AnĂĄlise estatĂ­stica por regressĂŁo logĂ­stica mĂșltipla, apĂłs estatĂ­stica descritiva e cĂĄlculo das ORs simples e ajustadas. Resultados: A prevalĂȘncia de transtorno mental comum geral foi de 40% (n = 473), mas com a retirada dos calouros, aumentou para 42,5% (n = 433) entre os alunos do 2° ao 12° semestre, sendo maior entre aqueles que nĂŁo acreditavam ter adquirido habilidades para se tornarem bons mĂ©dicos (OR = 2,82), que se sentiam pouco confortĂĄveis com as atividades do curso (OR = 3,75), que se consideravam emocionalmente tensos (OR = 2,14), nos que nĂŁo se consideravam felizes (OR = 2,85), nos que achavam que o curso era menos do que esperavam (OR = 1,64) e nos que tiveram diagnĂłstico prĂ©vio de transtorno mental feito por psiquiatra (OR = 3,78). ConclusĂŁo: Os resultados sugerem a necessidade de mudanças no processo ensino-aprendizagem, bem como estruturação de programas para cuidar da saĂșde mental dos estudantes. _________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT: Objective: Estimate the prevalence of common mental disorder and its associated factors among medical students of the Universidade Federal de Sergipe.
