The present investigation entitled “RISK FACTORS AND PREVALENCE OF MENTAL DISORDERS IN THE PERSONNEL OF THE EMERGENCY SERVICE OF THE REGIONAL HOSPITAL OF LORETO“ It was carried out by Bach. Psic. Lucy Lilia Valladares Rojas and its main objective was to verify if there was a significant relationship between certain risk factors (age, medical condition and proximity to COVID) and the prevalence of mental disorders in the personnel of the Emergency Service of the Regional Hospital of Loreto. The type of research assumed was descriptive - explanatory, the research level was correlational, the research design was non-experimental, the study focus was quantitative, and the temporal cut-off was cross-sectional. The research sample consisted of 60 people belonging to the staff of the Emergency Service of the mentioned hospital. A “non-probabilistic“ sampling of the “criterial or opinion“ type was applied, applying a “census“. To measure the variables considered in the study, an affiliation questionnaire was applied to the selected sample to obtain the socio-demographic characteristics of the sample, including gender, age, length of service in the institution, marital status, work condition, medical condition and greater or lesser proximity to COVID patients. The Self-Reporting Questionnaire - SRQ, designed by the World Health Organization for a rapid assessment of possible mental disorders (Anxiety, Depression, Psychotic Disorder, Seizure Disorders and Alcoholism) was jointly applied. The instruments, before their application, were previously validated by judges' criteria and their reliability was established using Cronbach's Alpha Test. The results of the study, in its descriptive part, confirmed that the sample, in general, had normal levels of Anxiety, Depression, Psychotic Disorder, Seizure Disorders and Alcoholism. Being Depression, Anxiety and Alcoholism the disorders that occurred most frequently although always within a medium and low range. Regarding risk factors, it was found that the majority age group was between 39-48 years. Regarding pre-morbid medical condition, it was observed that 11.7% of the sample was made up of diabetic people, followed by obesity, sedentary lifestyle and hypertension. 35% of the sample did not present or did not present systemic disease. The mental disorders with the highest frequencies of occurrences, although always within the medium and low ranges, were: Anxiety, Depression and Alcoholism. Regarding the relationship between risk factors considered in the study (Age Group, Medical Condition and Closeness to COVID 19) and the Mental Disorders considered Psychiatric Symptom Self-Report Questionnaire-SRQ (Anxiety, Depression, Psychotic Disorders, Seizure Disorders and Alcoholism), very mild relationships were found among all of them which were not, in any of the cases, statistically significant, so the hypotheses raised were not statistically verified.
