| description | The purpose of this research was to examine the contribution made by the self-efficacy training (independent variable) on keeping alcoholic addicts in treatment and on changing/rising their life quality, the main aim of the treatment and the proof of its effectiveness. For this purpose, we inquired 146 alcoholic addicts that started treatment in the UAC. From these, only 21 (14,4%) remained in treatment, 90 (61,6%) abandoned the treatment during the internment period and 35 (24%) after the first consultation. Being this still a problem related to gender, most of the inquired were men (87% of our sample) in the age range of 23 to 68, with an average age value of 44,7 (Standard Deviation=9,127). To assess the study variables we used: Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) (Canavarro, 1999) and the Clinic Inventory of Self-efficacy (Vaz Serra, 1985) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life, brief version. The results of our study made us conclude that more precisely the self-efficacy is a variable predictor of the treatment success such as of the quality of life improvement. |
