This article discusses the results of an exploratory study to identify facilitatingfactors and barriers for practice self-efficacy with battered women. Based onself-efficacy theory, personal factors such as professional experience, academicpreparation, personal experience, and continuing education training were exploredwith a random sample of licensed and degreed professional social workers.Professional experience (ß=.61; t=9.54, p=.000) and academic preparation (ß=.26;t=4.29, p=.000) were the strongest predictors of self-efficacy. These findings suggestthat to advance the capacity of social workers to respond to domestic violence, socialwork education, practitioners, and researchers have a number of important stepsavailable to take.
