Objective: to evaluate the perception of the relatives of crack users in relation to the support groups offered to this population in a Psychosocial Care Center for Alcohol and Drugs in the South of Brazil. Method: the fourth-generation theoretical framework was used for evaluation, having as methodological device the hermeneutical-dialectic circle. Data collection occurred through 500 hours of observations and interviews with 12 relatives of crack users, and the comparative constant method was used in the analysis, generating the “family group” unit of meaning. Results: this group was regarded by the family members as a space for guidance on the management of users in their home environment. They reported the need for a basic structure to conduct the groups, greater duration of the meetings, confidentiality of information and diversity of timetables. Final considerations: investment in education and training of nursing professionals focused on group care is suggested to the education institutions.

“…It should be highlighted, considering especially the issues indicated on the difficulties to care for the patient and the suffering that comes from it, how necessary are therapeutic interventions targeted at the health of the caretaker, so that they can diminish their suffering and rethink their occupational lives, in addition to learning adequate strategies for family care (20) .…”

“…This, however, implicates in an assistance to be implemented according to the needs of each family, considering their uniqueness and context. The health service professionals must be aware of the demands and particularities of each care unit, developing strategies and creating spaces that contemplate the variety of needs that might present themselves (20) .…”

“…Therefore, the evolution of the treatment depends a great deal on the support and acceptance of the family and on the social inclusion of the patient. Only through a feeling of belonging and autonomy can the human being recover their self-esteem, self-image, and establish themselves as a subject of their own story (20) .…”

“…The support groups show that the implantation of strategies focused at caring for family members that care for people with severe and persistent mental disorders is necessary, so that they have opportunities to share considerations on the possible ways to take care of themselves and of the patient, providing them with safety and calm (10) . Therefore, the support group can be seen as a strategy for intervention and care, providing the family with the instruments to take efficient care of themselves and of the family under psychic suffering, as to diminish the overload they experience as they carry out their tasks of caring so that they can resignify their experiences (20) .…”

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate members’ perceptions of the therapeutic factors during a group intervention that was designed to mitigate the adverse psychological effects of the coronavirus pandemic and the imposition of restrictive measures, their satisfaction with the online format of the intervention, and how these are associated with the intervention’s outcomes. The participants ( N = 44, M age = 31.93, SD = 8.09) were Greek adults who attended a 2-week, voluntary, online group intervention. To assess the effectiveness of the intervention, 1 week before and 1 week after implementation, participants completed several questionnaires measuring their demographic characteristics, empathy, resilience, affectivity, feelings of loneliness, depression and anxiety levels, and feelings of fear regarding the outbreak. One week after the intervention, they also completed two questionnaires evaluating the therapeutic factors and their satisfaction and impressions regarding telemental health counseling. Analyses showed that the most frequently cited therapeutic factor was guidance, followed by acceptance, self-disclosure, universality, and instillation of hope. Therapeutic factors of catharsis, self-disclosure, guidance, self-understanding, vicarious learning, and therapeutic alliance correlated with elements of empathy, resilience, loneliness, positive emotions, symptoms of anxiety and depression, and fear of the coronavirus. Satisfaction with the online format of the intervention was associated to universality, elements of empathy, and symptoms of depression. More specifically, member satisfaction was negatively correlated with improvement in personal distress and depression, an unexpected finding that may be attributed to the brief duration of the present intervention. The practical value of the results for the development and implementation of online psychological interventions during a crisis is discussed.
