Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of art therapy applied to individuals with substance use who are subject to probation on difficulty in emotion regulation, self-esteem and hopelessness. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: \[Is art therapy effective on the level of emotion regulation difficulties of individuals with substance use who are subject to probation?\] \[Is art therapy effective on the self-esteem level of individuals with substance use who are subject to probation?\]\[Is art therapy effective on the hopelessness level of individuals with substance use who are subject to probation?\] Data will be collected through scale forms and art therapy sessions. Within the scope of the pre-test application, data will be collected from all participants in the sample group using the "Personal Information Form", "Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-Brief Form (DERS-16)", "Coopersmith Self-Esteem Scale", "Beck Hopelessness Scale". Art therapy will be applied face to face to the participants in the intervention group, in groups of 4-12 people, in the group guide room, on a common day and time determined by the group members and the researchers. Researchers will compare the experimental group and the control group to see whether art therapy applied to individuals with substance use who are subject to probation has an effect on emotion regulation difficulties, self-esteem and hopelessness.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-Brief Form (DERS-16)

  The Emotion Regulation Difficulty Scale-Short Form (DDGÖ-16), which is the short form of the Emotion Regulation Difficulty Scale developed by Gratz and Roemer (2004) to measure difficulties in regulating emotions, was developed by Bjureberg et al. (2016). The Turkish adaptation of DDGÖ-16 was made by Yiğit and Güzey Yiğit (2017). The Lilkert type scale consists of 16 items and is scored by grading the items between 1 (almost never) and 5 (almost always). There are no reverse coded items in the scale and there is no cut-off point. Scale, openness (1,2), goals (3,7,15), drive (4, 8,11), strategies (5, 6, 12, 14, 16), and nonacceptance (9, 10, 13). It consists of 5 sub-dimensions. High scores indicate greater difficulty in emotional regulation.

• Coopersmith Self-Esteem Scale

  The scale was prepared by Stanley Copersmith in 1986 and was developed to be applicable to various age groups, especially adults. The reliability and validity study in our country was conducted by Tufan and Turan and the test-retest reliability of the scale was found to be 0.65 and 0.76. The scale consists of 25 items and the items are marked as "like me" or "not like me". The items include statements about the individual's perspective on life, family relationships, social relationships and endurance. The scores obtained vary between 0 and 100, and evaluation is made according to whether self-esteem is lower or higher than average. A score below the average indicates low self-esteem, while a score above the average indicates high self-esteem

• Beck Hopelessness Scale

  Beck Hopelessness Scale, which measures the individual's negative expectations for the future, consists of a total of 20 items. The answer was "yes" to 11 of the items in the scale (Questions 2, 4, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, and 20), and to 9 items (Questions 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, (questions 10, 13, 15, and 19) are given one point each for a "no" answer. The lowest score to be obtained from the scale is 0 and the highest score is 20. High scores from the scale indicate that the individual's hopelessness is high.
