Abstract

Introducción: La funcionalidad familiar es crucial para el comportamiento de los adolescentes frente al consumo de alcohol. Familias con relaciones cálidas y buena comunicación tienden a tener adolescentes con menor consumo de alcohol. Ambientes familiares conflictivos o con falta de apoyo aumentan el riesgo de consumo de alcohol entre los jóvenes. Es importante entender esta relación para implementar intervenciones efectivas y políticas preventivas. Objetivo: Determinar la relación entre funcionalidad familiar y el consumo de alcohol nen adolescentes de una institución educativa del distrito de Urcos, Cusco – 2024. Material y métodos: El método del estudio fue cuantitativa, descriptiva correlacional, de diseño no experimental y transversal. La muestra estuvo constituida por 200 estudiantes del cuarto y quinto grado de secundaria de la Institución Educativa del distrito de Urcos, Cusco Resultados: Se observaron correlaciones negativas significativas entre la funcionalidad familiar y diversas medidas relacionadas con el consumo de alcohol: riesgo de alcohol (rho= -0.211, p = 0.001), síntomas de dependencia (r = -0.300, p < 0.01), consumo nocivo de alcohol (r = -0.242, p < 0.01), y consumo de alcohol en adolescentes (r = -0.264, p < 0.01). Conclusiones: La funcionalidad familiar muestra una correlación negativa significativa con el consumo de alcohol y la dependencia entre adolescentes en Urcos, Cusco, sugiriendo que fortalecer las relaciones familiares es crucial para reducir estos comportamientos de riesgo.

Introduction: Family functionality is crucial for adolescents' behavior towards alcohol consumption. Families with warm relationships and good communication tend to have adolescents with lower alcohol consumption.

Results: Significant negative correlations were observed between family functionality and various measures related to alcohol consumption: alcohol risk (rho = -0.211, p = 0.001), dependence symptoms (r = -0.300, p < 0.01), consumption harmfulness of alcohol (r = 0.242, p < 0.01), and alcohol consumption in adolescents (r = -0.264, p < 0.01). Conclusions: Family functionality shows a significant negative correlation with alcohol consumption and dependence among adolescents in Urcos, Cusco, suggesting that strengthening family relationships is crucial to reduce these risk behaviors.
