There has been relatively little research on professional competencies in social work with individuals with alcohol use problems. The present study investigates the patterns of competencies and abilities that constitute different competence dimensions in this field of social work. Additionally, the study attempts to confirm the validity and assess the reliability in the use of the Perceived Social Work Competence Scale (PSWCS) for measuring professional competencies in Lithuania. Exploratory factor analysis was used for both purposes. First, the translated scale's reliability and validity were examined, after which an interpretative competence dimension analysis was performed. The study shows that the translated scale, consisting of 30 items covering eight competence dimensions (consultation, emotional support, case management, professional resilience, retrospective consultation, team working, community work and relationship formation), demonstrates strong reliability. The study provides insight into the ways in which Lithuanian social workers employ a combination of procedural and meta-competencies with field-specific characteristics in their work with alcohol use problems.
针对与有酒精使用问题的个体开展社会工作时的专业能力，相关研究相对较少。本研究调查了构成该社会工作领域不同能力维度的能力模式和技能。此外，该研究试图验证在立陶宛使用感知社会工作能力量表（PSWCS）来衡量专业能力的有效性，并评估其可靠性。为此使用了探索性因素分析。首先，检验了翻译后量表的信效度，之后进行了解释性能力维度分析。研究表明，翻译后的量表由涵盖八个能力维度（咨询、情感支持、个案管理、专业适应能力、回顾性咨询、团队合作、社区工作和关系建立）的30个项目组成，具有很强的信度。该研究深入了解了立陶宛社会工作者在处理酒精使用问题的工作中，如何将程序性能力和元能力与特定领域特征相结合。
