Abstract

Objectives

to identify anxiety symptoms in rural women and the influence of socio-demographic, economic, behavioral and reproductive health variables on anxiety symptoms.

Method

observational and transversal study. A total of 280 women living in rural areas participated. The Trace-state anxiety inventory was used. In the bivariate analysis, the t-Student test and the Pearson correlation were used. For multivariate analysis, multiple linear regression was performed.

Results

the mean scores of women were 38.3 and 41.4 points in anxiety-state and anxiety-trace respectively. Women who reported “bad” coexistence with their partner had higher scores for anxiety-state symptoms and anti-anxiety. The variable number of children was a predictor of the scores of the symptoms of state-anxiety and trait-anxiety and the variable age, a predictor of the scores of the symptoms of trait-anxiety.

Conclusion

the results showed the influence of different factors with the symptoms of anxiety among rural women. The identification of symptoms and associated factors by the health team can contribute to specific actions and appropriate referrals.
