Objective:The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the psychiatric nursing approach based on the Tidal Model on motivation for treatment in alcohol-dependent persons. Method:The study was semi-experimental in design, with pre-test post-test evaluation and a control group, and was conducted on 36 individuals (18 experimental, 18 control). The Treatment Motivation Questionnaire(TMQ), The Addiction Profile Index(BAPI), Beck Depression Inventory(BDI) and Beck Anxiety Inventory(BAI) were applied before and three months after the application. Results:At the end of the three month follow up, alcohol use by individuals in the experimental group was found to be less than that of the control group. Individuals in the experimental group who was at the maintenance stage were found to be more than the control group.The BAPI craving subscale point decreased in the experimental group; increased in the control group. It was found that internalized and external motivation, interpersonal-help-seeking and total motivation of the experimental group decreased or remained the same and confidence-in-treatment of them increased at the end of three months; but the difference was not significant. Internalized motivation in the control group was a significant reduction; when compared with the experimental group, the difference in change between the two groups was found not to be significant. Conclusion:The psychiatric nursing approach based on the Tidal Model may have prevented a significant reduction in especially internalized motivation of the experimental group. It is recommended that follow-up studies did to prevent relapse and randomized controlled studies conducted with regard to the most frequently seen problems of alcohol-dependent persons.
