Die effek van alkohol gebruik op die vrouens

Abstract

Free translation of Afrikaans summary provided by author:

A literature study was undertaken on the above sub-problems. The questionnaire [used in the study] was compiled according to [information obtained in] the literature study, and thereafter an empirical study was done of women who use/abuse alcohol

The results of the research on these women showed the literature to be partly true and correct, for example, that women's alcohol abuse affects both the women and their families negatively

The investigation also showed that the woman's alcohol abuse affects her children both physically and emotionally. Members of the family undergo role changes and the alcoholic mother's responsibilities are taken over by the father and the children

The researcher drew conclusions from the study and made recommendations for consideration by social workers on how they could render cost-effective services to these families
