Effectiveness of Nurse-Conducted Brief Intervention (NCBI) Supplemented With Mobile for Preventing Alcohol Use Disorders
Sponsor: University of Pittsburgh
Summary
The study is aimed to find out that combining Nurse-Conducted Brief Intervention (NCBI) with a Smart Mobile is better than Nurse-Conducted Brief Intervention (NCBI) only in preventing relapse among Alcohol Use Disorder patients. The high relapse rates among alcohol disorder patients may be benefitted by new technology using application for improved outcomes in managing and preventing alcohol addiction relapse.

Interventions
Nurse-Conducted Brief Intervention (NCBI). supplemented with mobile based application.
* An interactive mobile based application will be developed with the following features to assist in monitoring and preventing relapse. * Purpose of the Mobile based application: The mobile application will be an interactive tool designed to assist in monitoring and preventing relapse of alcohol use disorder. It will provide various features to support users in their journey to sobriety, including personalized recovery plans, goal setting, progress tracking, stress and craving management tools, educational resources, daily reflection prompts, emergency assistance, personalized reminders, progress reports, and psychoeducational videos. * The Target population: 40 Male patients selected through randomized sampling, aged between 18 and 59 years, who have participated in Nurse-Conducted Brief Intervention (NCBI) for AUD in the Gastroenterology ward with diagnosis of alcohol dependence use disorder based on ICD-10 who have access to smartphone application and have the ability to use it.
Nurse-Conducted Brief Intervention (NCBI)
* Nurse-Conducted Brief Intervention (NCBI) is a feasible and acceptable model of care for males diagnosed with Alcohol Use Disorders (AUDs) in gastroenterology settings. The study found that the Nurse-Conducted Brief Intervention (NCBI) had a positive impact on promoting abstinence in patients with AUDs, and the preliminary findings demonstrate probable good outcomes. \[21\]. * It consists of a trained Nurse delivering three individual sessions with the patient over a span of two to three days (15 to 20 mins each) during their period of admission in the ward and one session with the family members.
