O objetivo do estudo é identificar a ocorrência de estresse relacionado ao trabalho e associá-lo a aspectos sociodemográficos e de saúde em quilombolas residentes em comunidades rurais no norte de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Trata-se de estudo transversal realizado em 2019 a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas e aplicado a Job Stress Scale (JSS). A análise foi realizada pela estatística descritiva, análise univariada e multivariada, pela regressão logística multinomial. Identificou-se associação positiva do trabalho de alto desgaste com idade inferior a 40 anos (OR: 2,32; IC95% 1,12-4,80), empregado rural ou agricultor (OR: 2,36; IC95% 1,07-5,18) e baixo apoio social (OR:2,5; IC 1,30 -5,09). Também foi observada associação significativa em indivíduos com resultado positivo para transtornos mentais comuns e trabalho ativo (OR: 2,96; IC95% 1,34-6,97). A relação entre o estresse e ocorrência de transtornos mentais comuns em atividades de alto desgaste e trabalho ativo, evidencia a necessidade de integração da Política Nacional de Saúde do Trabalhador, Rede de Atenção Psicossocial e instituições de qualificação profissional, identificando e intervindo em necessidades e problemas de saúde.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to identify the occurrence of work-related stress and associate it with sociodemographic and health aspects in quilombolas living in rural communities in the north of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study carried out in 2019 using semi-structured interviews and applying the Job Stress Scale (JSS). The analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics, univariate and multivariate analysis, using multinomial logistic regression. A positive association was identified between high-strain work and being under 40 years of age (OR: 2.32; 95% CI: 1.12-4.80), working as a rural or agricultural employee (OR: 2.36; 95% CI: 1.07-5.18), and low social support (OR: 2.5; 95% CI: 1.30-5.09). A significant association was also observed among individuals who tested positive for common mental disorders and active work. (OR: 2.96; 95% CI: 1.34-6.97). The relationship between stress and the occurrence of common mental disorders in high-burden activities and active work highlights the need for the integration of the National Workers' Health Policy, the Psychosocial Care Network, and professional training institutions, identifying and addressing needs and health issues.
