The objective of this research was to recognize the strengthening and weakening potentials of young workers who study in a public school. It is a qualitative study that interviewed 19 students 16 to 20 years old of the nocturnal period. The main weakening potentials were: long hours of working, excess of responsibility, lack of stability and essentially manual, broken up and repetitive work. The few strengthening potentials were: socialization and satisfaction of social reproduction needs. The phenomenon of intergenerational regression was verified. The study of the binomial strengthening-weakening of the young denounces more negative than positive meaning of the concurrence work-study, that is closely related to the survival needs of the families. This process is potentially weakening, being able to cause health problems to the young. Descriptors: W Descriptors ork; Adolescent; Adolescent health.

The objective of this qualitative study is to assess the meaning of alcoholism to alcoholic’s patient’s caregivers. Fieldwork involved comprehensive ethnographic observation and in depth interviews with ten female caregivers of alcoholic patients undergoing treatment in health mental care in Santos. The study showed that family relationships were unstable and conflicting. It was difficult to recognize addiction. Women accepted addiction as illness when the patient was hospitalized. Addiction to alcohol had been hidden by social value of intake and by unequal gender relationships. There has been a social restraint of the caregivers. Women have assumed the care and were organizers of an unstable and painful everyday life. Descriptores: Caregivers; Alcoholism; Qualitative research; Family.
