Resumo As características ambientais e o modo de organização do trabalho em centros especializados em saúde podem produzir situações de estresse e efeitos negativos sobre a saúde dos trabalhadores. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a saúde mental dos profissionais de saúde da rede especializada de Aracaju (Sergipe) e as situações de estresse ocupacional com base no modelo esforço-recompensa. Estudo transversal realizado em 2011 com 94 profissionais de saúde em atividade em dois centros de atendimento especializado. Foi utilizado questionário contendo variáveis sociodemográficas e econômicas, situação e ambiente de trabalho, avaliação de estresse ocupacional (usando o Effort-Reward Imbalance) e o Self Reporting Questionaire para mensuração dos transtornos mentais comuns. A prevalência de transtornos mentais comuns foi elevada (50,6%), sendo mais frequente em fonoaudiólogos, psicólogos, terapeutas ocupacionais e fisioterapeutas e entre aqueles que relataram estar insatisfeitos com a sua condição salarial e de trabalho. Todos os profissionais que referiram desequilíbrio entre esforços e recompensas no trabalho apresentaram transtornos mentais comuns. Em conclusão, foram identificadas características do trabalho desfavoráveis aos profissionais e ao desempenho das suas funções, além de elevadas prevalências de transtornos mentais comuns. Programas voltados à proteção, valorização e promoção à saúde dos trabalhadores devem ser implantados a fim de elevar a qualidade de vida no trabalho.
