Findings support the validity of the developed stage of change, 8-item decisional balance, and 6-item self-efficacy measures for psychosocial care. Clinicians could use these tools to address perceived cons of psychosocial care, including shame and self-efficacy (e.g., using psychosocial care despite pain). These scales may help treatment teams better address barriers to psychosocial care utilization. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).
