Abstract

The Common Mental Disorders (CMD) have high prevalence in general populations and workers, with individual consequences and social implications. We sought to develop na epidemiological study of Cross Section, to identify a possible association between psychosocial aspects of work measured by the JCQ and the prevalence of Common Mental Disorders (CMD) in nursing staff at a specialist hospital in Feira de Santana, Bahia. Data collection was performed using selfadministered questionnaire, unidentified, especially items related to the demand-control (JCQ) and t; TMC (Self Reporting Questionnaire, SRQ20). The data were processed and analyzed using SPSS 9.0 Situation of Epidemiological Analysis and Statistics (SSAEE) Department of Health, State University of Feira de Santana (LIS / DSAU / UEFS). The prevalence of TMC in the professionals surveyed was 14.6%. The demand-control model the situation of high strain (low control and high demand) had the highest prevalence (24.0%). The psychosocial dimensions of work were relevant in the occurrence of CMD in this population and confirmed the main prediction of the demand-control model: that the highly demanding work concentrates the greatest risks to the health of workers. The nurses reported workload and low pay. Health complaints were most frequently related to body posture and mental health. The prevalence of problem drinkers (CAGE) in the professionals studied was 3.6%. Working conditions and health point to the need for changesin the organization of nursing work in the hospital.
