Abstract
A nivel mundial existe gran preocupación por los efectos adversos del consumo nocivo de
alcohol y drogas especialmente en los jóvenes, en quienes se evidencia un crecimiento en su
consumo y su impacto en el rendimiento académico. El objetivo fue determinar la relación
entre el consumo de sustancias y el rendimiento académico. Se empleó un enfoque
cuantitativo, descriptivo, transversal y correlacional con una muestra de 248 estudiantes
universitarios, utilizando instrumentos específicos como: escala RAU, Test AUDIT y
cuestionario CAD-20 para medir el consumo de alcohol y drogas. Los resultados revelaron que
la mayoría de los estudiantes se encuentra en riesgo bajo 63,7%, seguido del 25,4% con riesgo
medio, sin embargo, existió un grupo que corresponden al riesgo alto y probable adicción
10,9% de consumo de alcohol. Mientras que en el consumo de drogas indicó un 29,4% de los
estudiantes se encuentra sin riesgo lo que es positivo, seguido de 60,1% tienen un riesgo leve,
un 4.0% riesgo moderado, 1.6% sustancial, 4,8% severo pero significativo por lo es necesario
realizar intervenciones para prevenir el consumo de drogas. Con respecto al rendimiento
académico la mayoría de estudiantes muestran un alto nivel de dedicación al estudio con
73,0%, en las aportaciones académicas tenemos 48,0 %, sin embargo, se identificó un
segmento de estudiantes con dificultades de mejorar en la organización de recursos
didácticos con 42,7%. Estos hallazgos subrayan la importancia de fomentar estrategias para
mejorar el bienestar de los estudiantes universitarios y prevenir el consumo de estas
sustancias, potenciando así el rendimiento académico. ALCOHOL, DROGAS, ESTUDIANTES UNIVERSITARIOS, RENDIMIENTO ACADÉMICO.
Description
Globally, there is significant concern about the adverse effects of harmful consumption of
alcohol and drugs, especially among young people, in whom an increase in consumption and
its impact on academic performance is evident. The objective was to determine the
relationship between substance use and academic performance. A quantitative, descriptive,
cross-sectional and correlational approach was used with a sample of 248 university students,
using specific instruments such as: RAU scale, AUDIT test and CAD-20 questionnaire to
measure alcohol and drug use. The results revealed that most of the students are at low risk
63.7%, followed by 25.4% with medium risk, however, there was a group that corresponds to
high risk and probable addiction 10.9% of alcohol consumption. While drug use indicated that
29.4% of the students are not at risk, which is positive, followed by 60.1% with a slight risk,
4.0% with moderate risk, 1.6% with substantial risk, and 4.8% with severe but significant risk,
which is why it is necessary to carry out interventions to prevent drug use. With respect to
academic performance most students show a high level of dedication to study with 73.0%, in
academic contributions we have 48.0%, however, a segment of students with difficulties to
improve in the organization of didactic resources was identified with 42.7%. These findings
underscore the importance of promoting strategies to improve the well-being of university
students and prevent the consumption of these substances, thus enhancing academic
performance. Globally, there is significant concern about the adverse effects of harmful consumption of
