Resumo: | ABSTRACT - Depression is a highly prevalent and very disabling disease. Different factors may contribute to its development and, even in mild cases, depression causes a loss of productivity and generates high indirect costs to society. Literature on the Portuguese context is scarce and not up to date. This study intended to provide additional and updated information on the indirect costs of depression due to absenteeism and on disease prevalence in the years of 2014 and 2019 for the adult population. The study used data from the population-based National Health Surveys of 2014 and 2019 to study the prevalence, risk factors and association of depression to work absence. The indirect costs were estimated based on these data and on the average monthly earnings in Portugal from the Instituto Nacional de Estatística. The prevalence of depression in the adult Portuguese inhabitants increased from 2014 to 2019 both in the general (13.7 vs 15.1%) and working populations (7.8 vs 9.2%). Having depression represented an additional work absence of 10.3 to 33.0 days in 2014 and between 15.2 to 41.0 days in 2019. The mean individual excess cost related to depression varied between 535.12 and 1,716.09 EUR in 2014 and between 852.45 and 2,291.11 EUR in 2019. These values may represent 163-524 million EUR in 2014 and 294-790 million EUR in 2019 when considering the Portuguese workforce. These results demonstrate the importance of an intervention to improve mental health care to the Portuguese society and implement cost-effective measures. |

Diferentes fatores poderão contribuir para o seu desenvolvimento e, mesmo em casos ligeiros, causa perdas de produtividade e origina altos custos indiretos para a sociedade. A literatura sobre o contexto português é escassa e não está atualizada. Este estudo pretendeu fornecer informação adicional e atualizada sobre os custos indiretos da depressão devida ao absentismo e a sua prevalência nos anos 2014 e 2019 nos adultos. O estudo usou dados dos Inquéritos Nacionais de Saúde, de base populacional, de 2014 e 2019 para estudar a prevalência, fatores de risco e a associação de depressão à ausência ao trabalho. Os custos indiretos foram estimados com base nestes dados e no ganho médio mensal em Portugal de acordo com o Instituto Nacional de Estatística. A prevalência de depressão nos residentes portugueses adultos aumentou de 2014 para 2019 na população geral (13.7 vs 15.1%) e na empregada (7.8 vs 9.2%). Ter depressão representou uma ausência ao trabalho adicional de 10.3 a 33.0 dias em 2014 e de 15.2 a 41.0 dias em 2019. O custo adicional médio individual da depressão variou entre 535.12 e 1,716.09 EUR em 2014 e entre 852.45 e 2,291.11 EUR em 2019. Considerando a força de trabalho portuguesa, estes valores podem representar 163- 524 milhões EUR em 2014 e 294- 790 milhões EUR em 2019. Estes resultados demonstram a importância de uma intervenção para melhorar os cuidados de saúde mental à sociedade portuguesa e implementar medidas que sejam custo-efetivas.Alves, JoanaRUNGonçalves, Patrício José Bastos2023-06-20T16:46:55Z20212021-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/154170TID:203020294enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T05:36:37Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/154170Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:55:31.314930Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
