Students’ Oral Histories on Family Environment and Alcohol Use: A Qualitative Study
<b>Objectives</b>: To investigate family-related factors influencing alcohol use from the perspective of nursing students. <b>Methods</b>: A qualitative approach grounded in the Oral History method was employed. Data were collected through interviews with nursing students from a public higher education institution located in the Amazon. Thematic analysis was conducted, supported by a theoretical framework relevant to alcohol consumption. <b>Results</b>: Four thematic categories emerged: (1) family inhibition toward alcohol use, (2) implicit prohibition of alcohol within the household, (3) financial dependence on family, and (4) responsibilities associated with adulthood. <b>Conclusions</b>: The study highlights the protective role of family structure in shaping young adults' attitudes toward alcohol. These findings can inform university-level interventions, including: Awareness and education campaigns, Prevention programs, Psychological and psychiatric support services, and Partnerships with local communities.
