Abstract
The present work investigates levels of self-efficacy in parents of opiate dependents. There were two groups, one comprising parents of users in maintenance programmes with metadone, and another for parents of users in drug-free programmes. They were evaluated using the Bäbler Self-efficacy Scale, and the Sherer and Adams Self-efficacy Scale. The results show higher parents self-efficacy scores in the drug-free group and higher self-efficacy scores in the mothers in comparison with their husbands in both groups. These results show the necessity of planning therapeutic strategies directed at increasing the self-efficacy of the parents of users in treatment (in both drug-free programmes or in maintenance with opiates). In addition, it is considered that these results could be used in planning preventive activities within the framework of teaching parents.
