.Given the importance of continuing education to improve nursing practice, research has been done to study the phenomenon of nursing staff members' participation and to try and explain the reasons that motivate individuals to take part in continuing education activities. Results have found that motivational orientations of nursing staff are the main force to start participatory behavior, which can also be positively and/or negative influenced by demographic variables, life situation and the structure of the education opportunity (9)(10) .In some countries, nurses' participation in continuing education has been made obligatory, based on the premise that professionals lack motivation to voluntarily update their knowledge and skills without external pressure. However, studies carried out in places where participation is obligatory haveconcluded that these groups demonstrate the same pattern of motivational orientations as professionals who voluntarily take part in continuing education, that is, they are motivated by cognitive interests and by a desire for professional advancement (3,9-10) . and teaching strategies to the participants' needs (9) . If, as shown by current research, continuing education contributes to the quality of nursing care, the reasons that influence professionals' participation become more significant for the nursing profession (11)(12) . These are some of the elements that constituted the base for this study. We aim to study the effect of personal and professional factors, as well as motivational orientations, on the participation of nursing staff at two health institutions, one public and another private. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKMost people cannot express the reasons for getting involved in an activity as complex as continuing education. Initial studies found that individuals participating in continuing education stood out by their type of motivation to participate and were classified in three groups: the first was classified as "goal-oriented", that is, people using education as a way of achieving clear objectives.The second group of "activity-oriented" professionals participate for reasons unrelated to the objectives or contents of the activities they enroll in.They take courses to join groups, looking for social contact. Their relation to the activity is essentially based on the quantity and type of human relations they can obtain. The third group is "learning-oriented" and seeks knowledge for its own value. Although the author observed that this is not a rigid classification and that the types of motivation are probably represented best by three superposed circles, distinction is clearly the main emphasis (13) .Later, based on the above classification, the reasons were identified why individuals participate in continuing education. These have been described as motivational orientations, that is, the dimensions underlying the reasons for participating in continuing education programs, which reflect the individual's current level of needs, beliefs, values, attitudes and perceptions related to ...

RESUMENEl consumo de alcohol constituye un problema de salud pública por la alta prevalencia del consumo, la mortalidad y trastornos mentales asociados a éste, principalmente en los jóvenes.

O objetivo foi identificar o consumo de álcool e o tabaco entre os adolescentes. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e a população foi constituída por 386 indivíduos com 15 a 20 anos de uma escola de ensino médio de Monterrey, Nuevo León. Os participantes responderam a um questionário sociodemográfico e o AUDIT. Os resultados mostram que o número de bebidas consumidas em um dia típico foi de 6 bebidas padrão (DE= 6.6) e consumiu uma média de 2 cigarros por ocasião de beber (DE= 2.4). Índice de bebidas alcoólicas U= 15682; = 4.33 (p= 0.006) e o número de cigarros U= 16197; = 1.01 (p= 0.007) é maior em homens do que em mulheres

This is a descriptive, qualitative, and correlation study with 112 elderly aged 60 years or older. This study aimed to identify differences in alcohol consumption according to gender and marital status, and differences in the consumption of medical drugs by gender. It also aims to determine differences in stressful life events by gender, and differences in stressful life events associated to alcohol and medical drugs use and abuse, as well as to know their perceptions on the most stressful life events they have experienced. The results showed significant differences in alcohol consumption by gender (U=154.0, p <0.01), in which the consumption was higher for men. It was reported that the medical drugs consumption (χ 2 =5.95, p <0.15) and life stress indexes (U=1038.5, p =0.10) are higher for women. The most stressful life events reported were: their health problems or those of their relatives, family and economic problems.DESCRIPTORS: aged; alcohol drinking; stress SITUACIONES DE LA VIDA ESTRESANTES, USO Y ABUSO DE ALCOHOL Y DROGAS EN ADULTOS MAYORES DE MONTERREY, MÉXICOEstudio descriptivo correlacional con aproximación cualitativa de los datos en 112 adultos mayores de 60 años, con objeto de identificar las diferencias en el consumo de alcohol por sexo y estado marital y las diferencias en el consumo de drogas médicas por sexo, determinar los eventos de la vida estresantes que se asocian con el uso y abuso de alcohol y drogas médicas, y conocer las percepciones sobre los eventos de la vida que han experimentado como más estresantes.

The aim of the study was to discover the relationship between risk perception and alcohol consumption in adolescents in high school. This was a descriptive, correlational study. The sample was probabilistic, stratified by semester with allocation proportional to the size of each stratum, in a sample of 345 adolescents. We used identity cards, the Alcohol Risk Perception Questionnaire and the AUDIT instrument. The results showed a significant negative relationship between the risk perception rate and the AUDIT (rs= -.418, p=.001).We can conclude that the higher the perceived risk, the lower the alcohol consumption among adolescents.Descriptors: Perception; Risk; Adolescent; Alcoholic Beverages; Students. 162 SMAD, Rev.
