FRANCA, Marilene Gonçalves  and  SIQUEIRA, Marluce Miguel de. The role of nursing and the formation of multipliers in relapse prevention. SMAD, Rev. Eletrônica Saúde Mental Álcool Drog. (Ed. port.) [online]. 2011, vol.7, n.2, pp. 78-84. ISSN 1806-6976.

Relapse prevention involves teaching individuals to identify and cope with risk situations. In this research, the goal was to qualify nursing consultations for individuals going through the relapse process through nursing/care integration, in the “Care Program for the Alcoholic”. A descriptive and exploratory, qualitative-quantitative approach with content analysis was used, divided into three phases: preparation of the manual, nursing staff training and evaluation. The study revealed changes in this team’s conceptions of relapse, the relation between theory and practice and its performance as a mediator in this educational process.
