The subjects of this study were 62 amphetamine-dependent. This study was a quasi-experimental research using a two-group, pretest-posttest design. The purpose of this research aimed to examine the effects of a self-efficacy program on the coping behaviors of amphetamine-dependent patients. The subjects of this study were 62 amphetamine-dependentpatients aged between 18-60 years. The subjects were randomly assigned to an experimental andcontrol groups, with 31 patients in each group. The experimental group participated in the self-efficacy program, for 6 sessions, once a week, with each session lasting 60-90 minutes while the control group received routine care. The research instruments consisted of the self-efficacy program and the coping behaviors scale. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the coping behaviors scale was .91. Descriptive statistics were used to represent the personal information of participants; a dependent t-test was use to compare the mean of the coping behaviors scores before and after the intervention in each group; and an independent t-test was used to compare the mean difference in the coping behaviors scores between the experimental and control groups.
The results of the study were as follows. 1) After participating in the self-efficacy program the mean scores for the coping behaviors of the experimental group (M = 122.52, SD=13.13) was significantly higher than before participating in the self-efficacy program (M = 51.03, SD = 2.94) at a statistical significance (t = 29.63, p <.001). 2) After participating in the self-efficacy program the mean difference for the coping behaviors between the pretest and posttest in the experimental group ( = 71.48, SD = 13.43) was significantly higher than those of the control group that received routine care (
= .03, SD = .84), at a statistical significance (t = 29.63, p <.001). The findings of the study suggest that the self-efficacy program was able to effectiveness increase the coping behaviors of the amphetamine-dependent patients.
