Abstract

Objective: This study investigated the extent to which subjective norms, attitudes, knowledge, and behavioral control explained social workers’ intention to employ exposure and response prevention (ERP) in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder in the United States. Methods: Social workers ( N = 168) completed measures through Qualtrics. We hypothesized clinicians who endorsed greater behavioral control, social norms, and attitudes would have higher behavioral intentions of using ERP. Regression analysis tested this hypothesis. We further hypothesized clinicians with prior behavioral intent and greater knowledge would have more influential factors and current behavioral intention. These were tested with t -tests. Results: Greater behavioral control, attitudes, and social norms significantly increased behavioral intention to use ERP. Social norms produced a large effect (β = 0.50), attitudes a medium effect (β = 0.35), and behavioral control a small effect (β = 0.25) on behavioral intention. Prior behavioral intent significantly increased these factors. Discussion: Attitudes, behavioral control, and social norms significantly impact behavioral intention to use ERP.

临床社工治疗强迫症的意向

目的：本研究探讨了美国社会工作者在治疗强迫症时，主观规范、态度、知识和行为控制在多大程度上解释了暴露与反应预防（ERP）的使用意向。方法：168名社会工作者通过质量量表完成问卷调查。我们假设那些支持更大的行为控制、社会规范和态度的临床医生会有更高的使用ERP的行为意图。回归分析验证了这一假设。我们进一步假设具有先前行为意图和更多知识的临床医生对当前行为意图的影响因素更大。用t检验进行检验。结果：更强的行为控制、态度和社会规范显著增加了使用ERP的行为意向。社会规范对行为意向的影响较大（β = 0.50），态度对行为意向的影响中等（β = 0.35），行为控制对行为意向的影响较小（β = 0.25）。先前的行为意图显著增加了这些因素。讨论：态度、行为控制和社会规范显著影响使用ERP的行为意向。

期刊介绍： Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
