          Abstract

          RESUMO Esta pesquisa descreve o consumo de bebidas alcoólicas e a presença de fatores associados entre acadêmicos de Odontologia. É um estudo transversal com 172 acadêmicos de Odontologia, cujos dados foram obtidos por meio de questionários com questões referentes às características do consumo de álcool e à existência ou não de fatores associados a este hábito. Os resultados apontam que 58,7% dos entrevistados relataram uso de bebidas alcoólicas, sendo a maioria do sexo masculino. Esquecer problemas e sentir-se bem foram os principais fatores motivacionais relatados. Problemas familiares e a perda de objetos foram as consequências mais observadas. A relação entre sexo e consumo mostrou-se estatisticamente significante. A relação entre sexo e as variáveis relacionadas ao consumo de álcool foi significativa para “uso em eventos sociais”, “fazer amigos” e “sentir-se bem em eventos sociais”.Foi observado consumo elevado e preocupante de bebidas alcoólicas entre os acadêmicos.

          ABSTRACT This study aimed to describe the use of alcohol and the presence of associated factors among dental students. Cross-sectional in nature, the study surveyed 172 dental students, whose data was obtained through questionnaires with questions regarding the characteristics of their alcohol consumption and the presence or absence of factors associated with this habit. The results show that 58.7% of respondents reported using alcohol, with the incidence higher among male students. The main reported motivating factors were forgetting their problems and feeling good, with the most frequently observed consequences family problems and losing belongings. The relationship between gender and consumption was statistically significant. The relationship between sex and the variables related to alcohol consumption was significant for “use in social events”, “making friends” and “feeling good at social events”.The overall findings suggested excessive and worrying levels of alcohol consumption among students.

          Student factors: understanding individual variation in college drinking.

          Research on individual differences in drinking rates and associated problems among college students is reviewed. Studies are included if completed within U.S. college and university samples and found in published scientific literature as identified by several searches of national databases. The resulting review suggests first that the extant literature is large and varied in quality, as most studies use questionnaire responses from samples of convenience in cross-sectional designs. Evidence from studies of college samples does consistently suggest that alcohol is consumed for several different purposes for different psychological effects in different contexts. A pattern of impulsivity/sensation seeking is strongly related to increased drinking among students. This pattern is supported by research into personality, drinking motives, alcohol expectancies and drinking contexts. A second pattern of drinking associated with negative emotional states is also documented. Some long-term consequences of this second pattern have been described. Social processes appear especially important for drinking in many college venues and may contribute to individual differences in drinking more than enduring personality differences. Future research efforts should test interactive and mediating models of multiple risk factors and address developmental processes.
