OBJECTIVE: this study reports an association between Common Mental Disorders and the socio-demographic and pharmacotherapy profiles of 106 patients cared for by a Primary Health Care unit in the interior of São Paulo, Brazil. METHOD: this is a cross-sectional descriptive exploratory study with a quantitative approach. Structured interviews and validated instruments were used to collect data. The Statistical Package for Social Science was used for analysis. RESULTS: The prevalence of Common Mental Disorders was 50%. An association was found between Common Mental Disorders and the variables occupation, family income, number of prescribed medications and number of pills taken a day. Greater therapy non-adherence was observed among those who tested positive for Common Mental Disorders. CONCLUSION: this study's results show the importance of health professionals working in PHC to be able to detect needs of a psychological nature among their patients and to support the implementation of actions to prevent the worsening of Common Mental Disorders.

“…Mediante as divergências encontradas entre os estudos, é importante considerar que tanto a adesão ao tratamento, quanto o controle metabólico são fenômenos complexos, os quais podem ser influenciados por fatores socioculturais, ambientais e psicológicos, tais como as crenças em saúde (25) . Salienta--se, também, que a ausência de uma definição consensual de adesão, a variedade de métodos de avaliação e a escassez de estudos utilizando o mesmo instrumento, especialmente em amostras brasileiras de pessoas com DM, dificultaram a ampliação da discussão dos dados do presente estudo.…”

RESUMOEstudo seccional de abordagem quantitativa que objetivou avaliar a adesão ao tratamento medicamentoso entre pessoas com diabetes mellitus, e sua relação com variáveis clínicas, de tratamento e controle metabólico. A amostra constituiu-se de 162 pessoas com diabetes mellitus tipo 2 em seguimento ambulatorial. Para a coleta dos dados, foram utilizadas a Medida de Adesão aos Tratamentos e a consulta aos prontuários dos participantes. Obteve-se elevada adesão ao tratamento medicamentoso. Para um p<0,05, obteve-se correlação inversa com a pressão arterial diastólica e correlação direta com a frequência diária de administração de insulina e de antidiabéticos orais. Não houve correlações estatisticamente signifi cantes entre adesão e variáveis de controle metabólico. Os resultados divergem da literatura no que se refere à taxa de adesão ao tratamento medicamentoso em doenças crônicas, bem como na correlação entre adesão e complexidade do regime medicamentoso, o que aponta para a necessidade de mais estudos sobre essa temática.

ABSTRACTThis cross-sectional and quantitative study aimed to evaluate the adherence to drug treatment of the people with diabetes mellitus and its relation to clinical, treatment and metabolic control variables. Sample consisted of 162 people with type 2 diabetes mellitus on follow-up outpatient care. The Measure of Treatment Adherence and consultation to the participants' medical records were used for data collection. A high adherence to drug treatment was obtained. For a p<0.05, it was obtained an inverse correlation with diastolic blood pressure and a direct correlation with the frequency of daily administration of insulin and oral antidiabetic agents. There were no statistically signifi cant correlations between adherence and metabolic control variables. Results diverge from the literature regarding the adherence to drug treatment in chronic diseases, as well as in the correlation between adherence and complexity of drug regimen, which points to the need for more studies on this theme.

“…Investigations have also shown that social support can be a valuable resource in helping people to adjust better to the problems that disease inflicts (9). Social support can be defined as support and assistance given to others.…”
