• Resumen

  • Nuestro trabajo pretende valorar la importancia que determinadas variables descriptoras de la enfermedad y del estrés familiar juegan en el niño, una vez que el enfermo alcohólico se integra en un programa de tratamiento. Seleccionamos una muestra de 155 niños entre 9 y 18 años, con una edad media de 13.44; todos eran hijos de padres alcohólicos en tratamiento y procedían de 93 familias. Los instrumentos utilizados, además de una entrevista semiestructurada, consistieron en una batería de tests psicológicos: FES, STAI, STAIC, CMAS y CAST. Una vez analizados los resultados concluimos que la estabilidad emocional del hijo de enfermo alcohólico en tratamiento viene caracterizada por: niveles bajos de ansiedad en ambos padres, principalmente en el padre, y una vivencia positiva de la enfermedad del padre. Además, la ansiedad del hijo de alcohólico en tratamiento viene influida de forma indirecta por la estabilidad familiar y unas adecuadas relaciones internas entre los miembros. Los resultados obtenidos nos hacen ser optimistas debido a que el tratamiento recibido parece ejercer una notable influencia positiva, no sólo para el enfermo alcohólico sino también para el resto de la familia y especialmente para los hijos.
