Abstract:
The objective of this study is to develop a middle-range theory describing how adolescents adapt to parental alcohol consumption from a nursing perspective, using Fawcett's conceptual-theoretical-empirical framework. The theory of adolescent adaptation to parental alcohol consumption explains how adolescents cope with parental problem drinking, considering personal, family, and social factors. Parental alcohol use is conceptualized as a focal stimulus, while adolescent age and sex, stress, and parenting practices act as contextual stimuli, influencing adaptation. The theory's six propositions align with Roy's Adaptation Model, providing a foundation for prevention and intervention programs for adolescents with alcohol-abusing parents.
