The Impact of the Use of the MAURISSE Application in People Suffering From an Addiction.

Substance Use Disorders (SUD) are associated with cognitive schemas that lead to care attrition and mistrust towards care. Considering this, establishing a strong, trustful relationship between the patient and the healthcare team is important to promote patient engagement within SUD management. However, it requires an important availability of the healthcare team, allowing for frequent interactions at all times, including at night and during days off. We postulated that a mobile application called MAURISSE, which aims to help the caregivers maintaining a link with the patient in order to facilitate trust in the relationship, could foster patient engagement as well as the therapeutic alliance. This research aims to compare the effect of the application MAURISSE on the therapeutic alliance in a population of patients treated for a disorder related to substance use at the Toulouse University Hospital.
