Introdução: A família afeta a saúde individual de cada um dos seus membros, interfere na
sua dinâmica e influencia a saúde mental.
Objetivos: Avaliar o nível de saúde mental nas famílias do interior de Portugal durante a
pandemia COVID 19; identificar os determinantes que interferem na saúde mental das famílias
e caracterizar a influencia das relações familiares na saúde mental dos seus membros.
Metodologia: Estudo quantitativo, descritivo e correlacional, com uma amostra de 134
indivíduos de 134 agregados familiares, idade compreendida entre 22 e 67 anos (M=42.28
anos±7.90), 77.6% dos elementos são do sexo feminino e 74.6% residem em locais urbanos.
Resultados: Na avaliação da saúde mental, revelam melhor situação em termos de laços
emocionais, de perda de controlo emocional/comportamental, de distresse psicológico e de
ansiedade. Revelam pior estado de saúde mental nas dimensões depressão, afeto positivo e
bem-estar psicológico. Os indivíduos do sexo masculino e mais velhos, tendem a apresentar
melhor saúde mental, bem como os que possuem melhores condições de vida. A qualidade
do sono, a duração da atividade física e uma boa perceção do estado de saúde atual tendem
a evidenciar uma melhor saúde mental. Os elementos da amostra que integram famílias
nucleares tendem a revelar melhor saúde mental em termos de laços emocionais do que
aqueles que pertencem a famílias monoparentais. Os indivíduos com um APGAR familiar mais
elevado e com um maior suporte social tendem a apresentar melhor saúde mental.
Conclusão: A saúde mental, é influenciada pela idade, sexo, local de residência, tipo de
habitação, tipo de família, APGAR familiar, suporte social, qualidade do sono, duração da
atividade física e a perceção do estado de saúde. Conhecer as condições de vida, ambiente
físico, social, cultural e socioecónomico das famílias é essencial para uma boa prática em
enfermagem comunitária.

Abstract Introduction: Family affects the individual health of each of its members, interferes in its dynamics and influences mental health. Objectives: To assess the mental health in families in the interior of Portugal during the COVID 19 pandemic; to identify the determining factors that interfere with the mental health of families and to characterise the influence of family relationships on the mental health of their members. Methodology: Quantitative, descriptive, and correlational study, with a sample of 134 individuals from 134 households, age between 22 and 67 years (M=42.28 years±7.90), 77.6% are female and 74.6% live in urban areas. Results: On mental health assessment, they show more positive results in terms of emotional ties, loss of emotional/behavioural control, psychological distress, and anxiety. They showed worse mental health status in terms of depression, positive affection and psychological well being. Male and older individuals tend to have better mental health, as well as those with better living conditions. The quality of sleep, the duration of physical activity and a good perception of current health status tend to be indicators for better mental health. Participants in nuclear families tended to show better mental health in terms of emotional ties than those in single parent families. Individuals with a higher family APGAR and with greater social support tend to have better mental health. Conclusion: Mental health is influenced by age, gender, place of residence, type of housing, type of family, family APGAR, social support, quality of sleep, duration of physical activity and the perception of health status. Being aware of the living conditions, physical, social, cultural, and socio-economic environment of families is essential for good practice in community nursing. Keywords: Mental health, family, determinants.
