The use of illicit drugs has increased considerably, what requires planning and adjustment of therapeutic interventions to better meet the specific additions. Assessments of temptation to use drugs and abstinence self-efficacy have been recognized as extremely valuable in understanding the processes of changing addictive behaviors. This dissertation is composed of two studies. The first is a systematic review of scientific literature of the last 20 years in the databases PubMed, PsychInfo and LILACS. We used the descriptors:"abstinence","self-efficacy","temptation" and "scale" in search of abstracts available in English, Portuguese or Spanish. It was found 13 papers related to evaluations of abstinence self-efficacy and/or temptation to use psychoactive substances (excluding alcohol and tobacco). Of these selected articles, five used the same instrument, three adapted measures used for other behaviors, and the others showed different scales. Most of these tools present risk situations to be answered according to abstinence self-efficacy or temptation to use drugs in general, with no distinction among substances. The second study provides validity evidences of the brazilian version of two scales: Drug Abstinence Self-efficacy Scale and Temptation to Use Drugs Scale. To the adapted version, there were included 4 items, compounding a total of 24 items in each instrument. The sample consisted of 300 male inpatients subjects, admitted for cocaine and crack dependence. The validity evidences investigated were the following: semantic adaptation, reliability, concurrent validity and exploratory factor analysis. It could be demonstrated good internal consistency, 18 with Cronbach's alpha coefficient ranging between 0. 719 and 0. 927. The inverse correlation between the scales was significant (r = -0. 736, p <0. 01), and four-factor model corresponded to subscales: Negative Affect; Social/Positive; Concerns; e Withdrawal/Urges. The brazilian version of the scales showed adequate evidences of validity in the sample of cocaine and crack hospitalized dependents.
