This study aimed to investigate the relations among mental disorders, physical discomfort, household work and farm work among women. We conducted a cross-sectional study based on the administration of a structured questionnaire to 182 female farm workers. The data were analyzed by means of Poisson regression, where the significance level was set to 5%. Results indicated that 111 (61%) participants reported work-related mental disorders and physical discomfort was reported by 160 (87.9%). The participants with mental disorders and at least moderate levels of physical discomfort reported significantly higher levels of physical demand, time working (temporal demand), total effort and frustration with regard to farm work, in addition to significantly higher levels of frustration with regard to housework. Women with moderate or greater levels of both physical discomfort and frustration with farm work increased the chances of mental disorders. The results illustrate the complex challenge for health professionals in caring for women with mental disorders and physical discomforts related to their farm work, in the context of both the farm and domestic work demands these workers experience.
本研究旨在调查女性精神障碍、身体不适、家务劳动和农活之间的关系。我们对182名女性农场工人进行了结构化问卷调查，开展了一项横断面研究。数据采用泊松回归分析，显著性水平设定为5%。结果表明，111名（61%）参与者报告有与工作相关的精神障碍，160名（87.9%）报告有身体不适。患有精神障碍且身体不适至少达到中度水平的参与者在农活方面的体力需求、工作时间（时间需求）、总工作量和挫折感显著更高，在家务劳动方面的挫折感也显著更高。身体不适和对农活的挫折感达到中度或更高水平的女性出现精神障碍的几率增加。研究结果表明，在这些工人所经历的农活和家务劳动需求的背景下，健康专业人员在照顾患有与农活相关的精神障碍和身体不适的女性时面临着复杂的挑战。
