description Introduction: Fatigue, a feeling integrated by physical, mental and neurosensorial symptoms of exhaustion, tiredness and lack of energy, can be a conditioning factor that increases the vulnerability of the working population to acquire harmful behaviors such as alcohol consumption, especially in heavy truck drivers. Objective: To identify the relationship between fatigue and alcohol consumption in heavy truck drivers in Nuevo Laredo, northern border of Mexico. Methodology: Cross-sectional study, with descriptive-correlational design, in a sample of 224 drivers selected by non-probabilistic sampling. Participants who were active at work and who drove fifth-wheel trucks were included, and those who did not complete the questionnaires were excluded. A Sociodemographic Data Questionnaire, the Subjective Symptoms of Fatigue Test and the AUDIT Test were applied. The confidentiality and anonymity of the participants was guaranteed. The data were processed using the SPSS statistical package version 24.0, by means of nonparametric inferential analysis. Results: Drivers with low fatigue 87.1% prevailed, and those with risky consumption, that is, 58.0%, which were followed by dependent consumption, that is, 23.2%. A statistically significant positive relationship was identified between driver fatigue and alcohol consumption with rs = .230, p = .001. Conclusions: The findings indicate that the greater the fatigue, the greater the alcohol consumption in heavy truck drivers, which highlights the need for the design and implementation of effective and timely nursing interventions that contribute to reduce health risk behaviors.

Introducción: La fatiga, sensación integrada por síntomas físicos, mentales y neurosensoriales de agotamiento, cansancio y falta de energía, puede ser un condicionante que incremente la vulnerabilidad en la población laboralmente activa para adquirir conductas nocivas como el consumo de alcohol, especialmente en conductores de carga pesada. Objetivo: Identificar la relación de la fatiga y el consumo de alcohol en conductores de carga pesada de Nuevo Laredo, frontera norte de México. Metodología: Estudio transversal, con diseño descriptivo-correlacional, en una muestra de 224 conductores seleccionados mediante muestreo no probabilístico. Se incluyeron participantes laboralmente activos y que condujeran camiones de quinta rueda, y se excluyeron a quienes no cumplieran con el llenado completo de los cuestionarios. Se aplicó una Cédula de Datos Sociodemográficos, la Prueba de Síntomas Subjetivos de Fatiga y la Prueba AUDIT. Se garantizó la confidencialidad y anonimato de los participantes. Los datos fueron procesados a través del paquete estadístico SPSS versión 24.0, mediante análisis inferencial no paramétrico. Resultados: Prevalecieron los conductores con fatiga baja 87.1 %, y quienes tenían un consumo riesgoso 58.0 %, y un consumo dependiente 23.2 %. Se identificó una relación positiva estadísticamente significativa entre fatiga y consumo de alcohol de los conductores con rs = .230, p = .001. Conclusiones: Los hallazgos indican que a mayor fatiga mayor consumo de alcohol en los conductores de carga pesada, lo cual pone en evidencia la necesidad del diseño e implementación de intervenciones eficaces y oportunas de enfermería que contribuyan a disminuir conductas de riesgo para la salud. Introdução:A fadiga, uma sensação integrada por sintomas físicos, mentais e neurosensoriais de exaustão, cansaço e falta de energia, pode ser um factor condicionante que aumenta a vulnerabilidade da população activa à aquisição de comportamentos nocivos, tais como o consumo de álcool, especialmente em condutores de veículos pesados.Objetivo: Identificar a relação entre o cansaço e o consumo de álcool em condutores pesados em Nuevo Laredo, na fronteira norte do México.Metodologia: Estudo transversal, com um desenho descritivo-correlacional, numa amostra de 224 condutores seleccionados por amostragem não probabilística.Foram incluídos os participantes que estavam activos no trabalho e que conduziam camiões de quinta-roda, e foram excluídos os que não preenchiam os questionários.Foi administrado um Questionário de Dados Sociodemográficos, o Teste dos Sintomas Subjectivos de Fadiga e o Teste de AUDIT. A confidencialidade e o anonimato dos participantes foram garantida. Os dados foram processados utilizando o pacote estatístico SPSS versão 24.0, por meio de análise inferencial não paramétrica. Resultados: Prevaleceram os condutores com baixa fadiga 87,1%, e os com consumo de risco, ou seja, 58,0%, a que se seguiu o consumo dependente, ou seja, 23,2%. Uma relação positiva estatisticamente significativa entre a fadiga do condutor e o consumo de álcool foi identificada com rs = .230, p = .001. Conclusões: Os resultados indicam que quanto maior é a fadiga, maior é o consumo de álcool nos motoristas de pesados, o que realça a necessidade de conceber e implementar intervenções de enfermagem eficazes e atempadas que contribuam para reduzir os comportamentos de risco para a saúde.
