Abstract:

Objective: To evaluate interrelationships of factors associated with depressive symptoms (SD) in teachers, considering dissatisfaction with teaching work as a possible mediator. Methodology: Cross-sectional study using data700 teachers of the public education network of a Brazilian municipality were used. The outcome of interest was SD, as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) score. Direct and indirect interrelations between the outcome and Work, Age, Income, Lifestyle and Adiposity were analyzed. These variables comprised a operating model tested by means of modeling of structural equations. Results: Older age (β=0.12) and greater dissatisfaction with work (β=0.12) were directly associated with SD. On the other hand, a more favorable lifestyle (β=-0.60) and adiposity (β=-0.10) were associated with a lower occurrence of SD. Lifestyle (β = -0.60) and adiposity (β = -0.10) had a direct negative effect on SD. The variables lifestyle (β = -0.0) and adiposity (β = -0.02) also had negative indirect effects on SD, mediated by job dissatisfaction. Conclusion: The structural equation model tested identified interrelationships that influence SD. Dissatisfaction with teaching work was associated with SD and mediated the relationship of other factors on such symptoms.
