Percepción del apoyo familiar en los consumidores de drogas y su relación con trastornos psiquiátricos / Perception of family support in dependents of alcohol and others drugs: relationship with mental disorders

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar las relaciones entre la percepción del apoyo familiar, los síntomas depresivos, ansiedad y desesperanza en las personas dependientes de alcohol o drogas (AOD). Participaron de este estudio 97 pacientes en tratamiento, de edades comprendidas entre 18 y 58 años, de ambos sexos de seis instituciones privadas para el tratamiento de la drogodependencia, ubicado en Santos - SP / Brasil. Los participantes respondieron al Inventario de Percepción de Apoyo a la Familia, IPSF, el Inventario de Depresión de Beck-BDI, el Inventario de Ansiedad de Beck, BAI, Escala de Desesperanza - Beck y criterios para el abuso o dependencia de sustancias en el DSM-IV TR. Los resultados indican la existencia de correlaciones negativas entre el apoyo familiar percibido y los niveles de depresión, ansiedad y desesperanza. En la muestra estudiada, el apoyo familiar resultó ser un factor como una variable condicionada por los niveles de ansiedad y depresión. Estos resultados indican que la percepción del apoyo familiar puede ser un importante apoyo social para el paciente con AOD (AU)
