Brief Summary

This was a two-staged study undertaken in entertainment-sector workers in Spain: the first part was transversal and observational, and the second was semi-experimental. A short group-based motivational intervention session was implemented by nursing staff, and a before and after evaluation was completed. By reducing the patients' perception of their quality of life, this brief nursing intervention facilitated a favourable increase in the motivation for change among these workers and was effective in 12% of cases.

• General perception of health related quality of life EQ-5D-3L

  Health related quality of life (HRQL) meassured by EQ-5D (EuroQuol) The EQ-5D-3L descriptive system comprises the following 5 dimensions, each describing a different aspect of health: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/disconfort and anxiety/depression.

• Health related quality of life TECVASP

  Assessment of the Quality of Life in Psychoactive Substance Addicts Test TECVAS It consists of 22 items (18 positive and 4 negative \[items 15, 19, 20 and 21\]) with a graded response format of five alternatives. The response alternatives are coded with the following alternatives: a) in the positive items: nothing (5 points), little (4 points), sometimes (3 points), enough (2 points) and much (1 point); b) in the negative items: nothing (1 point), little (2 points), sometimes (3 points), enough (4 points) and much (5 points). Therefore, in each element, a higher score represents a more positive evaluation of the content, and in the test, a higher score represents a better HRQL.
