    [Clinical nurses attitude towards alcoholic patients].
    (National Institutes of Health, 2004) Pilar Reyes Navarrete; Margarita Antônia Villar Luis
    This psychometric study aims to evaluate the attitudes of nurses working in a hospital network towards alcoholic patients. Research participants were 71 nurses from Public Hospitals in La Paz, Bolivia. Data were collected through the Seaman Mannello scale (Nurses' Attitudes Towards Alcohol and Alcoholism), which consists of five subscales. According to the research results, nurses agree that alcoholic patients' life in unpleasant, so that they are not their preferred patients. They believe these patients deserve nursing care like everybody else but disclose indifference towards feeling comfortable about this care, although they affirm their willingness to help the patient. Nurses perceive alcoholics as sensitive persons and think that alcohol consumption turns normal persons fragile and silly, which is risky since they conceptualize alcoholics as serious and unrecoverable patients. These data illustrate that the nurses' attitudes reflect their personal and professional context and probably their nursing education about this subject.

    Factores de riesgo para el consumo de alcohol en escolares de 10 a 18 años, de establecimientos educativos fiscales en la ciudad de La Paz - Bolivia (2003 - 2004)
    (University of São Paulo, 2005) Magdalena Ribera Oliveira; Margarita Antônia Villar Luis
    El estudio presenta la exposición de estudiantes de establecimientos educativos fiscales de la ciudad de La Paz (Bolivia), de grado primario y medio, a factores de riesgo incluidos en 7 áreas (conducta, salud mental, habilidades sociales, familia, escuela, pares y recreación). La muestra fue seleccionada de tres escuelas, conformando un total de 88 alumnos, la mayoría de 7ª y 8ª nivel. La muestra estuvo compuesta por dos grupos: caso (consumían alcohol y/o drogas) y control (no consumían). Los resultados evidenciaron factores de riesgo entre los estudiantes pertenecientes al grupo caso, mostrando de manera significativa la presencia de factores socio-económicos. Cabe subrayar que los jóvenes del grupo control también estuvieron vulnerables en algunas áreas (conducta, recreación y escuela). Asimismo, para ellos, la familia se identificó como factor de protección significativo en relación al grupo caso.
