The high levels of anxiety, stress, and depression produced by the global Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic could trigger eating disorders. Health professionals are more exposed to these changes due to their work environment.
To evaluate the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and the onset of binge eating disorder and psychiatric disorders in Brazilian health professionals.
This descriptive, prospective, cross-sectional study interviewed 219 Brazilian health professionals between June and October 2020 using an online questionnaire. The 7-Item Binge Eating Disorder Screener was used to diagnose binge eating disorder. The Self-Reporting Questionnaire was used to assess psychiatric disorders. The statistical analysis included calculation of absolute frequency, relative frequency, mean and standard deviation. Contingency coefficient C was used to determine the association between the variables.
A total of 35 (16%) participants reported symptoms related to binge eating disorder, while 131 (59.8%) reported psychiatric symptoms. There was an association between binge eating disorder, psychiatric disorders, and body mass index.
Our findings suggest the onset of psychiatric disorders and binge eating disorders in these professionals and that elevated body mass index is directly associated with these disorders.

评估2019冠状病毒病大流行与巴西卫生专业人员暴饮暴食症和精神疾病发作之间的关系。
这项描述性、前瞻性横断面研究于2020年6月至10月期间使用在线问卷对219名巴西卫生专业人员进行了访谈。使用7项暴饮暴食症筛查量表来诊断暴饮暴食症。使用自陈问卷来评估精神疾病。统计分析包括计算绝对频率、相对频率、均值和标准差。列联系数C用于确定变量之间的关联。
共有35名(16%)参与者报告了与暴饮暴食症相关的症状,而131名(59.8%)报告了精神症状。暴饮暴食症、精神疾病和体重指数之间存在关联。
我们的研究结果表明,这些专业人员中出现了精神疾病和暴饮暴食症,并且体重指数升高与这些疾病直接相关。
