This study analyzed the prevalence and associated factors of benzodiazepine use among teachers in municipalities of Espírito Santo, Brazil, in 2024.
A cross-sectional, quantitative study conducted with teachers from the state of Espírito Santo using self-administered questionnaires.
Among the 453 teachers surveyed, the prevalence of benzodiazepine use was 6.8% (n=31), increasing to 21.1% (n=26) among teachers with a previous diagnosis of mental disorders (n=123). Most benzodiazepines were used daily (57.6%; n=19), 42.5% (n=14) had been used for 2-5 years, and 39.4% (n=13) reported use without antidepressant treatment.
Severe anxiety symptoms and clinical insomnia were associated with an increased likelihood of benzodiazepine use, whereas having a partner was associated with reduced use. The prevalence of benzodiazepine use among teachers was higher than in the general population.
本研究分析了2024年巴西圣埃斯皮里图州各市镇教师中苯二氮䓬类药物的使用 prevalence 及相关因素。
采用自填式问卷对圣埃斯皮里图州的教师进行了一项横断面定量研究。
在453名接受调查的教师中，苯二氮䓬类药物的使用 prevalence 为6.8%（n = 31），在先前被诊断患有精神障碍的教师（n = 123）中增至21.1%（n = 26）。大多数苯二氮䓬类药物为每日使用（57.6%；n = 19），42.5%（n = 14）已使用2至5年，39.4%（n = 13）报告在未接受抗抑郁治疗的情况下使用。
