Prevalence of the probability of mental disorder and associated factors among individuals after bariatric surgery

Abstract

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of the probability of common mental disorder and associated factors among individuals undergoing bariatric surgery. Methods: A cross-sectional study carried out with 303 individuals in the central region of Brazil. An instrument for tracking mental disorders was applied and logistic regression analysis was performed, calculating the prevalence ratios. Results: 50.2% were likely to have common mental disorder. In the multiple analysis, the following remained associated with the common mental disorder: insomnia (prevalence ratio: 1.132; 95% CI 1.020-1.256; p=0.020), binge eating (prevalence ratio: 1.429; 95% CI 1.244-1.641; p=0.000), having seen or heard things that did not exist in alcohol abstinence (prevalence ratio: 1.130; 95% CI 1.033-1.236; p=0.007), always having alcoholic beverages nearby (prevalence ratio: 1.330; 95% CI 1.182-1.518; p=0.000) and having been an obese child/adolescent (prevalence ratio: 0.885; 95% CI 0.786-0.997; p=0.046). Conclusion: The results reinforce the importance of systematizing Nursing care in health actions in a multidisciplinary team.
