“…These mothers also distanced themselves from drinking environments and friendships based around alcohol, replicating previous findings [37]. Seeking out and befriending abstinent others may mitigate against potential factors of inferiority and threats to esteem brought about by experiencing issues related to alcohol problems.…”

Alcohol consumption by professional educated women and mothers is rising. Drinking alcohol in the home is, for many, becoming a normalised and daily ritual. Previous research focuses on causality, risk factors and health related damage. Few studies focus on mothers of school age children specifically or why some mothers pursue and sustain alcohol free lives. The role of social media in enacting and sustaining abstinence is under researched, as are other factors important for this group in remaining abstinent. Aims: This qualitative study explored the reasons why mothers drank alcohol, and factors contributing to their decision to become alcohol free. It also explored the value and utility of social media in the form of a specific web-site aimed at providing support in abstinence. Methods: Six UK mothers with school age children who had become abstinent after previously drinking over official limits were recruited via a social network website and interviewed. Transcripts were analysed thematically and inductive themes emerged. Results: Participants used alcohol to self-medicate, as a reward/relaxation strategy and because it was a normal part of their professional and daily lives. Reported reasons for abstinence included the negative effects alcohol had upon lives, inability to moderate/drink within guidelines and "trigger" events. Participants reported that their use of social media was inspirational, giving them a platform to share stories and help others and was preferred to traditional support. The use of social media in this way represented a supportive community and assisted vigilance toward the danger of relapse. Positive parenting identity, alternatives to alcohol, abstinence rewards and support from abstinent others were all factors in sustaining abstinence. Conclusions: Health professionals should recognise this hidden and hard to reach group and the potential efficacy of social media in assisting recovery from alcohol related issues.

“…Por otra parte, las personas de edad que presentan déficits en lo que respecta a sus redes de apoyo han mostrado una mayor tendencia al abuso de drogas (Allard, Allaire, Leclerc & Langlois, 1995;Warren, Stein & Grella, 2007) y de alcohol (Brennan & Moos, 1990;Schonfeld & Dupree, 1991) y se ha identificado a la insatisfacción con el apoyo social del cual se dispone como una de las variables predictoras de la ideación suicida en los adultos mayores (De Leo & Ormskerk ,1991;Mireault & De Man, 1996;Vanderhorst & Mc Laren, 2005).…”

RESUMENLa evaluación de la red de apoyo social constituye una herramienta primordial para la valoración integral de los adultos mayores y el diseño de intervenciones que contemplen sus propios recursos y necesidades. Este trabajo efectúa un análisis crítico de algunas certezas y dudas acerca de la red durante la vejez. En primer lugar, se exponen los fundamentos del modelo teórico del apoyo social y se define el concepto de red de apoyo. Luego, se analizan los cambios que se producen en ella y su impacto sobre el bienestar en la vejez. Se concluye la amplia variabilidad en la composición y funcionalidad de las redes en la vejez evidenciando que esta última no determina la insuficiencia del apoyo social de un modo inexorable. Finalmente, a fin de enriquecer el conocimiento de esta etapa de la vida y deconstruir presupuestos fundados en un paradigma deficitario, se propone: a) evaluar las redes de manera conjunta con la persona de edad y considerar su punto de vista subjetivo acerca de la satisfacción con la misma y b) priorizar la investigación de redes de diferentes niveles de suficiencia y funcionalidad, de sus modificaciones y de los motivos por los cuáles éstas se han generado. Palabras clave: Apoyo social -Red de apoyo social -Vejez-Evaluación OLD AGE SOCIAL SUPPORT NETWORK. ASSESSMENT CONTRIBUTIONS ABSTRACTThe social network assessment is an important strategy in old adult's whole evaluation and to promote interventions considering their resources and needs. This paper analyses some certainties and doubts about elderly people's social network. In the first place, the social network theoretical model bases are presented and the social support network is defined. Second, the network changes and its impact on old adult's well-being is analyzed. The social network variability shows that the insufficient support is not inexorably determined by the age. Finally, to increase the knowledge about the elderly and to deconstruct presuppositions based on a paradigm of deficits, the following is proposed: a) to evaluate the social network together with old adults and to consider their subjective perception about social support satisfaction, and b) to prioritize the research on different levels of sufficiency and functionality in social networks, its changes and the reasons why this may occur.

“…Studies has shown that social support is considered as an important factor for positive and remunerative experiences which finally leads to adolescents' self-worth and self-esteem level. A research result indicated that there is significant relationship between perceived social support and adolescents' adaptability [16]. Masoudnia concluded that there is negative and significant relationship between the perceived social support and depression [17].…”

“…Such adolescents who do not observe the society's ethics and customs will face serious problems such as anti-social behaviors and committing crimes as they begin their ages of youth or university's period [8]. Considering that perception of social interaction, perceived social support and social acceptance play important roles in adolescents' psychological health and aggression [10,16] and since the level of boy adolescents' aggression is higher than girls [24], investigation of these variables relationships with adolescents' aggression, particularly in boy adolescents seems necessary. Considering the significance of this topic and the mentioned facts, this study was aimed to investigate the relationship between perception of social interaction, perceived social support and social acceptance with aggression among adolescents…”

Results indicated that among the perception of social interaction elements; there is positive and significant relationship between negative thoughts and aggression, and negative and significant relationship between positive thoughts and aggression. Also, there is negative and significant relationship between the elements of perceived social support (social support of friends, family and others) and regression. Moreover, there is negative and significant relationship between social acceptance and adolescents' aggression. Thus, it can be concluded that perception of social interaction, perceived social support and social acceptance are significant factors which effect the occurrence or absence of adolescents' aggression.
