Abstract(s)

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of social relations, leisure and drug use on the mental health of workers in the oil industry of Bahia, Brazil. It is a descriptive, retrospective research, developed in 2018, involving 622 workers from an occupational health service, to whom the Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) and a socioeconomic questionnaire were applied. Men (90.2%), aged between 50-59 years (45.6%), married (54.9%) and with a mean level of schooling (64.2%) prevailed in this study. Of the participants, 50% drink less than once a month and about 90% never smoked. An association between loss of interest in things and increase in alcohol consumption was identified (p < 0.05). Another association can be found between feeling nervous, tense or worried and increasing tobacco consumption (p < 0.05). In almost 95% of the participants, components of the family environment that positively interfere with health were identified, as well as the use of social and leisure environments to maintain and recover health. Social and leisure relations positively influence the mental health of the studied group, and alcohol and tobacco consumption are associated with common mental disorders (CMD).
