ABSTRACT
Objective: To identify the associations among quality of life (QoL), social determinants and psychological distress in primary care in two cities in Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional study with 1,466 patients from 2009 to 2010. The statistical analysis used the t-test to compare the variables of interest to the study. Results: The prevalence of Common Mental Disorders (CMD3), severe forms of Common Mental Disorders (CMD5), anxiety and depression were 20.5%, 32%, 37% and 25.1% respectively. Thes presence of psychological distress is associated with worse QoL among the patients studied, especially those older than 40 years of age. In cases of CMD3, those with higher income and educational levels presented higher QoL in the psychical and psychological domains. For the cases of probable anxiety, those with higher educational levels presented lower scores on the physical and social relationship scores. Conclusion: Psychological distress can be associated with a worse QoL among those studied and can be influenced by socioeconomic conditions. Therefore, it is important to structure patient-centered help, which should also include patients’ social contexts. .
RESUMO
Objetivo: Identificar as associações entre qualidade de vida (QV), determinantes sociais e sofrimento psíquico na Atenção Primária (AP) em dois municípios do Brasil. Métodos: Estudo transversal com 1.466 pacientes atendidos na AP de São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro nos anos de 2009 e 2010. Resultados: As prevalências de Transtorno Mental Comum (TMC-3), Transtorno Mental Comum de intensidade grave (TMC-5), casos sugestivos de ansiedade e de depressão foram de 20,5%, 32%, 37% e 25,1%, respectivamente. Observou-se a associação entre as variáveis socioeconômicas e a presença de sofrimento psíquico, em especial para aqueles com idade superior a 40 anos. Nos casos de TMC-3, aqueles com maior renda e nível educacional apresentaram maiores escores nos domínios físico e psicológico. Para os casos sugestivos de ansiedade, maior nível educacional apresentou menores escores nos domínios físico e relações sociais. Conclusão: Entre os pesquisados, o sofrimento psíquico associou-se a menores escores de qualidade de vida, podendo ser influenciado pelas condições socioeconômicas. Dessa forma, é importante estruturar uma assistência centrada no paciente, que também deve incluir o contexto social dos pacientes. .
