0319/2022 - Transtornos Mentais Comuns em quilombolas rurais do Norte de Minas Gerais Common Mental Disorders in rural quilombolas in the North of Minas Gerais
O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar a prevalência e fatores associados aos Transtornos Mentais Comuns (TMC) em quilombolas residentes em comunidades rurais localizadas no Norte de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Trata-se de estudo transversal realizado em 2019 a partir de entrevistas estruturadas e aplicação do Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20). Foi conduzida regressão logística binária. A prevalência de TMC foi de 38,7%. Houve maior chance de TMC entre quilombolas do sexo feminino (OR:2,69; IC95%2,00-3,62), com 1 a 8 anos de estudo (OR:1,70; IC95%1,15-2,51), renda familiar entre 1 a 1,5 salários mínimos (OR:2,51; IC95%1,60-3,94); que sofreram discriminação em serviços de saúde (OR:2,44; IC95%1,44-4,13); com autorrelato de doença pulmonar (OR:2,10; IC95%1,25-3,54), doença cardíaca (OR:1,58; IC95%1,01-2,50) e insuficiência renal crônica (OR:1,97; IC95%1,08-3,94), e com autopercepção de saúde negativa (OR:3,07; IC95%2,31-4,07). A alta prevalência de TMC observada neste estudo demonstra a necessidade de políticas de atenção à saúde mental voltadas para as populações vulnerabilizadas, como as comunidades quilombolas, a fim de mitigar o sofrimento mental e favorecer uma atenção profissional contextualizada com as singularidades das condições de vida e saúde desse grupo populacional.

Abstract:
The objective of this article is to evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with Common Mental Disorders (CMD) in quilombolas living in rural communities located in the North of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study carried out in 2019 based on structured interviews and application of the Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20). Binary logistic regression was conducted. The prevalence of CMD was 38.7%. There was a greater chance of CMD among female quilombolas (OR: 2.69; 95%CI 2.00-3.62), with 1 to 8 years of study (OR: 1.70; 95%CI 1.15-2, 51), family income between 1 and 1,5 times the minimum wages (OR: 2.51; 95%CI 1.60-3.94); who suffered discrimination in health services (OR:2.44; 95%CI1.44-4.13); with self-reported lung disease (OR:2.10; 95%CI1.25-3.54), heart disease (OR:1.58;95%CI1.01-2.50) and chronic renal failure (OR:1 .97; 95%CI1.08-3.94), and with negative self-perception of health (OR:3.07; 95%CI2.31-4.07). The high prevalence of CMD observed in this study demonstrates the need for mental health care policies aimed at vulnerable populations, such as quilombola communities, in order to mitigate mental suffering and favor professional care contextualized with the singularities of living conditions and health of this population group.
