Abstract

Objective. To determine alcohol consumption in undergraduate nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method. Quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional research, in a sample of 309 students of the Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing, during August 2021 to January 2022, with intentional sampling, applying the AUDIT test and in compliance with the ethical aspects of the General Health Law on Research for the Health of Mexico. Data analysis was developed using descriptive statistics, frequency, percentage and nonparametric Chi-square test. Results. 25.6% are men and 74.4% women, 72.8% did not present COVID-19 and 30.7% were in quarantine, 70.9% were classified with occasional consumption, 17.5% are abstinent, 11% with risk pattern, harmful (0.3%) and alcohol dependence (0.3%). Conclusion. Women are the most frequent consumers of alcohol (73.9%) and men are the most frequent consumers of alcohol, al- though on fewer occasions, exposing themselves to greater health risks such as dependence on the substance. During the pandemic, the people who confirmed alcohol consumption continued with the habit of drinking alcohol in a normal way, even though they were the ones who got sick the most. Alcohol consumption was presented by secondary situa- tions such as confinement at home, stress, anxiety and worry; therefore, it is important to design nursing interventions in the face of the drug phenomenon and implement them when returning to activities to limit the damage and avoid consequences on academic performance.
