Croyances dysfonctionnelles liées au craving : évolution auprès des patients en post-cure d’alcoologie

Among patient with alcohol use disorders (AUD), cognitions (beliefs, thoughts, schemas) play an important role in alcohol abuse and in craving, defined as a strong and irresistible urge to consume a product. Various types of beliefs, said to be dysfunctional, were specifically identified among AUD patient as being able to favor a relapse. The aim of this research concerns the comorbidity (qualitative part of the research) and the dysfunctional beliefs relative to the craving (quantitative part of the research). The evolution of craving related beliefs are analyzed during a post-cure care. Ten French patients in post-cure care for AUD were received in clinical interview, and in structured interview (MINI). They also filled the French form of the Craving Beliefs Questionnaire at the two moments: At the beginning of post-cure care, then at the end. On the quantitative part, the results show that the irrational beliefs decrease among every patient. However, this evolution is not correlated with the number of post-cure care from which they benefit. A hypothesis is whether it is the global residential care in itself that influences the cognitions-beliefs.
