Part 1
Impact of family and culture on drug use by adolescent.
Adolescence is the stage of development OF A HUMAN LIFE CYCLE. . It is the stage
of transformation from childhood to adulthood. There are various changes teens go through
which are social, physical and emotional changes. Teens from various backgrounds are
dominated by several parental expectations and cultural norms which is the base of peculiar
attitudes towards norms and values within society. Parents and culture plays a major role in the
foundation of building the identity, personality and health of the adolescent(Kogan, Wilber &
Mosqueda, (2016). Culture strongly influence the behaviour, development and values & beliefs.
Whereas Good communication and family rituals have a positive effect on the teens. Positive
cultural beliefs and values by the parents helps the child in their academic success and help in
raising their self-esteem. Somehow pressure by parents for focusing on academic and social
achievement can lead adolescents undergo through anxiety and high rate of depression. The teens
of poor families can have more health problems and poor health status and less use of health care
services. They had to face several cultural difference also which can be due to their status
(Keller, 2017).
The major issues that is faced in the age of adolescence is regarding the drug use. Family of
particular adolescence have the negative impact as its leads to major work problem issues which
1

have the inclusion in decreasing the productivity along with missed work and joblessness. Due
to having the addiction to drugs at this development ages it creates the financial burden in family
due to lack of productivity and financial losses. The family fails in providing the basic needs
such as food and healthcare for the children.
The Positive Academic achievements and success have directly impact in reduction in
the risky behaviours as well as healthy behaviour of the adolescent. In today's recent technology
the use of more internet day by today's teenage leads to have a negative impact on their health as
they will move on towards the negative habits like smoking, drugs, violence, drinking and cyber
bullying etc., which have an adverse effect on the health of the teenage. It has been identified
that majorly the adolescence living with step family have maximum chance of being the drug
addict. In family mother has been considered at important and essential figure in whole process
of development and progress on an individual, The parents should have and interaction with their
adolescence and should monitor the activities which are performed by their child in their daily
routine and should avail that they don't use Internet for the negative concerns. The positive
culture will develop the positive behaviour in the teenage, the negative culture tends to develop
the contrary impact on their behaving habits and thus this will leads to enhancement in the worst
habits such as smoking, taking drugs and drinking etc (Kousholt, 2018). Less interaction with
parents, and lack of moral support tends to develop the anger among the teenage and thus this
result to violence in the behaviour of the adolescent. Negligence, abandonment and deprivation
of care are considered forms of intra-family violence. This violence is characterized by the
absence, refusal or lack of necessary care to whoever should receive care and attention. It usually
exposes the youths to mistreatment, failed school years, sexual abuse, among other problems.
Nowadays the teenage learns the bad habits from their peers also, and they easily develop such
practices in themselves which can be smoking, drinking etc. which are can be due to the less
interaction of parents with their teenage (Can adolescent development change according to the
culture and upbringing,2019). Parents should motivate and support their child emotionally and
physically so that they don't go beyond adopting such bad practices in their lifestyles and should
motivate towards adopting the healthy lifestyles(Irawan and Susilowati, 2018).
Part 2
Impact of nurses on drug use by adolescent.
Nurses have a vital role in the ensuring adolescents and children to learn the adverse
2

effect of the unhealthy lifestyle and behaviour. They have several types of expertise, as some of
them are working as general health promoters, some as a manager of projects for health
promotions and few as a patient-focused promoters for health. It is depends on the
multidisciplinary knowledge. The nurse has been categorized in three parts- discovering public
health nurses who will be aware of psychotropic drug which are been used in health dialogue
with adolescents. This chooses as to either act or not act in relation to psychotropic drug use.
The next will be those nurses public health nurses who take action in cooperating public health
nurses, who will have the cooperation along the adolescents, their families, schools and others.
If there is establishment of cooperation, supporting public health nurses teach and support the
adolescent in relation to psychotropic drug use.
Nurses must encourage teenage parents to reinforce and model good health practices which
includes the nutritious and balanced meal regularly. And developing the positive family activities
help in developing the good behaviour among the adolescent. Interaction with the adolescent
helps them to educate them and can easily guide them to cure of certain risk factor that which
can be harmful for their health. They avail the teenagers and parents with the bad impacts of the
negative habits that developed in the teenage which are smoking, drinking, drugs etc. so that they
can prevent the child's from getting through such activities. The effective multidisciplinary
collaboration by nurse encourages the teenage and their families which help in promoting safety
and effective use of measures that can be adopted by adolescent and their parents( Byczkowski,
(2016).
Nurses use the collaborative care plan to work and understand the clinical, social and
emotional needs of the adolescent. Nurses can offer the direct treatment and guidance to them
with the collaborative team work and plays a role model in their open communication and honest
quality care to the adolescent. Collaborative care is highly beneficial for adolescents, patient and
the total performance of healthcare teams with providing the safety to patient. There are different
range of tools and instruments which are helpful for nurse to assist their patients(Oltean and
Ferro, 2019). The nurse can use the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test this helps in
availing through the early signs of harmful drinking and can warn the adolescent and their
parents to stop such practices. Glasgow Depression Scale helps to avail the risk of depression
among the adolescent with learning disabilities so that they can be cured of depression and stress.
MUST is the five-step screening tool which helps in identifying the teenage which are
3

undernourished or obese and can thus the nurse can provide them a diet chart to follow to
overcome such deficiency and move towards the healthy daily schedule. The various tools help
the nurse to avails through the deficiency which lacks among the adolescent and thus can find
measures to overcome that issues(Center, 2019).
Part 3
Values and Beliefs and there Impact of drug use by adolescent on person centred care -
Person centred care is the approach where patient are actively involved in the medical
treatment of their own under the close cooperation of health professionals. It's not about availing
through wants of the patient and providing information it's about considering the desires, family
situations, values, social circumstances and lifestyles. Under this adolescent and their family
itself take part in their own healthcare decision, and work upon that with the collaboration with
their nurse so that they can be diagnosed quickly(Scharf, 2017). The key element is developing
the high quality healthcare to the patients. They work on supporting the adolescent emotionally,
making them physically comfortable and safe. The adolescent with the help of such approach can
easily quit the negative habit of smoking, drinking and drugs and could take measures under the
professional guidance of the carer. It's their own decision of quieting such practices and thus they
decided to work upon quieting them. Adolescent's can overcome this by the moral support from
their family and friends so that they could not give up(Aroonsrimorakot, 2019).
The adolescent can avail through different awareness program so that this will help them
to avoid such practices, and they could be informed with the bad impact of such practices to their
health and lifestyles. Balanced diet and nutrition chart could also be provided to them so that
they can follow the healthy diet to stay fit. The personal healthcare teams used to provide the
supporting people as to have the grater control to the health of and individual. With the help of
Social prescribing, a formal way for primary care services to refer patients along with social,
emotional or practical needs to a variety of holistic, local, non-clinical services. With the help of
this, it supports people to have the greater control of their own health. Social prescribing is
sometimes termed as a ‘community referral’ which oftens have involvement of a link worker or
navigator who will help in having the proper designing a package of services or activities to
meet their needs . They can provide the yoga classes and physical activities can be performed to
reduce the stress and overcome the depression and could relax. This all such activities in
coordination with carer and the families can be performed by the adolescent to overcome the bad
4

practices such as drinking, smoking, drugs and bullying etc. Interaction programs can be
performed between the parents and the adolescent so that they can be aware of the lack point of
their teenage and avails them moral support so that they will feel more involved in the family
situations, activities and decision-making. This all such measures can be taken by carer for the
adolescent person centred care and thus this will help them to overcome such bad practices
effectively(Arola, Dahlin-Ivanoff and Häggblom-Kronlöf, 2018).
CONCLUSION
From the above study it is concluded that the families and culture plays a vital role in the
development of personality, identity, belief and health of the adolescent. The positive parental
behaviour avails the child in their academic success as well as development of self-esteem. This
develops the morale support among the teenage so that they don't move towards such bad
practices. Different measure and guidelines given by nurse helps adolescent to overcome such
practices and moves forward for the healthy lifestyles. Development programs and different
measures by carer helps the adolescent to effectively manage to render through healthy lifestyles
and work for the better life goals. Person centred approach is very helpful in the providing the
high quality service to the teenage. It is very necessary for teenage to being aware through the
good health practices so that they couldn't get sick or suffer from severe diseases.
