0511/2018 - Epidemiologia dos Transtornos Mentais Comuns entre mulheres na zona rural de Rio Grande, RS. Epidemiology of Common Mental Disorders in rural women in the municipality of Rio Grande, RS.
Este estudo tem por objetivo descrever a prevalência e os fatores associados aos transtornos mentais comuns em mulheres de 18-49 anos, residentes da zona rural do município de Rio Grande-RS. Foi realizado um estudo transversal com a coleta de dados realizada no ano de 2017. Foi utilizado um processo de amostragem sistemático dos domicílios da área rural do município. Para o rastreamento dos transtornos mentais comuns utilizou-se o General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12). Foi utilizada a regressão de Poisson bruta e ajustada para estimar as razões de prevalências (RP) e os respectivos intervalos de confiança de 95%. A prevalência geral de Transtornos Mentais Comuns foi de 36,4% (IC95%: 33,4% - 39,3%), sendo mais comum entre as mulheres com menor escolaridade, que sofreram aborto e tabagistas. Ao quantificar a ocorrência e os fatores associados aos transtornos mentais comuns numa população de mulheres de uma área rural, o presente estudo traz uma contribuição científica original sobre a carga deste importante desfecho numa população pouco estudada em inquéritos epidemiológicos. Os resultados podem contribuir com os serviços de saúde através da identificação das mulheres mais suscetíveis a este desfecho, melhorando deste modo a adequação dos serviços oferecidos às necessidades em saúde de moradores de áreas rurais.

Abstract:
This study aims to describe the prevalence and the factors associated to common mental disorders in women aged 18 to 49, residents in the rural zone of the municipality of Rio Grande-RS. A transversal study was carried out with the data collecting performed in 2017. It was utilized a systematic sample process of the residences of the rural area of the municipality. The General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12) was used to track common mental disorders. Crude and adjusted Poisson regression was used to estimate the prevalence ratios (PR) and respective confidence intervals of 95%. The overall prevalence of Common Mental Disorders was 36.4% (IC 95%: 33.4% - 39.3%), being more common among women with lower levels of education, who suffered abortion and smokers. In quantifying the occurrence and factors associated with common mental disorders in a population of women in a rural area, the present study provides an original scientific contribution on the burden of this important outcome in a population that has not been studied in epidemiological surveys. The results can contribute to the health services by identifying the most susceptible women to this outcome, thus, improving the adequacy of the services offered to the health needs of rural residents.
