Abstract
A descriptive, longitudinal, field and correlational investigation was carried out in the working population of a Venezuelan company. In order to prevent, through psychosocial intervention, negative effects generated by work stress and alcohol consumption abuse. The sample consisted of 127 workers from the operational area, who were given the questionnaire from the Universidad Astral de Chile for work stress and the AUDIT test. 29 workers with occupational stress and 43 with alcohol consumption abuse were identified, from which, only 11 exhibited both variables simultaneously, a sine qua non condition to perform the intervention. Therefore, the CoPsoQ 21 questionnaire was applied and the intervention was performed using expository methods as well as group and individual discussion with the relevant monitoring and observation. Once the intervention was completed, the corresponding impact on the workers was evaluated. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics. In conclusion, the level of work stress was reduced as the dimensions of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization continued at the low level and the personal achievement dimension was at the middle level. Regarding alcohol abuse, there was a reduction in the consumption of risk and harmful consumption.
