“…The evaluation of mental disorders in health workers has evidenced their occurrence in different contexts: a registering of mental disorders in 14% of the nurses from two teaching hospitals in Sydney, Australia (Perry, Lamont, Brunero, Gallagher, and Duffield, 2015); 42% of work-related mental disorders, 29% depression, and 24% anxiety, in Dutch hospital doctors (Ruitenburg, Frings-Dresen, and Sluiter, 2012). In Brazil, a high prevalence of CMD in health workers is observed, ranging in 10.3% in anesthesiologists in Belo Horizonte, MG (Neves and Pinheiro, 2012) to 48.6% in Community Health Agents of Pelotas, RS (Knuth et al 2015). A CMD prevalence of 21% among healthcare workers in the Primary Care in Salvador (BA) (Oliveira and Araújo, 2018) and of 25% among female health workers in the Primary Care of Feira de Santana (BA) (Carvalho, Araujo, and Bernardes, 2016) is also worth noting.…”

Objective: To analyze the factors associated with common mental disorders (CMD) in primary care female nursing professionals. Methods: We performed exploratory cross-sectional study, using a structured questionnaire, applied to 451 primary care female nursing professionals from five municipalities of Bahia, Brazil, in a randomly selected sample. The outcome variable (CMD) was evaluated by SRQ-20. To analyze the factors associated with the prevalence of CMD, logistic regression analysis was used in blocks. Results: The prevalence of CMD was 16.2% and the exposure factors were professional category (PR 0.56, CI 0.34-0.90, p = .01), having a workload of more than 60 h per week (

“…Five were presented only as conference abstracts and two were letters. The topics covered were burnout (n = 8) [43–50]; depression (n = 2) [51, 52]; occupational stress (n = 3) [53–55]; substance abuse (n = 1) [51]; and well‐being (n = 1) [56]. The studies that gave a prevalence for burnout in samples of anaesthetists reported proportions of 44% [44] to 78% [50].…”

Suicide in anaesthetists: a systematic review

et al. 2021

Summary Evidence suggests that healthcare professionals are at an increased risk of dying by suicide, with anaesthetists at particularly high risk. However, much of the data on which this is based are historical. With a focus on the epidemiology and methods used, we conducted a systematic review of evidence regarding suicide and suicidal behaviour among anaesthetists to provide a more contemporary summary. The systematic review process was adapted from a previous similar study in veterinary surgeons and was consistent with recommended guidance. We identified 54 articles published in or after 1990 that had anaesthetist‐specific data and met the inclusion criteria. Seven of these reported epidemiological data, of which four were published after 2000. Although none of the more recent studies reported standardised mortality rates specific to suicide in anaesthetists, the proportion of anaesthetists dying by suicide was increased with respect to comparator groups, which is consistent with previous findings. Eleven studies that included information on suicidal behaviour reported suicidal ideation in 3.2–25% of individuals (six studies) and suicide attempts in 0.5–2% (four studies). Studies reporting methods of suicide highlighted the use of anaesthetic drugs, particularly propofol, supporting the suggestion that the increased risk of suicide in anaesthetists may be related to the availability of the means. We discuss our findings in relation to other recently published data and guidance concerning mental health problems in anaesthetists.

“…In these cases, the study was included in more than one category of work and consequently, for some variables (professional category and sample size), the frequency is higher than the number of included studies (n = 89). The included studies described common mental disorders in 26 work categories: teachers and professors (n = 21) [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] , nursing staff (n = 20) 7,8,19,20,28,[44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58] , physicians (n=9) 7,19,21,28,46,[59]…”

“…Due to the detrimental effects of work conditions on mental health, in Brazil a large number of studies have been conducted aiming to analyze the prevalence and factors associated with common mental disorders among a variety of occupational groups. In general, data indicate high variations in prevalence, since some studies indicate prevalences of common mental disorders exceeding 50% [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] while others report prevalences lower than 15% [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] . To our knowledge, no systematic reviews have been conducted aiming to describe the prevalence of common mental disorders among Brazilian workers.…”

The aim of the present study was to summarize the prevalence of common mental disorders (CMD) among Brazilian workers through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Searches were conducted in SciELO, LILACS, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Articles were included if they had; an observational design, a sample of Brazilian workers, used a validated instrument and cut-off to assess CMD, and provided the prevalence value. A random-effect meta-analysis using professional categories as subgroups and a meta-regression were conducted. In total, 89 studies were included, with a total of 56,278 workers from 26 professional categories. The overall pooled prevalence of CMD was 0.30 (95%CI: 0.27-0.34), varying from 0.07 to 0.58. Professional categories that presented higher prevalences of CMD were: Prostitutes 0.58 (95%CI: 0.51-0.65), Social Educators 0.54 (95%CI: 0.50-0.59), Banking Workers 0.45 (95%CI: 0.44-0.47), Ragpickers 0.45 (95%CI: 0.40-0.49), and Teachers 0.40 (95%CI: 0.32-0.48). No other variable in addition to profession was associated with prevalence of CMD in the meta-regression analysis. Workers from the most affected professional categories should be monitored to prevent social, occupational, and health impairment from CMD.

Epidemiological and Occupational Profile of Anesthesiologists Practicing in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais – Brazil, in 2010

Abstract: The population studied indicates that the anesthesiologist is a professional rather overloaded, which corroborates trends seen in the medical field. Major attention should be given to these professionals who live surrounded by harmful occupational hazards.
