Abstract

Alcohol
dependence is a family disease. Alcoholism is not only harmful to the
individual user physiologically, but also affects psychologically and
emotionally to partners, children, family, parents, friends, colleagues and
others. In this context, this study was conducted with the aim of examining the
effects of alcoholism or alcohol dependence on family and children. Along with
the presence of a addicted person, differences arise in the roles of marriage,
and the problems take place. Addiction problems in the family give rise to
psychiatric problems in marriage. In addition, parental alcohol addiction can
have many negative effects on children by significantly degrading the quality
of parenting. Health professionals working in units providing services to
healthy people (eg workplace, family health centers, etc.). Their aim is
prevent alcohol addiction before it is developed and identify risky individuals
and offer counseling services in order to prevent addiction development.

Alkolizmin Aile ve Çocuk Üzerine Etkisi

Abstract

Alkol bağımlılığı bir aile hastalığıdır. Alkolizmden
sadece kullanıcı birey fizyolojik olarak zarar görmez, yanısıra eşi, çocukları,
ailesi, ebeveynleri, arkadaşları, iş arkadaşları ve bunun gibi birçok kişi
psikolojik ve duygusal yönden olumsuz etkilenir. Bu bağlamda bu çalışma
alkolizm veya alkol bağımlılığının aile ve çocuk üzerindeki etkilerini
incelemek amacı ile yapılmıştır. Bağımlı bir kişinin varlığı ile birlikte evlilik
içinde beklenen rollerde farklılıklar ortaya çıkar ve
yeniden yapılanmalar meydana gelir. Aile içerisinde bağımlılığa bağlı
sorunlar artıkça eşlerdeki psikiyatrik sorunlar artar. Yanısıra ebeveyn alkol
bağımlılığı ebeveynlik kalitesini önemli derecede bozarak çocuklar üzerinde birçok
olumsuz etki yapabilir. Bağımlılık gelişiminin önlenmesi açısından sağlıklı
bireylere hizmet sunan birimlerde(ör; iş yeri, aile sağlığı merkezleri
vb.)  çalışan sağlık profesyonelleri
hizmet verdikleri her bireyi ailesiyle birlikte ele alıp, riskli bireyleri
belirleyebilir ve danışmanlık hizmetleri sunabilirler.
