Revalidating the Substance Abuse Treatment Self-Efficacy Scale (SATSES): A Replication With Social Work Practitioners

Abstract

This study was designed primarily to replicate the factor structure of the Substance Abuse Self-Efficacy Scale (SATSES; Kranz, 2003 Kranz, K. 2003. Development of the alcohol and other drug self-efficacy scale. Research on Social Work Practice, 13: 724–741. [Google Scholar]), a measure of social worker's perceived self-efficacy regarding substance abuse knowledge and skills. Sixty-six percent (N = 143) of practicing social workers sampled responded to the mailed survey. Results revealed strong support for the reliability and factorial validity of the scale, and partial support for concurrent validity. Implications for education and training of social workers in substance abuse interventions are discussed, including the need for self-efficacy assessments and more objective evaluation methods.
