Resumen
REYES-HUERTA, Hugo E. et al. The Recovery from Alcohol Consumption: Analysis of the Construct of Relapse. int.j.psychol.res. [online]. 2018, vol.11, n.1, pp.70-82. ISSN 2011-2084. https://doi.org/10.21500/20112084.3252.
Objective:
A systematic review was conducted to identify definitions that facilitated the study of relapse as both behavioral pattern and process.
Methods:
The review was conducted following the PRISMA-P guidelines. Articles that met the following inclusion criteria were considered: (a) published in peer-reviewed journals, (b) provided an explicit operational definition of relapse, (c) assessed relapse during or after a specific psychological or self-care group intervention, (d) focused on alcohol consumption, and (e) were published between 2000 and September 2016.
Results:
"Any drinking" was the most frequent outcome used to identify relapse, although other discrete outcomes were also considered. Nevertheless, none of the definitions operationalize the notion of the return to a problematic drinking pattern and/or the process of relapse.
Conclusion:
Problems related to any drinking definition are discussed and we propose the use of a composed index to study relapse.
