| Resumo: | Objective: to estimate the suspicion of Common Mental Disorders (CMD) in nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic and identify associated factors. Methods: an analytical cross-sectional study was carried out between September and December 2021 with a probabilistic sample of 102 undergraduate nursing students from a public university in southern Brazil. A questionnaire was applied containing variables related to sociodemographic characteristics, perceptions about health, COVID-19, social distancing and the Self-Reporting Questionnaire. For analysis, chi-square test and Fisher's exact test were used (p-value < 0.05). Results: a prevalence of 64.71% was identified for suspicion of CMD, which was associated with: belonging to the group of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, pansexual or other variables of gender identity and/or sexual orientation (p = 0.002); having a family member or close person who developed the severe form of COVID-19 (p = 0.020); and considering that social distancing had impacts on friendships, relationships and other social interactions (p = 0.049). Conclusion: during the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant number of students were suspected of having CMD associated with the social and family impacts of the pandemic, but also with gender diversity and/or sexual orientation. |
