title: [Mental disorders and working capacity evaluation in psychiatric boards].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The evaluation by a "Psychiatric Board" of workers in certified sickness absence is a complex practice, and its results have significant effects from a work and health standpoint.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the inter-rater reliability in the psychiatric board and the association between self-reported measurement and the board judgment.
  
  
  METHODS
  information was obtained from 68 school teachers on sick leaves through self-reported scales (Zung and Conde Self-rating Scale for Depression; Maslach Burnout Inventory; Effort-reward Imbalance Questionnaire; and Self Reported Present Health State Scale). Blind clinical psychiatric evaluation regarding the former information was carried out. Two independent scores of the Global Assessment Scale; Clinical Global Impression; Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale and Reliability Scale were obtained.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The results support the reliability of the instruments and that they can provide important information to the Psychiatric Board.
