Abstract(s)
Introdução: A depressão é uma patologia multifatorial. Segundo a OMS, a depressão foi a quarta maior causa de incapacidade, e estima-se que, até 2020, a depressão passará para o segundo lugar da lista, logo a seguir às doenças cardíacas, a principal causa a nível mundial de incapacidade. Portugal é o país da Europa com maior predomínio de doenças mentais. De acordo com o Plano Nacional de Saúde 2000-2010, a depressão representava um problema primordial de saúde pública. O objetivo geral deste estudo é analisar e descrever o consumo e o conhecimento de antidepressivos, e perceber o que influencia estas duas variáveis.
Metodologia: Este trabalho é um estudo analítico observacional transversal. A recolha dos dados foi realizada entre Outubro e Novembro de 2013, com recurso a um questionário. O tratamento dos dados, foi executado com o auxílio do software estatístico Statistic Package for Social Science (SPSS) na versão 19.0 e Microsoft Excel. A análise inferencial foi feita através do teste Qui- Quadrado. O nível de significância adotado foi de p≤0,05.
Resultados: Dos inquiridos, 273 (79%) apresentaram um conhecimento insuficiente e 133 (38,7%) afirmam já ter consumido antidepressivos, existindo uma relação estatisticamente significativa entre o sexo e consumo sendo que as mulheres consomem mais face aos homens. Em 62% dos casos (82 consumidores) esta classe de medicamentos foi prescrita por médicos de família.
Conclusão: Este estudo revelou que existe um grande contraste de importâncias, ou seja, sendo a depressão uma das principais causas de incapacidade nos países desenvolvidos não é suficiente para protagonizar os planos de prevenção em saúde. É necessário planos exequíveis em Portugal para a prevenção e monotorização de doenças mentais, uma vez que é o país europeu com maior prevalência de doenças mentais. É necessário, a elaboração de novas investigações com intervenções comunitárias, verificando a estratégia mais eficaz para ser aplicada num futuro próximo.
Introduction: Depression is a multifactorial disease. According to the OMS, depression was the fourth leading cause of disability, and it is estimated that by 2020, depression will go to second place on the list, just behind the heart disease, the leading cause of disability worldwide. Portugal is the European Country with the highest prevalence of mental disease in the population. According to the National Health Plan 2000-2010, depression represents a major public health problem. The aim of this study is to analyse and describe the use of antidepressants as well as the knowledge about it, to understand the factors that influence these two topics. Methodology: This study is an observational cross-sectional analytical study.The data collection was carried out between October and November 2013, using a questionnaire. The Data analysis was performed in the statistical software Statistic Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 17.0 and also using Microsoft Excel. The inferential analyze was performed using the Chi-Square Test. The level of significance was set at p≤0.05. Results: From the respondents, 273 (79%) had insufficient knowledge and 133 (38.7%) reported that have already used antidepressants. It was also noticed a significant statistical relationship between sex and consumption, women consume more than men. In 62% of cases (82 consumers) this class of drugs has been prescribed by family doctors. Conclusion: This study has demonstrated an inappropriate level of importance to depression in the prevention policies of health plans, since depression is one of the leading causes of disability in developed countries. Since Portugal is the European Country with the highest prevalence of mental diseases, it's necessary to create a realistic and practical plan of prevention and monitoring for that problem. It’s also needed the development of new research with community interventions, checking the most effective strategy to be applied in the near future.
