Abstract(s)

This study aimed to assess the application of the Brazilian version of the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) to 603 oil industry workers in Bahia, Brazil, as well as to investigate the association of findings with psychiatric disorders and work-related absenteeism. This descriptive, retrospective research was conducted during the occupational health assessments in 2018. The sample consisted of men (90.7 %), aged 50-59 years (47.5 %) and with complete high school education (64.7 %). Associations between the level and symptoms of stress and psychiatric disorders (p < 0.05) and absenteeism (p < 0.05) were also found. In the depressive-anxious mood field, it was found that 41 % of women and 31.2 % of men felt nervous, tense or worried (p < 0.05), and that 10.5 % of men and 16.4 % of women had been sad lately (p < 0.05).
