“…In the study carried out by Sampaio et al 26 with health professionals in the Brazilian context, positive associations were found between depression, anxiety, and one of the emotional components of empathy, namely, personal distress, also corroborating with the results of this study. 26 Another finding of this study was that the use of cognitive aspects of empathy can prevent the onset of depression symptoms, reinforcing the possibility that empathy is associated with the mental health of the professionals who provide care. 26 As a limitation of the study, it should be mentioned that only 20 LTCIs (58.8%) from the 34 that were invited participated in the survey.…”

Although PHQ-9 is a widely used and validated instrument in different contexts, the use of structured or semi-structured clinical interviews is the gold standard for the diagnosis of depression; therefore, using the PHQ-9 to divide clinical groups with and without depression can be considered a limitation of this study.…”

Empathy is an important factor to guarantee the quality of care provided in the long-term care institutions (LTCIs) for older adults, and depression is a factor that affects the health of the professional and, consequently, the care. Thus, it is important that studies are conducted on the relationship of these variables in this context. Objective: The aim of this study is to verify the relationship between empathy and depressive symptoms among health professionals working in the LTCIs. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out at LTCIs in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The final sample was constituted by 101 health professionals (i.e., caregivers and nursing technicians) with direct participation in the care of institutionalized older adults. The instruments were used as follows: the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) to assess empathy and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) for the diagnosis of depression. For the analyses, the patients were divided into groups with and without depression, according to the score of the PHQ-9. Results: The prevalence of depression among health professionals was 19.8%. Significant statistical differences were found between the groups for the total score of the IRI (p=0.029), for the emotional domain (p=0.023), and for the personal distress (p=0.009). Conclusions: The findings indicate that the presence of depression among health professionals at LTCIs is related to the higher levels of empathy, especially in the emotional domain. Thus, future studies that contribute to understanding how care must be provided with empathy, but without harming the health of the professional, should be carried out.

“…No que diz respeito à satisfação com o trabalho e à ocorrência de episódios de ansiedade e depressão, há evidências de maior ocorrência de episódios de ansiedade e depressão em profissionais de saúde com menores níveis de empatia. Nesse caso, a relação entre a saúde mental e o perfil empático dos profissionais pode interferir no nível de satisfação com o trabalho, já que o comprometimento da capacidade empática pode prejudicar afetivamente o indivíduo e causar o afastamento de suas interações sociais, incluindo o ambiente laboral (15) . Profissionais satisfeitos com sua prática laboral tendem a apresentar menos sintomas depressivos.…”

Objective: to analyze the levels of anxiety, depression, and work engagement among nursing professionals in Primary Health Care. Methods: cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational study with nursing professionals from Family Health Units. We used: the Beck Anxiety Inventory; the Beck Depression Inventory; and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. Results: we observed moderate anxiety among nurses and mild anxiety among nursing assistants/technicians; and mild depression among nurses and nursing assistants/technicians. Anxiety and depression were positively and moderately correlated (r:0.562; p=0.000). The professionals presented elevated levels of work engagement. Conclusion: important levels of anxiety and depression were evidenced among professionals, indicating progress to levels that compromise health and quality of life. Despite the compromised mental health, the professionals showed willingness to work and an important resilience capacity.
