EV0026 E-PosterEducation and EthicsCase series # Reducing psychosocial barriers in the treatment of alcohol dependence syndrome through effective psychiatric training: a case series MITIGATING THE PSYCHO-SOCIAL OBSTACLES IN THE TREATMENT OF ALCOHOL DEPENDENCE SYNDROME WITH EFFECTIVE PSYCHIATRIC TRAINING - CASE SERIES Presenter: Vartika Mishra Country: India Institution: Pacific Medical College & Hospitals, Department of Psychiatry Addressing identified skill deficits among psychiatry residents through targeted training and supervision improved their approach to patients with alcohol dependence syndrome, as well as treatment engagement and adherence. The aim is to demonstrate the role of effective psychiatric training in reducing psychosocial barriers to the treatment of alcohol dependence syndrome (ADS). The poster states that approximately 14.6% of people aged 10 to 75 nationwide, or around 16 crore people (a crore is a South Asian unit denoting 10 million), are affected; it emphasizes that one of the main determinants of patient recovery is professional competence, including adequate interviewing skills, the ability to establish an effective therapeutic relationship, and the provision of psychoeducation. The study used a case study method, with a sample consisting of first- and second-year psychiatry residents (n = 6; 2 men, 4 women, aged 24 to 29). Across the six cases, the following skill deficits were identified and addressed through the corresponding areas of development: ethical guidance for prejudice toward addiction, motivational enhancement therapy (MET) for difficulties with treatment engagement, empathy and psychotherapy for difficulties working with patients with ADS, psychoeducation for persistent expressed emotion in families, work on motivation and engagement for lack of insight, and crisis management for low stress tolerance. According to the table in the poster, the respective outcomes were improved relationships with patients, increased treatment adherence, an improved approach to patients with ADS, improved adherence, more people recognizing the problem and seeking treatment, and increased confidence and competence in patient care. The cases include residents who, following supervision, came to understand that relapse is common in conditions such as ADS and learned MET to tailor their work to the patient's stage of motivation; a resident who initially felt inadequate in emergencies involving withdrawal delirium but developed competence through supervision; and a resident who, during a rural field placement, recognized that patients were underestimating their alcohol consumption and psychosocial problems and therefore focused on establishing therapeutic relationships and using assessment scales. The poster also reports that a resident who experienced difficulties in this area because of their personal history received support from supervisors and was referred for psychotherapy, with a change in their approach observed after 5 to 6 sessions. In conclusion, adequate psychiatric training and supervision are reported to have the potential to reduce psychosocial barriers that complicate ADS treatment on both the clinician and patient sides.
