One hundred and seventy-eight heroin addicts in reformatory school were sent to one of two rehabilitation treatments: reform through education and labour and therapeutic community (TC)-based rehabilitation programme. After six months of being discharged, pre-and post-treatment scores on the Addiction Severity Index were compared, and relapse related factors were investigated. Results indicated improvements in both treatments, with the TC-based rehabilitation programme showing superior improvement overall. Results support the efficacy of the TC-based rehabilitation programme proving it to be better than reform through labour and education. It is suggested that psychosocial intervention and relapse prevention should be emphasised in the treatment of drug dependence.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a nursing intervention for patients with claustrophobia in MR examination. Methods: This study included 40 claustrophobic patients who underwent MR examination from March 2013 to May 2015 in our hospital. These patients were randomly divided into two groups; each group had 20 patients. Among them, usual care was taken in one group (control group) and nursing intervention was added on the basis of usual care in another group (observation group). The patient's psychological state and MR successful rate were compared between these two groups. Results: In control group and observation group, the scores of anxiety were 46.20 ± 3.07, 37.50 ± 2.54, respectively. The scores of depression were 44.30 ± 2.54, 37.70 ± 2.15. MR successful rates were 35.00% and 90.00%, respectively. There were significant differences in these two groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Effective nursing interventions can improve patient's psychological state and MR successful rate for claustrophobic patients.
