Saúde mental e ansiedade em agentes comunitários que atuam em saúde da família em Uberlândia (MG, Brasil)

Esta pesquisa, realizada com agentes comunitarios de saude (ACS), objetivou: (1) avaliar a saude mental em ACS; (2) descrever os eventos vitais vivenciados no ultimo ano por ACS; (3) averiguar o nivel de ansiedade apresentado por ACS; (4) correlacionar saude mental, ansiedade e eventos vitais em ACS. Participaram 116 ACS. Instrumentos: questionario sociodemografico, Questionario de Saude Geral de Goldberg, Escala de Eventos Vitais, Inventario de Ansiedade Traco-Estado. A maioria dos ACS apresentou grau de ansiedade moderado e saude mental positiva e relatou ter vivenciado poucos eventos estressantes no ultimo ano, embora a maioria tenha tido problemas de saude. O fato de estarem presentes niveis de ansiedade, mesmo moderados, sugere uma provavel interferencia de caracteristicas especificas da profissao. Entretanto, o fato de a pessoa identificar subjetivamente a ansiedade e classifica-la em um determinado nivel pressupoe que esteja usando estrategias de controle, fato esse que auxilia a manter a saude mental.
