Abstract [sv]

Covid-19 studier har visat att ungdomars mentala hälsa har försämrats under covid-19 pandemin. Ungdomsåren kan vara stressfyllda och ungdomar går igenom, kroppsliga, sociala och mentala förändringar som kan leda till avvikande beteende som substansanvändning. Under ungdomsåren börjar en individualiseringsprocess som gör att ungdomen drar sig från föräldrar och detta kan påverka föräldra-barn relationen. Studiens syfte är att visa om det finns en korrelation mellan familjerelation (närhet, sammansvetsad familj och familjekonflikt) och substansanvändning under covid-19 pandemin. Det genomfördes en enkätundersökning som distribuerades via sociala medier. Deltagarna var mellan 15–19 år, 76 procent var elever i årskurs 2–3 i gymnasiet och 24 procent elever i årskurs 9 och första året i gymnasiet. Det genomfördes två olika analyser, en korrelation och en multipel linjär regression. Resultatet visar att närhet, sammansvetsad familj korrelerar negativt och familjekonflikt korrelerar positivt med substansanvändning. I regressionen kan man se att det är familjefaktorn konflikt som predicerar substansanvändning. Det man kan se är att det finns koppling mellan familjerelationer och substansanvändning under covid-19 pandemin som går att koppla till mer trygga familjeförhållanden. Forskning inom detta område har inte hittats vilket innebär att denna studie kan bidra med bidrar med kunskap om familjeförhållande under covid-19 och möjlig kunskap om annan liknande samhällelig kris, exempelvis annan pandemi eller ekonomisk kris. 

Abstract [en]

Covid-19 research has shown that the mental health in youth has declined during the covid-19 pandemic. The adolescent years could be stressful and there are bodily, social and mental changes that can lead to deviant behavior. There is also an individualization process and the child starts pulling away from the parents and this causes changes in the parent-child relationship. The purpose of the study is to show if there is a correlation between family relationship (closeness, family cohesion and family conflict) and substance use during the covid-19 pandemic. A survey was used and distributed over social media. There were in total 1767 participants in the study and 76 percent were in 2-3 year of high school and 24 percent were in 9th grade and first year of high school. The data was analyzed with SPSS, one Pearson’s correlation analysis was performed to see if there is a correlation between family relation and substance use and one multiple linear regression analysis was performed to see which family trait predicted substance use. The result shows that closeness, family cohesion negatively and family conflict correlates with substance use and the regression analysis shows that family factor conflict predicts substance use. As the result shows there is a correlation between family traits and substance use that is possible to connect to safer family environments. Research in this area has not been encountered so that means this study contributes to the knowledge about family relationships during covid-19 and possible knowledge about another similar societal crisis, such as another pandemic or an economic crisis.
