Prevalence of depressive and/or anxious symptoms in people with systemic arterial hypertension and / or diabetes mellitus. Revista Portuguesa de Enfermagem de Saúde Mental [online]. 2018, n.20, pp.43-50. ISSN 1647-2160. https://doi.org/10.19131/rpesm.0225.
BACKGROUND: Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH) and Diabetes Mellitus (DM) have been identified as conditions that favor the development of emotional disorders. AIM: To investigate the prevalence of depressive and/or anxious symptoms (SDA) in people with SAH and/or DM enrolled in a Family Health Strategy in the center-west of Brazil. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional and quantitative study. It was studied 106 adults with SAH / DM to whom two instruments were applied: (1) Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview, for evaluation of SDA; (2) questionnaire on socioeconomic, anthropometric, clinical data and drug compliance, for characterization of the sample. RESULTS: The main findings indicated a prevalence of 27.4% (95%CI 19.1-36.8, n = 29) of SDA in the total sample. In addition, such symptoms were more prevalent in the following strata of this population: women (35.4%; 95%CI 23.7-48.6, n = 22); people with more advanced age (28.5%; 95%CI 14.6 - 46.3; n = 10); people without partners (36.3%; 95%CI 20.4 - 54.8, n = 12); people who studied from zero to eight years (27.8%; 95%CI 18.3 - 39.0, n = 22). CONCLUSION: The results were compatible with other studies that indicated a high prevalence of SDA in people with SAH and/or DM. These data reinforce that mental health care should be implemented already in the primary care of this population.
