Abstract

Work-Related Mental Disorders (TMRT) are multifactorial conditions caused by adverse occupational situations and environments, resulting in psychological and behavioral changes. Every suspected case must be reported using the investigation form in the Notifiable Diseases Information System (Sinan). The objective was to assess the completeness of data from the Work-Related Diseases Epidemiological Surveillance System (SV-DRT) for the mental disorder in Brazil, from 2020 to 2024. The completeness assessment considered 14,527 reported cases. Of the 28 variables analyzed, only three achieved completeness greater than 95%. Of the five mandatory variables, three received an excellent rating. Of the essential fields, only two received a good rating; the others ranged from poor to fair. It can be concluded that the SV-DRT for the Mental Disorder condition, covering the period evaluated, was classified as regular for the completeness of the information contained in the database.

Key words: mental disorder; occupational disease; health surveillance system.
