Abstract
The present study was aimed at assessing the effectiveness of structured intervention programme on Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) of clients with alcohol dependence syndrome admitted in a selected hospital, Ernakulam, Kerala. True experimental- pretest post test control group was the study design. The sample consisted of 20 clients with alcohol dependence syndrome, who were admitted in the de-addiction ward, and the subjects were selected by systematic random sampling method. Tool used were demographic and clinical data sheet related to alcoholism, and GGT monitoring chart. Pretest was done on the first day and structured intervention programme was scheduled with risk reward analysis, coping skill training programme, assertiveness training programme, family based intervention and psycho education for experimental group from 2nd to 12th day. Post test was conducted after 3 months of intervention, on 102nd day. Analysis done with unpaired t test, it is found that there is no significant difference in pretest scores of control and experimental group (t=0.0913,p=0.928). At the same time, there is a significant difference between post test scores of control and experimental group (t=2.588,p=0.018). Paired t test proved that there is no significant difference between pre test and post test scores in control group (t=2.126,p=0.062)., and a significant difference between pre test and post test score in experimental group(t=5.268, <0.001).The intervention programme motivated the clients with alcohol dependence syndrome to face the existing problems and to prevent relapse, and resulted a reduced GGT level.
