Evaluating the Bridge Progamme
•Measuring treatment outcome – Primary (substance use) – Secondary (consequential outcomes) - Changeable factors related to good
outcome

Changeable personal factors
•Does the Bridge programme alter changeable personal factors related to good outcome?

Changeable personal factors
•Motivation increased • Self efficacy increased (for alcohol
and drug) • Locus of control shifted in a helpful
way (internal locus of control).

Discussion • All primary and consequential
outcomes improved •Many to a clinically and personally
salient level
![Page 50: Evaluation of The Salvation Army’s Bridge Programme: 1 ...Evaluation of The Salvation Army’s Bridge Programme: 2. Treatment Outcomes 3.

Caveats • Results are on those who completed
a dose of treatment • End of treatment measures (76% ),
Follow-up measures (48%) • Follow-up time period 3 months

Spirituality in healthcare: Māori Contribution
“Taha wairua is generally felt by Māori to be the most essential requirement for health”. (Durie, 1999)
“Without a spiritual
awareness and a mauri (spirit or vitality, sometimes called the life-force) an individual cannot be healthy… .” (Durie, 1999)

Spirituality in healthcare: the

• Contested
• Low attendance/rise of ‘nones’
• Disentwining thesis:

• “I’m spiritual, not religious”

What is spirituality? Map of the terrain.
Spirituality means different things to different people. It may include (a search for):
– one’s ultimate beliefs and values;
– a sense of meaning and purpose in life;
– a sense of connectedness;
– identity and awareness;
– and for some people, religion.
It may be understood at an individual or population level.

Spirituality background
• Growing recognition of the power of spirituality-informed treatments for addiction.
“it is becoming increasingly difficult to exclude spirituality as a possible factor in the addiction recovery process for many individuals” (Stewart, 2008, p. 402)
• Strong consumer desire
• General underestimation

What is the role of spirituality in the Bridge Programme?
1) Does the Bridge Programme increase spiritual well-being?
2) Does spiritual well-being matter in terms of treatment processes and outcomes?
3) Do spiritual practices and discussion of a higher power help in treatment processes?

Did spiritual well-being matter in terms of treatment outcomes?
– For users of alcohol, an increase in spiritual beliefs was associated with a decrease in severity of alcohol use.
– Likewise for users of drugs.

Programme? • Did the Programme affect your spirituality or religious beliefs? • Did the Programme alter any sense of meaning or purpose in your life? • Are there spiritual practices (e.g. prayer, attendance at church) that have

NHS Scotland: spiritual care • Spiritual care is usually
given in a one-to-one relationship, is completely person-centred and makes no assumptions about personal conviction or life orientation.
• Religious care is given in the context of the shared religious beliefs, values, liturgies and lifestyle of a faith community.
