Abstract

Introduction: Alcoholism is the most common psychiatric disorder that causes impairment in physical health, mental health,
and social functioning. “Alcohol dependence syndrome (ADS) is characterized by a state, psychic, and usually also physical,
resulting from drinking alcohol. Self-efficacy is an individual’s belief in his/her innate ability to achieve goals. The prevalence
of current alcohol use in Pondicherry is 9.5% for males and 20 % in total. However, more than 40% of alcohol users drink
alcohol in a dependent pattern in Pondicherry. The current study aimed to assess the self-efficacy of clients to quit alcohol.
Methodology: In this descriptive cross-sectional study 97 participants were selected by a convenient sampling technique at
de addiction clinic, JIPMER, Puducherry. The tools used for the study include socio-demographic variables, modified version
of drinking refusal self-efficacy questionnaire, which consists of 19 questions to assess their belief about the ability to resist
alcohol in the various situation on a six-point Likert scale ranged from 1( I am very sure I would drink) to 6 (I am sure I would
not drink)
The primary objective was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics and the secondary objectives were analysed
using the chi-square test and Pearson correlation.
Results: The result showed that among 97 study participants, the majority of them could resist (58.8%) alcohol during their
de-addiction follow up visit.
Conclusion: Our study concluded that patients who regularly attend de-addiction clinic could resist alcohol consumption.
There is still a need for health education and counseling to quit Alcohol.
