Factores protectores sobre el consumo de alcohol que promueven las maestras de pre-escolares

Abstract

This study aimed to describe what protection factors against alcohol consumption are promoted by pre-school teachers at the department of San Alberto, Córdoba, Argentina. This is a quantitative and descriptive study. An auto-administrated instrumented was applied to 43 teachers. The study variables were submitted to descriptive statistical analysis. It was observed that, in a general and indirect way, the teachers' actions focused on the institutional and sociocultural protection factors, since a large part of the developed activities mainly refer to: Stimulating healthy habits, school climate, recreation, group strengthening and integration, interaction and participation in institutions and society. There is a need for the teachers to implement reformulated direct and concrete actions to solve the alcohol problem among pre-school students, with a view to a greater social impact.

O papel da escola nas ações preventivas relacionadas ao uso de álcool e outras drogas por alunos do Ensino Fundamental I

“…In this regard, researchers Avila, Ferriani and Nakano (20) suggest that strategies within the school context should be developed with the objective of not only reducing the percentage of potential drinkers, but, essentially, stimulating the quality of life in all children. After all, both the school and teachers improve the protection factors for the development of a communication of intervention and early detection in the fight against the use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs.…”
