Abstract

This study aimed at analyzing the level of personal satisfaction of adolescents addicted to drugs in family environment during the treatment stage at a mental health institute. Authors used the Family Satisfaction Scale with Adjectives adapted, validated and applied to a sample of 34 patients selected according to established inclusion and exclusion criteria. A significant relationship between the level of satisfaction and parents' good relationship in their marriage was found. 61% of adolescents presented an average personal satisfaction level and 41.18% of them were from families whose maintenance is provided by both parents. There are no similar studies, thus, this research aims at contributing to improve rehabilitation programs based on the nursing perspective and facilitating the relationship between the family and the addicted in treatment.
