| dc.description.abstract | This study aimed to examine the relationship between high school students' religious beliefs and their self-efficacy to protect themselves from substance abuse. The necessary sample size for this cross-sectional study was determined by power analysis to be 247. Data were collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Form, the Self-Efficacy for Protecting Adolescents from Substance Abuse Scale (SEAPSAS), and the Religious Belief Scale for Adolescents (RBS-A). The data was analyzed by several statistical methods, including the independent sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Pearson correlation analysis. Participants' scores on the RBS-A were positively and moderately associated with their scores on the Avoidance dimension of the SEAPSAS (r = 0.30; p < 0.01) and positive and weak relationships with their scores on the Avoidance Under Pressure (r = 0.27; p < 0.01) and Seeking Help (r = 0.22; p < 0.01) dimensions of the SEAPSAS. A positive, weak, and significant relationship was identified between total scores on the SEAPSAS and the RBS-A among the study's participants (r = 0.29; p < 0.01). This Study indicated that as high school students' levels of religious belief increased, so did their self-efficacy in protecting themselves from substance abuse. | |
