Resumen
Objetivo: Conocer la prevalencia de depresión entre los profesionales sanitarios del Hospital Comarcal Asa Norte y los mecanismos de afrontamiento que utilizan. Métodos: Estudio transversal, descriptivo y analítico, con abordaje cuantitativo, con profesionales de salud del Hospital Regional Asa Norte. Resultados: La prevalencia de síntomas depresivos entre los participantes fue del 75,76%, de los cuales el 53,54% refirió síntomas depresivos de moderada a alta gravedad. Los profesionales de entre 30 y 39 años tenían una prevalencia de depresión un 78% mayor que los de 50 años o más (p = 0,0300). En cuanto a los mecanismos de afrontamiento, la mayoría de los profesionales utilizaban mecanismos de afrontamiento positivos. Conclusión: Se identificó una elevada prevalencia de depresión entre los profesionales sanitarios, similar a los hallazgos publicados internacionalmente que indican una mayor prevalencia de trastornos mentales entre los trabajadores sanitarios. Por lo tanto, es evidente que se trata de un problema que debe abordarse como una prioridad de salud pública.
