Consumo de alcohol y su relación con los estilos parentales en adolescentes de la comunidad de Salasaka

Abstract

Alcohol consumption in adolescents is a social difficulty that generates a harmful impact on the community; however, the main triggers come from parental styles, described as the transmission of family patterns that induce the adolescent to build behaviors and values that will determine the risk or prevention of alcohol consumption, and not having an adequate family structure will produce permanent damage that can sometimes be irreversible. Based on this, the objective was to determine the relationship betw een the levels of alcohol consumption and parental styles in adolescents of the indigenous community of Salasaka. A quantitative, descriptive and correlational methodology was chosen, using data collection techniques such as the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Questionnaire (AUDIT) and Baumrind's Parental Styles Test, applied to 162 adolescents (89 males and 73 females) aged 12 to 17 years, with an average age of 15.6 years, selected by convenience sampling. As a result, high levels of alcohol consumption were obtained (42%), notable values that highlight the frequency of the negligent style and finally it was determined that there is a positive correlation (Rho= 0.305* p< 0.001) between alcohol consumption and parental style according to the perception of the adolescent (males). Thus, it is identified that a greater negligent parenting styleleads to greater alcohol consumption in adolescents.
