- Abstract
Object: The Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness Scale (SOCRATES), is a 19-item self-rating scale developed by Miller and Tonigan (1996) for screening motivation and readiness to change dirinking - related behavior. Factorial analyses showed that it contains 3 factors called: (1) Recognition (Re), (2) Ambivalence (Am) and (3) Taking steps (Ts). In the aim of this study, the reliability and validity and factorial structure of the Turkish translation of the SOCRATES were determined. Method: The study was conducted with hospitalized patients between January and July 2006 in Bakirkoy State Hospital for Mental Health and Neurological Disorders, AMATEM (Alcohol and Drug Research, Treatment and Education Center) in Istanbul. One seventy one inpatients diagnosed as having "Alcohol Use Disorder" were included in the study. They were given sociodemographic form, SOCRATES, the Treatment Motivation Questioneer (TMQ) and Michigan Alcohol Screaning Test (MAST). The internal consistency of the Turkish version of SOCRATES was evaluated by the Cronbach's Alpha test, and for validity investigation the TMQ is used. Results: Turkish version of the scale with 16 item solution was found to be compatible with original scale. In alcohol dependents the internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach's alpha) was 0.77 for Re scale, 0.74 for Am scale, 0.78 for Ts and 0.85 for SOCRATES. For each of the items, the corrected item-total correlation values were higher than 0.48 and significant in the degree of p<0.001. Three subscales, total score of the SOCRATES and TMQ were correlated significant in the degree of p<0.001. Discussion: Results which were obtained in this study suggests that the Turkish version of the SOCRATES could be used as reliable and valid for alcohol dependent in patients.
