          Abstract

          Resumo Os agentes comunitários de saúde são imprescindíveis e considerados atores importantes para a organização do Sistema Único de Saúde. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a prevalência de sintomas de depressão relacionada aos fatores ocupacionais, sociodemográficos e de estilo de vida dos agentes. Realizou-se um estudo transversal com 400 agentes comunitários, por meio de entrevistas individuais em unidades básicas de saúde de um município situado em Minas Gerais, entre 2015 e 2017. A variável dependente foi a prevalência de sintomas de depressão (Patient Health Questionnaire), e as variáveis independentes foram estresse psicossocial no trabalho (modelo demanda-controle); apoio social; perfil socioeconômico e demográfico; autopercepção de saúde; atividade física; características e condições de trabalho; capacidade para o trabalho e qualidade de vida. A prevalência de sintomas depressivos entre os agentes foi de 20,6%. Na análise multivariada, a prevalência de depressão se associou à baixa ou moderada capacidade para o trabalho, ao baixo apoio social, às classes econômicas C, D e E e aos domínios físico e psicológico da qualidade de vida. Sugere-se a criação de espaços para discussão sobre saúde mental relacionada com o trabalho.

La prevalencia de síntomas depresivos entre los agentes fue de 20,6%. En el análisis multivariado, la prevalencia de depresión estuvo asociada a baja o moderada capacidad para el trabajo, a bajo apoyo social, a los tres estratos de la clase económica baja, y a los dominios físico y psicológico de la calidad de vida. Sugerimos la creación de espacios para la discusión sobre salud mental relacionada al trabajo.

          Abstract Community health workers are indispensable, and they are considered important actors in the organization of the Unified Health System. The present study had the goal of evaluating the prevalence of symptoms of depression related to the occupational, sociodemographic and lifestyle factors of the workers. We performed a cross-sectional study with 400 community health workers through individual interviews in basic health units of a municipality of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, between 2015 and 2017. The dependent variable was the prevalence of symptoms of depression (Patient Health Questionnaire), and the independent variables were psychosocial stress at work (demand-control model); social support; socioeconomic and demographic profile; self-perception of health; physical activity; labor characteristics and conditions; ability to work; and quality of life. The prevalence of symptoms of depression among the workers was of 20.6%. In the multivariate analysis, the prevalence of depression was associated with low or moderate ability to work, low social support, the upper, middle and lower strata of the lower class, and to the physical and psychological domains of quality of life. We suggest the creation of spaces to discuss mental health related to work.

          Job strain, work place social support, and cardiovascular disease: a cross-sectional study of a random sample of the Swedish working population.

          This cross-sectional study investigates the relationship between the psychosocial work environment and cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevalence in a randomly selected, representative sample of 13,779 Swedish male and female workers. It was found that self-reported psychological job demands, work control, and co-worker social support combined greater then multiplicatively in relation to CVD prevalence. An age-adjusted prevalence ratio (PR) of 2.17 (95% CI-1.32, 3.56) was observed among workers with high demands, low control, and low social support compared to a low demand, high control, and high social support reference group. PRs of approximately 2.00 were observed in this group after consecutively controlling for the effects of age together with 11 other potential confounding factors. The magnitude of the age-adjusted PRs was greatest for blue collar males. Due to the cross-sectional nature of the study design, causal inferences cannot be made. The limitations of design and measurement are discussed in the context of the methodological weaknesses of the work stress field.

            Study of the discriminative validity of the PHQ-9 and PHQ-2 in a sample of Brazilian women in the context of primary health care.

            This study aimed to assess the discriminative validity of the Brazilian version of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and of its reduced version (PHQ-2). The sample consisted of 177 women (60 cases of depression and 117 noncases). The SCID-IV was used as the gold standard. For the PHQ-9, a cutoff score equal to or higher than 10 proved to be the most adequate for the screening of depression, whereas the best cutoff score for the PHQ-2 was found to lie between 3 and 4. The systematic use of these instruments in nursing and in the context of primary health care could favor the early detection of depression.
