Alcohol which, at first, is part of great ceremonies, parties, get-togethers, is now becoming an important issue, for the number of women who consume alcoholic beverages has increased, and consequently the number of pregnant women, considering that not only the mother's body but also the one of the child that is being formed, are under metabolic changes, and inevitably will be a target for acquired alcohol alterations (intake). During the human development, it is important to take into consideration the pregnancy stage and depending on it, the individual becomes susceptible to teratogenic agents. This paper aims at providing some contribution related to this social issue bringing knowledge on the action of alcohol on the fetus alterations, from the slightest (irritability, lack of attention, mobility deficiency) until Fetal Alcoholic Syndrome (F.A.S.) and also tries to analyse the extent of people knowledge on the consequences of alcohol effects over pregnant women bodies and the possible changes that may occur with the fetus. In order to make this study possible, interviews have been made by the use of forms with a population sample of about 100 people living in the northern, western, southern and interior low land regions. We have also visited some public and private institutions (23) on those regions, interviewing nurses in paediatric wards, aiming at identifying the difficulties found related to the diagnosis and management towards F.A.S.
酒精最初是盛大仪式、派对和聚会的一部分，如今却成为了一个重要问题，因为饮用酒精饮料的女性数量有所增加，进而导致孕妇数量增多。考虑到不仅母亲的身体，而且正在发育的胎儿的身体都处于代谢变化之中，不可避免地会成为酒精后天影响（摄入）的目标。在人类发育过程中，考虑怀孕阶段很重要，个体也会因此易受致畸剂影响。本文旨在为这一社会问题提供一些贡献，介绍酒精对胎儿影响的相关知识，从最轻微的影响（易怒、注意力不集中、活动能力不足）到胎儿酒精综合征（F.A.S.），并试图分析人们对酒精对孕妇身体影响的后果以及胎儿可能发生的变化的了解程度。为了开展这项研究，我们通过填写表格的方式对居住在北部、西部、南部和内陆低地地区的约100人的样本进行了访谈。我们还走访了这些地区的一些公共和私立机构（23家），采访了儿科病房的护士，旨在确定在胎儿酒精综合征的诊断和管理方面遇到的困难。
