RESUMO
Fundamento: Pessoas com transtornos mentais têm menor probabilidade de terem sua DCV e sua hipertensão diagnosticadas e possuem taxas de mortalidade duas ou três vezes maiores que a população em geral. Objetivos: estimar a prevalência de hipertensão através da autorreferência, do uso de medicamentos anti-hipertensivos e de valores de pressão arterial maiores ou iguais a 140 e 90 mmHg em população atendida em um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial na cidade de Salvador. Métodos: estudo transversal e exploratório realizado de agosto de 2019 a fevereiro de 2020, por meio da aplicação de questionário com informações sociodemográficas, avaliação clínica e anamnese. Resultados: foram avaliados 284 pacientes, 45,4% deles homens e a média de idade foi de 44,3 + 11,9 anos. A prevalência de hipertensão autorreferida e o uso de medicamentos anti-hipertensivos foram de 67 (23,6%) e 58 (20,4%), respectivamente. A frequência de valores pressóricos sistólico e diastólico acima de 140 x 90 mmHg foi de 47,8%. As frequências de obesidade e sobrepeso foram 40,8% e 31,6%, respectivamente. Foi encontrada prevalência de uso de pelo menos um antipsicótico de 254 (89,4%) e de polifarmácia de 103 (36,3%) pacientes. Conclusões: a prevalência de hipertensão arterial e o uso de medicamentos anti-hipertensivos em nossa população foi semelhante à população em geral. Também foram identificados fatores que podem aumentar o risco de desenvolver DCV, como a alta taxa de uso de medicamentos antipsicóticos e as prevalências de polifarmácia, obesidade e sobrepeso (AU).
Background: People with mental disorders are less likely to have their CVD and hypertension diagnosed and have mortality rates two or three times higher than the general population. Objectives: to estimate the prevalence of hypertension through self- referral, the use of antihypertensive drugs and blood pressure values greater than or equal to 140 and 90 mmHg in a population attended at a Psychosocial Care Center in the city of Salvador. Methods: cross-sectional and exploratory study conducted from August 2019 to February 2020, through the application of a questionnaire with sociodemographic information, clinical evaluation and anamnesis. Results: 284 patients were evaluated, 45.4% of them men and the mean age was 44.3 + 11.9 years. The prevalence of self-reported hypertension and the use of antihypertensive drugs were 67 (23.6%) and 58 (20.4%), respectively. The frequency of systolic and diastolic blood pressure values above 140 x 90 mmHg was 47.8%. The frequencies of obesity and overweight were 40.8% and 31.6%, respectively. A prevalence of use of at least one antipsychotic was found in 254 (89.4%) and polypharmacy of 103 (36.3%) patients. Conclusions: the prevalence of hypertension and the use of antihypertensive drugs in our population was similar to the general population. Factors that may increase the risk of developing CVD have also been identified, such as the high rate of use of antipsychotic drugs and the prevalence of polypharmacy, obesity and overweight (AU).

BACKGROUND: Labor activities are demanding for workers and can induce occupational stress. Primary health care (PHC) workers have faced problems that can lead to the development of stress and abdominal obesity. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of abdominal adiposity among primary health care physicians in the metropolitan mesoregion of Salvador, Bahia. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study conducted with physicians from the family health units (FHUs) of the metropolitan mesoregion of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The number of FHUs corresponded to 41 teams (52 physicians). Anamnesis was performed and a questionnaire was applied. The clinical examination consisted of measuring waist circumference (WC), blood pressure levels (BP), and body mass index (BMI), as well as examining for acanthosis nigricans. Blood samples were collected for biochemical dosages. The data obtained were analyzed by SPSS version 22.0. RESULTS: The sample included 41 physicians (response rate: 78.8%), of which 18 were women (44.0%). The percentage of overweight participants represented by BMI was 31.7%. The hypertriglyceridemia prevalence was 29.2%. HDL-c was low in 48.7% of the participants. The waist circumference measurement revealed a prevalence of abdominal adiposity of 38.8% (women) and 34.8% (men). CONCLUSIONS: Medical professionals in PHC are more susceptible to having higher abdominal adiposity, especially female physicians.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with Burnout Syndrome (BS) in Primary Health Care (PHC) nursing professionals from the state of Bahia, Brazil. A multicentre, cross-sectional population-based study was conducted in a cluster sample among 1125 PHC Nursing professionals during the years 2017 and 2018. We used a questionnaire that included sociodemographic, labor and lifestyle variables and the Maslach Burnout Inventory scale to identify BS. The associations were evaluated using a robust Poisson regression with the hierarchical selection of the independent variables. The prevalence of BS was 18.3% and the associated factors were ethnicity (prevalence ratio (PR) = 0.62, confidence interval (CI) 95% = 0.47-0.83), residence (PR = 2.35, CI 95% = 1.79-3.09), economic situation (PR = 1.40, CI 95% = 1.06-1.86), satisfaction with current occupation (PR = 1.75, CI 95% = 1.31-2.33), (PR = 1.60, CI 95% = 1.23-2.08), rest (PR = 1.83, 95% CI = 1.41-2.37), technical resources and equipment (PR = 1.37, CI 95% = 1.06-1.77), night shift (PR = 1.49, CI 95% = 1.14-1.96), physical activity practice (PR = 1.72; CI 95% = 1.28-2.31), smoking (PR = 1.82, CI 95% = 1.35-2.45), and satisfaction with physical form (PR = 1.34, CI 95% = 1.01-179). Strategies are needed to prevent BS, with an emphasis on implementing worker health programs in the context of PHC.
