Introduction:
Depression is a public health problem that mainly affects the working population, however, there is still little evidence of its prevalence and its relationship with the working and non-working conditions of medical personnel in countries like Colombia.
Objective:
To determine intra-labor and extra-labor characteristics related to the presence of depressive symptoms in doctors who work in the Near East of the department of Antioquia, Colombia 2020.
Material and Methods:
Cross-sectional study with a primary source of information for a sample of 84 healthcare and administrative doctors, who worked in some municipalities in the near east of the department of Antioquia. Self-completed survey was applied. Descriptive and bivariate analyzes.
Results:
Doctors of average age, predominantly female, with monthly incomes below US 1,250. They worked> 8 hours a day, > 6 days a week. Prevalence of moderate-severe depressive symptoms of 41,7%. This symptomatology was associated with having a comfortable workplace (RP=5.77), undergraduate training (RP=3,01) and clinical postgraduate (RP=2,69), working in an outpatient clinic (RP=1,28), emergencies (RP=1,30), in second-level institutions (RP=1,50), and have excellent (RP=2,15) or very good (RP=2,20) relationships with the immediate boss. Living at home was associated (p <0.05) with a lower prevalence of depressive symptoms (RP=0,50. CI=0.29;0.85).
Conclusion:
Modifiable working and extra-working conditions are associated with the prevalence of depressive symptoms of these doctors, which could be reversed to improve their living and health conditions.
