Abstract

Tema ovisnosti o alkoholu obično se povezuje s muškim osobama ovisnima o alkoholu, što je na neki način i razumljivo jer u cjelokupnoj populaciji muškarci zaista piju više od žena. Pijenje i opijanje žena od davnina je u obitelji i društvu oštrije osuđivano negoli isto ponašanje muškaraca. Upravo zbog takvog osuđivanja žene piju u tajnosti, duže skrivaju ovisnost od muškaraca te se teže odlučuju na bolničko ili psihosocijalno liječenje. U posljednjih nekoliko desetljeća u ženskoj je populaciji ovisnost o alkoholu u velikom porastu. Mijenja se tradicionalna uloga žene, posebno njezina obiteljska i radna uloga, te se žene susreću sa sve više stresnih situacija zbog kojih njihovo mentalno zdravlje pati. Sukladno navedenomu, alkoholizam u žena najčešće je popraćen narušenim mentalnim zdravljem, a nerijetko i sa psihičkim teškoćama. Protekla je 2020. godina u tom kontekstu bila posebno izazovna jer je međudjelovanje rizičnih čimbenika zbog COVID-19 pandemije i jakih potresa bilo puno izraženije. U ovom će se radu prikazati ovisnost o alkoholu u žena, upozorit će se na važnost očuvanja mentalnog zdravlja žena te će se pokušati sagledati učinak velikih događaja iz protekle godine na mentalno zdravlje žena i na njihove navike pijenja. Iznijet će se i mogućnosti unaprjeđenja podrške i pomoći ženama koje se bore s ovisnošću o alkoholu i narušenim mentalnim zdravljem. Sve u svrhu doprinosa razumijevanju ovoga problema, suočavanju s njime i mogućim rješenjima.

Abstract (english)

The topic of alcohol addiction is usually associated with male alcohol addiction, which is in a way understandable because in the entire population men indeed drink more than women. Drinking and intoxicating women has long been more strongly condemned in the family and society than the same behavior of men. Precisely because of such condemnation, women drink in secret, hide their dependence on men for longer, and find it harder to decide on hospital or psychosocial treatment. In recent decades, alcohol dependence in the female population has been on the rise. The traditional role of women is changing, especially her family and work role, and women are facing more and more stressful situations that cause their mental health to suffer. Accordingly, alcoholism in women is most often accompanied by impaired mental health, often with mental difficulties. The year 2020 was particularly challenging in this context because the interaction of risk factors due to the COVID-19 pandemic and strong earthquakes was much more pronounced. This paper will present women's alcohol dependence, draw attention to the importance of preserving women's mental health, and try to look at the impact of major events from the past year on women's mental health and their drinking habits. Opportunities will also be presented to improve support and help women struggling with alcohol addiction and impaired mental health. All for the purpose of contributing to the understanding of this problem, dealing with it and possible solutions.
