EBLING, Sandra Beatris Diniz et al. Alcohol abuse among rural women and their family relationships. Pensando fam. [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.2, pp. 120-131. ISSN 1679-494X.

Objective: to analyze the family relationships of rural women in alcohol abuse. Method: qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study, whose data were obtained through interviews conducted between March and August 2018, with 23 adult women in abusive use of alcohol, residing in rural areas of the Western Center of Rio Grande do Sul. Discursive textual analysis, guided by the Bioecological Theory of Human Development. Results: the participants experience both weakened and protective family relationships. The fragile are associated with feelings of helplessness and aggravation of conflicts in the family. Protectors involve support and concern from family members. Final considerations: the study points to the need for public policies that take into account the particularities of rural women in alcohol abuse and that health services, especially psychologists, establish strategies that mobilize the potential of these women's families, to rebuild or strengthen family relationships.
