of anxiety of studied patients between pre-post program (p≤0.000) and prefollow-up program (p≤0.002). It showed mean changes with statistically significant differences between three observations regarding the total irrational ideas of studied sample (p≤0.000). Conclusion: The findings revealed that rational-emotive behavior therapy had a great positive effect on patients with drug addiction in alleviating anxiety levels and irrational thoughts. Recommendation: The results recommended that nurses and other healthcare teams in psychiatric organizations should help patients with drug addicts use rational-emotive behavior therapy to reduce their anxiety traits and control their irrational ideas
