Abstract

Objective: to assess the impact of the Brief Intervention (BI) performed by nursing with patients who consumed psychoactive substances. 
Method: this is a descriptive, quasi-experimental study, with intragroup design, carried out with 34 users of psychoactive substances in an extra-hospital mental healthcare service in Paraná-PR, in the period from 2018 to 2019. The instruments used for data collection were the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) and the Life Orientation Test (TOV-R). 
Results: the total study population was 34, consisting of 24 men (61.5%) and 10 women (25.6%), aged between 18 and 64 years. The result of the paired t-test calculation indicated that there is statistical significance when compared to initial and final means of psychoactive substance consumption. That is, at the time of the first contact with the patient and at the end of their follow-up, there is a difference in the mean scores, meaning that there was a significant decrease in psychoactive substance consumption. 
Conclusion: the proposed practices resulted in a medium impact for reduction in psychoactive substance consumption. It is noteworthy that mental healthcare nurses have shown to significantly contribute to the reduction of psychoactive substance consumption through BI application.
