Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the predictors of motivation to change in people with an alcohol dependence. The participants were 209 peoples with alcohol dependence. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires, which were constructed to include socio-demographics, alcohol drinking-related factors, and psychosocial-spiritual factors. Data were analyzed with the SPSS 19.0 programs. The significant predictors of motivation to change in peoples with alcohol dependence were gratitude, professional support, and age at first admission. These alcohol drinking-related factors and psychosocial factors explained 22.7% of the variance in peoples with an alcohol dependence. These results suggest that motivation to change in people with an alcohol dependents can be changed positively by increasing gratitude and professional support.
