| description | The family as a primary social group conglomerate is of fundamental importance in society. The problems of family functioning can influence both the onset and decompensation of chronic diseases, in most psychiatric diseases and in health risk behaviors. A descriptive study was conducted to characterize the functioning in the family of the alcoholic patient dependent, with or without complications, belonging to “Martha Abreu” Educational Polyclinic" in Santa Clara, Villa Clara, in the period of June 2012 to January 2013. From a total of 236 patients were randomly selected 150 patients. In all families were administered the family functioning questionnaire to identify the causes of changes in the same patients and a form to specify the consequences of alcoholism that influence family functioning and lifestyles that affect and reviewed family medical histories to determine the main paranormatives of the patients studied. Alcoholic family rejection and inadequate family relationships were identified as the main causes of changes in family functioning, family consequences of alcoholism that influence family functioning were most relevant divorce, family rejection, domestic violence, neglect and family abandonment; lifestyles that most often affect family functioning were the daily intake of alcohol, domestic violence and the misuse of household per capita and the prevailing crisis was the demoralization. It is recommended to design a proposal for intervention to improve family functioning of alcoholism patients in general. |
