Resumo: Several studies in foreign literatures indicated an increase in health-related problems induced by alcohol use as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic accompanying limitations on mobility. However, there were a handful of previous research on alcohol usage in the Philippines, particularly in Higher Education Institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic. With this current gap in mind, this study evaluated alcohol use among students at a Higher Education Institution in Metro Manila in order to offer evidence-based data for the formulation of alcohol-related health policy. Furthermore, this study is critical in developing an intervention program to assist students in diverting their focus away from alcohol intake. This study used an online survey form, with 564 students participated. The findings revealed that respondents have different preferences and patterns. Almost all of the respondents are aware of the dangers of excessive alcoholic beverage consumption; a large percentage determined that they do not have a drinking problem; a small percentage revealed that they have tried driving while under the influence of alcohol; and more than one-fourth of the respondents drank at least one glass of alcoholic beverages during enhanced community quarantine. The chi-squared test was also utilized to assess the difference between COVID-19 lockdowns and alcohol consumptions.

Varios estudios en literatura extranjera indicaron un aumento de los problemas relacionados con la salud inducidos por el consumo de alcohol como resultado de la epidemia de COVID-19 que acompaña a las limitaciones de movilidad. Sin embargo, hubo algunas investigaciones previas sobre el consumo de alcohol en Filipinas, particularmente en instituciones de educación superior durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Teniendo en cuenta esta brecha actual, este estudio evaluó el consumo de alcohol entre estudiantes de una institución de educación superior en Metro Manila con el fin de ofrecer datos basados en evidencia para la formulación de políticas de salud relacionadas con el alcohol. Además, este estudio es fundamental para desarrollar un programa de intervención para ayudar a los estudiantes a desviar su atención del consumo de alcohol. Este estudio utilizó un formulario de encuesta en línea, con la participación de 564 estudiantes. Los hallazgos revelaron que los encuestados tienen diferentes preferencias y patrones. Casi la totalidad de los encuestados son conscientes de los peligros del consumo excesivo de bebidas alcohólicas; un gran porcentaje determinó que no tiene problema con el alcohol; un pequeño porcentaje reveló que ha intentado conducir bajo los efectos del alcohol; y más de una cuarta parte de los encuestados bebieron al menos un vaso de bebidas alcohólicas durante la cuarentena comunitaria mejorada. La prueba de chi-cuadrado también se utilizó para evaluar la diferencia entre los confinamientos por COVID-19 y el consumo de alcohol.Vários estudos em literaturas estrangeiras indicaram um aumento nos problemas relacionados com a saúde induzidos pelo consumo de álcool como resultado da epidemia de COVID-19 que acompanha as limitações à mobilidade. No entanto, houve algumas pesquisas anteriores sobre o uso de álcool nas Filipinas, particularmente em instituições de ensino superior durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Com esta lacuna atual em mente, este estudo avaliou o uso de álcool entre estudantes de uma instituição de ensino superior na região metropolitana de Manila, a fim de oferecer dados baseados em evidências para a formulação de políticas de saúde relacionadas ao álcool. Além disso, este estudo é fundamental no desenvolvimento de um programa de intervenção para ajudar os alunos a desviar o foco da ingestão de álcool. Este estudo utilizou um formulário de pesquisa online, com a participação de 564 alunos. As descobertas revelaram que os entrevistados têm preferências e padrões diferentes. Quase a totalidade dos entrevistados tem consciência dos perigos do consumo excessivo de bebidas alcoólicas; uma grande percentagem determinou que não têm problemas com a bebida; uma pequena porcentagem revelou que já tentou dirigir sob efeito de álcool; e mais de um quarto dos entrevistados beberam pelo menos um copo de bebidas alcoólicas durante a quarentena comunitária reforçada. O teste qui-quadrado também foi utilizado para avaliar a diferença entre os bloqueios da COVID-19 e o consumo de álcool.Universidade Estadual de Alagoas - Eduneal2024-04-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://diversitasjournal.com.br/diversitas_journal/article/view/286710.48017/dj.v9iSpecial1.2867Diversitas Journal; Vol. 9 No. 1_Special (2024): Sustainability in Asia-Pacific: Multidisciplinary Insights and InnovationsDiversitas Journal; Vol. 9 Núm. 1_Special (2024): Sostenibilidad en Asia-Pacífico: ideas e innovaciones multidisciplinariasDiversitas Journal; v. 9 n. 1_Special (2024): Sustentabilidade na Ásia-Pacífico: insights e inovações multidisciplinares2525-521510.48017/dj.v9i1reponame:Diversitas Journalinstname:Universidade Estadual de Alagoas (UNEAL)instacron:UNEALenghttps://diversitasjournal.com.br/diversitas_journal/article/view/2867/2480Copyright (c) 2024 Michelle Lei Victorino, Jovy Cuadrahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVictorino, Michelle LeiCuadra, Jovy2024-04-18T14:49:57Zoai:ojs.diversitasjournal.com.br:article/2867Revistahttps://diversitasjournal.com.br/diversitas_journal/indexPUBhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/index.php/muralinternacional/oairevistadiversitasjournal@gmail.com2525-52152525-5215opendoar:2024-04-18T14:49:57Diversitas Journal - Universidade Estadual de Alagoas (UNEAL)false
