Abstract

The provision of drug treatment within overcrowded prisons presents significant challenges. This study investigated the effectiveness of Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (BCBT) in reducing methamphetamine dependence severity and craving intensity among incarcerated individuals. A quantitative experimental design compared an intervention group to a control group. Following the screening of 551 prisoners, 170 participants meeting inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to either the BCBT (n=85) or control (n=85) condition. The BCBT group received four individual therapy sessions with two follow-ups over six months. The control group received standard psychoeducational leaflets. The Severity Dependent Scale and a brief craving scale were administered pre- and post-intervention to assess changes in methamphetamine dependence and craving levels. Results indicated a statistically significant decrease in craving within the BCBT group, whereas craving tended to increase in the control group. These findings align with the understanding that recovery is multifaceted, influenced by addiction severity, recovery engagement, and social support, including self-awareness. In conclusion, BCBT demonstrates efficacy in reducing methamphetamine dependence and craving among incarcerated people who use drugs.

Abstract

Burnout remains a significant occupational threat to healthcare workers (HCWs). Existing instruments, e.g., the Maslach Burnout Inventory, have limited applicability in healthcare-specific contexts. This study aimed to develop and validate the Burnout Scale for Assessing Stress in Healthcare Workers (BSAS-HCW), designed to measure cognitive and emotional exhaustion. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 245 Malaysian HCWs representing diverse roles, including staff nurses (57.7%), house officers (14.3%), medical officers (13.5%), specialists (5.7%), pharmacists (4.5%), and other HCWs. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a two-factor structure with strong internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha: cognitive = 0.95; emotional = 0.97), and all items loaded above 0.4. Rasch analysis supported unidimensionality, robust item fit, and minimal differential item functioning across sex and ethnicity. Person and item reliability exceeded 0.93, with Wright Maps indicating effective item-person targeting. The instrument explained over 70% of the total variance, demonstrating strong psychometric validity. The BSAS-HCW provided a culturally and occupationally relevant tool for assessing burnout among HCWs in high-stress clinical environments. Its dual-domain design addresses the cognitive and emotional toll of burnout more comprehensively than existing tools, enabling more effective detection, monitoring, and intervention strategies across diverse healthcare roles.
