To determine the prevalence and distribution of psychological distress in an urban adult population.
A total of 3,942 individuals over 20 years old in the city of Pelotas, Brazil, were studied. Psychological distress was defined using an indicator of well-being, the Faces Scale, and self-perception of nervousness. Chi-square test was performed to assess the association with sociodemographics.
Prevalence of psychological distress was 14% when using the Faces Scale and 31.8% through self-perception of nervousness.
Older, poor, and lower education women groups were the ones that showed a higher prevalence of distress.
确定城市成年人群体中心理困扰的患病率及分布情况。
对巴西佩洛塔斯市3942名20岁以上的个体进行了研究。使用幸福感指标“面部表情量表”以及对紧张情绪的自我认知来定义心理困扰。采用卡方检验来评估与社会人口统计学因素的关联。
使用面部表情量表时心理困扰的患病率为14%，通过对紧张情绪的自我认知得出的患病率为31.8%。
年龄较大、贫困且受教育程度较低的女性群体心理困扰的患病率较高。
