| Resumo: | The objective of the study was to evaluate the relation between nutritional status and maternal quality of life (QoL) in mental health. It is a cross-sectional study performed with mothers attended at the Basic Health Units of the municipality of Santa Cruz/RN. Maternal nutritional status was evaluated by Body Mass Index (BMI). QoL was measured by the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), referring to anxiety and depressive symptoms, and WHO-5 Well-being Index (WHO-5), referring to psychological well-being and screening for depression. The data were analyzed in the Statistical Package for Social Sciences, and presented by descriptive statistics, Spearman’s Correlation and Chi-square tests, adopting p<0.05 as statistical significance. The total of 169 mothers were interviewed, mean age 28.4 ± 5.8 years, with up to two children (76.9%) and overweight (62.7%). The total number of children and maternal BMI showed a significant and positive correlation (p = 0.003, r = 0.223). Regarding QoL, the K10 found 34.5% of the population with some degree of mental disorder and WHO-5 88.8% with some type of depressive disorder. QoL was not statistically related to nutritional status (K10: p = 0.755 and x² = 3.4, WHO-5: p = 0.062 and x² = 5.6). It was observed, however, that the majority of women with some possibly mental disorder were overweight (K10 = 64.4% and WHO-5 = 54.3%). It is observed the need for multidisciplinary actions aimed at the public and other studies evaluating other variables that may affect maternal QoL. |
