- Abstract
Objective: To identify the risk of Common Mental Disorder in elderly people with Chronic Non-communicable Diseases and identify its relationship with sociodemographic characteristics. Methods: Cross-sectional, exploratory and descriptive study with quantitative approach, developed in the Family Health Strategy of the Municipality of São Vicente/RN, with a sample of 99 elderly people. The collection took place in September and October 2018 through a structured interview at the participants' homesusingthe Self-Reporting Questionnaire-20. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed. Results: It was found that 28.28% of the elderly had high risk for Common Mental Disorder and most (71.72%) had low risk. There was no significant association of this risk with Chronic Non- communicable Diseases and sociodemographic characteristics. Conclusion: Although no statistical association was identified, the presence of psychological distress in elderly people with chronic diseases is a source of concern, considering the possible impairment of their quality of life. Thus, the study stresses the importance of developing strategies for detection and monitoring of elderly people with Common Mental Disorder in this context of health care.
