effect of brain awareness intervention on metacognition, self-efficacy and treatment motivation in patients with alcohol and substance use disorders

There are five sub-factors of the PPI-30 scale: Positive beliefs (items 1,7,10,20,23 and 28), Uncontrollability and danger (items 2,3,4,9,11,16 and 22), Cognitive confidence (items 8,14,18,24,26 and 29), Need to control thoughts (items 6,13,15,21,25 and 27) and Cognitive awareness (items 5,12,17,19 and 30).

The PPI-30 is a four-point Likert-type scale ranging from "1 - Strongly disagree" to "4 - Strongly agree". Scores between 30 and 120 can be obtained from the scale, there is no reverse-scored item, and a higher score indicates an increase in pathological metacognitive activity. It is reported that the Cronbach Alpha reliability value of the Turkish version of the scale is 0.86 and the Cronbach Alpha value of the sub-dimensions is between 0.72 and 0.93.

The 23-question form of the scale has four subscales: initiating the behavior, maintaining the behavior, completing the behavior and struggling with obstacles.

The SCBS is a five-point Likert-type scale ranging from "1 - does not describe me at all" to "5 - describes me very well". Scores between 23 and 115 can be obtained from the scale. Items 2,4,5,6,7,10,11,12,12,14,16,17,18,20 and 22 in the scale are reverse-scored and an increase in the total score means that the individual's self-efficacy perception is at a good level. The Cronbach Alpha reliability value of the Turkish version of the scale is 0.81.

The Treatment Motivation Questionnaire is a five-point Likert-type questionnaire ranging from "1 - Strongly disagree" to "5 - Strongly agree". A score between 26-130 can be obtained from the questionnaire. Items 13, 16, 21 and 24 in the questionnaire are reverse-scored in the opposite direction and an increase in the total score obtained from the questionnaire means that the individual's treatment motivation is high. The Cronbach Alpha reliability value of the Turkish version of the questionnaire is 0.84.
