Objective: This study investigated the efficacy of meaning-centred therapy (MCT) in the management of substance use disorders (SUD) in Nigeria. Methods: A pre-test post-test control group experimental study was conducted among young individuals with substance use disorders.  Participants were purposively selected and randomly assigned to treatment (MCT) and control groups. Participants' mean age was 22.05±2.14 years. Assessments of both groups were done at intake, immediately after completion of the therapy (which is 10-weeks), and at 1-month follow-up. Independent-sample t-test and one-way repeated measure of analysis of variance were used for analyses at 0.05 significant level. Result: Individuals in the MCT group reported significantly lower substance use disorder symptoms compared to those in the control group. There was an overall significant difference between the SUD means of participants that received MCT at pre-test, post-test, and 1-month follow-up. Conclusion: It was concluded that MCT provided effective treatment of substance use disorder among the Nigerian population; its utilization is therefore recommended.

Objetivos: Comparar la efectividad del entrenamiento de estrategias e intervenciones cognitivo-conductuales basadas en la atención plena en el estrés competitivo de los francotiradores (es decir, nivel de cortisol salival) con un seguimiento de dos meses. Métodos:Veinticuatro francotiradores profesionales varones jóvenes con antecedentes de disparos durante al menos 3 años se dividieron aleatoriamente en tres grupos: intervención cognitivo-conductual (n=8), intervención basada en la atención plena (n=8) y grupo de control (n=8). Los participantes de los grupos experimentales participaron en seis sesiones de formación durante seis semanas (75-90 minutos cada sesión). La concentración de cortisol en saliva se midió en reposo, antes y después de la prueba y el seguimiento. Resultados:ANOVA con medidas repetidas mostró un efecto principal para el grupo (F2.21=3.787, sig=0.039) y etapa (F3.21=52.529, sig=0.001) y también el efecto interactivo entre los grupos en la etapa (F6, 42=3.700, sig=0.005). El ANOVA de medidas repetidas mostró que la intervención cognitivo-conductual a nivel de cortisol salival tuvo un efecto en el postest, mientras que la intervención de mindfulness tuvo efectos positivos en el postest y los tiempos de seguimiento. No hubo diferencias significativas entre los grupos de atención plena y cognitivo-conductual en la prueba posterior. Además, los resultados del tiempo de seguimiento mostraron que hubo una diferencia significativa solo entre la atención plena y el grupo de control. Aplicaciones prácticas:Los resultados indican que la práctica de habilidades psicológicas, especialmente la atención plena, se puede utilizar para reducir el estrés previo a la competencia. Objectives: The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of cognitive–behavioral strategies training and mindfulness based-interventions on shooters competitive stress (i.e., level of salivary cortisol) with two-months follow-up. Methods: Twenty four young male professional shooters who had a history of shooting for at least 3 years were randomly assigned into three groups: cognitive-behavioral intervention (n=8), mindfulness based intervention (n=8) and control group (n=8). Participants in the experimental groups participated in six training sessions during six weeks (75-90 minutes each session). Salivary cortisol concentration was measured at rest, pre- and post-test and follow-up times. Results: ANOVA with repeated measures showed a main effect for group (F2,21 = 3.787, sig = 0.039) and stage (F3,21 = 52.529, sig = 0.001) and also the interactive effect between the groups in the stage (F6,42 = 3.700, sig = 0.005). ANOVA with repeated measures showed that cognitive-behavioral intervention on salivary cortisol level had effect in the post-test, while mindfulness intervention had positive effects on the post-test and follow-up times. ANOVA also revealed that there was no significant difference between the mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral groups in the post-test time. In addition, the results of the follow-up time showed that there was significant difference only between mindfulness and control group. Practical Applications: Results indicate that the practice of psychological skills, especially mindfulness can be used to reduce the pre-competition stress. Objectivos: O objectivo deste estudo é comparar a eficácia das estratégias cognitivas-comportamentais de formação e de atenção baseadas em intervenções sobre o stress competitivo dos atiradores (ou seja, nível de cortisol salivar) com o seguimento de dois meses. Métodos: Vinte e quatro jovens atiradores profissionais que tiveram um historial de atirar durante pelo menos 3 anos foram distribuídos aleatoriamente em três grupos: intervenção cognitivo-comportamental (n=8), intervenção baseada na consciência (n=8) e grupo de controlo (n=8). Os participantes nos grupos experimentais participaram em seis sessões de treino durante seis semanas (75-90 minutos cada sessão). A concentração de cortisol salivar foi medida nos tempos de repouso, pré e pós-teste e acompanhamento. Resultados: ANOVA com medidas repetidas mostrou um efeito principal para o grupo (F2,21 = 3.787, sig = 0.039) e o estágio (F3,21 = 52.529, sig = 0.001) e também o efeito interactivo entre os grupos no estágio (F6,42 = 3.700, sig = 0.005). A ANOVA com medidas repetidas mostrou que a intervenção cognitivo-comportamental ao nível do cortisol salivar teve efeito no pós-teste, enquanto que a intervenção de atenção teve efeitos positivos no pós-teste e nos tempos de seguimento. ANOVA também revelou que não havia diferença significativa entre o nível de atenção e os grupos cognitivo-comportamentais no período pós-teste. Além disso, os resultados do tempo de seguimento mostraram que só havia uma diferença significativa entre a atenção e o grupo de controlo. Aplicações práticas: Os resultados indicam que a prática de aptidões psicológicas, especialmente a de ter consciência, pode ser utilizada para reduzir o stress pré-competição.
