Abstract
The purpose of the work is to study individual manifestations of adverse effects of drinking people on children in their microsocial environment.
In four regions of Ukraine (Kharkiv, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia regions, as well as the city of Kyiv), during 2018—2020, 1742 people were examined, who belonged to three qualitatively different comparison groups: patients with alcohol dependence (AD) (393 people); healthy relatives of alcohol-dependent patients (274 people) and representatives of the general population (1075 people). Of these surveyed, respondents were identified who had children in the environment: 288 persons among healthy people and 121 persons among patients with AD). Further research focused on this particular contingent. The main research tool was the questionnaire of the international research consortium GENAHTO (Gender, Alcohol, and Harms to Others). The obtained data were processed by methods of mathematical statistics (variance and correlation analysis) on a computer using Excel 2016 spreadsheet program (with the Data Analysis package).
The influence of the presence of drinkers in the environment of children on the frequency of manifestations of their distress is described. It has been confirmed that the most common reason for the disadvantage of children is their own drinking parents, as well as other (except for parents and siblings) drinking relatives. It was found that in healthy respondent’s unfavorable behavioral features of relatives and friends of drinkers always directly correlate with indicators of the disadvantage of children in their environment, while in respondents’ dependent on alcohol these correlations have a complex, mosaic nature, which requires further research to establish the causes of this phenomenon. and its use in practical work.
