Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between quality of life and common mental disorders among medical students from the State University of Southwest Bahia, Jequié campus. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 115 students (61 male and 54 female students) during the second half of 2016. The prevalence of common mental disorders was 32.2% (n=37). The lowest domain of quality of life among individuals with common mental disorders was the environment, with median of 56.4 (IQ 46.9-68.8), followed by psychological, 56.9 (IQ 50-66.6); physical health, 57.1 (IQ 46.6-67.8); and social relations, 65.5 (IQ 50-83.3). This study estimates that all domains of quality of life were reduced in individuals with suspected common mental disorders; and the final regression model showed the physical health and psychological domains as a protection factor for these individuals.
