- Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the occurrence of common mental disorders in rural workers who use pesticides and connect them with sociodemographic and clinical data. Method: A cross-sectional, descriptive, analytical study of 361 rural workers from a municipality in northwestern Rio Grande do Sul. Information was collected through an identification form, sociodemographic data, clinical data, and the Multidimensional Scale SQR-20 Self-Reporting Questionnaire. All ethical aspects of research involving human beings have been followed. The project was approved by a research ethics committee (CAAE 51397615.4.0000.5322). Data analysis will be performed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Expected results: Analysis of the occurrence of mental disorders in participants, the planning of healthcare precautions, and the impact of pesticides on the physical and mental health of rural workers. As investigated by a health care professional, the results obtained may contribute to reflections, discussions, and the implementation of actions with a positive impact on the health and quality of life of these individuals.
