- Abstract
Objective: to estimate the prevalence of factors associated with mental disorders present in users of a psychosocial care center. Method: retrospective documentary study with a quantitative approach. Data were collected from 824 patient records between May and July 2019. A descriptive analysis was performed and the data were presented in the form of absolute and relative frequency, using tabulation, considering p <0.05. Results: there was a greater prevalence of mood disorders in 48.1% of users, stress-related neurotic disorders and somatoform disorders in 18.1%. The sex variable was associated with the diagnosis of mental disorder (p <0.001), and patients under the age of 20 years had a greater prevalence of child and adolescent disorders (35.7%) and mood disorders (32.6%) compared to the other age groups analyzed. Retirees had a higher prevalence of mood disorders (50.7%) and somatoform disorders, where as workers had a higher prevalence (65.7%) of mood disorders. Conclusion: this study will contribute to the planning of actions and permanent education by managers, together with mental health workers, in order to develop different strategies considering differences between sex, age and occupation in relation to the various types of mental disorders verified in the participants of this research.
