title: [Prevalence of common mental disorders in nursing workers at a hospital of Bahia].
abstract: This study aimed to describe the prevalence of "suspected" of common mental disorders (CMD) in nursing workers at a general hospital in the state of Bahia. It was carried out a cross-sectional epidemiological study with 309 nursing workers, who worked in welfare activities in a large hospital. The nurses mentioned overwork and low pay. The most frequent health complaints were related to body posture and mental health. The overall prevalence of "suspected" of CMD was 35.0%. Regarding the psychosocial aspects of work, it was reported high psychological demand and low control over their work activities. The results indicated that the working and health conditions observed are not suitable for the effective realization of nursing work in the hospital.
