The contains method returns a boolean, so you can use boolean operators on the result.

Some of the various operators include:
&& (And)
|| (Or)
|= (Assigns the result of the OR condition back to the variable in front of it)
&= (Assigns the result of the AND conditon back to the variable in front of it)

Finally the one that you need is:

! (Not some condition)


In other words change your IF statement to the following:

IF(!object.Field__c.contains('string'))


You may need to check for null conditions on object / Field__c as well. You may also want to use containsIgnoreCase instead of "contains" if you want a case-insensitive check.
