    OBJETIVO: Comparar o cotidiano de trabalho e a prevalĂȘncia dos transtornos mentais comuns (TMC) dos mĂ©dicos que exerciam suas atividades profissionais no serviço de emergĂȘncia com os da UTI e enfermarias de um hospital geral da rede estadual em Recife, em 2004. MÉTODOS:Estudo de prevalĂȘncia tendo utilizado como instrumentos um questionĂĄrio sobre o Cotidiano de Trabalho MĂ©dico e o Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20), para identificar os TMC. Foram descritas caracterĂ­sticas demogrĂĄficas, socioeconĂŽmicas e do cotidiano de trabalho dos mĂ©dicos do hospital. Calculou-se a prevalĂȘncia global dos TMC e por setor de trabalho. RESULTADOS: Comparando os mĂ©dicos da emergĂȘncia com os da UTI e enfermarias, aqueles tinham vĂ­nculo empregatĂ­cio com o Estado (p < 0,0001), mĂșltiplos empregos (p = 0,004), maior carga horĂĄria semanal de trabalho (> 71 horas) (p = 0,007), maior sensação de sobrecarga de trabalho (95,74%, p = 0,015) e recebiam no hospital atĂ© 5 salĂĄrios mĂ­nimos (p < 0,0001). Embora a diferença nĂŁo tenha sido estatisticamente significante, a prevalĂȘncia de TMC foi maior nos mĂ©dicos da emergĂȘncia (32,00%), comparando-se aos da UTI (17,65%) e enfermarias (17,54%). CONCLUSÃO: Identificou-se a emergĂȘncia como setor de maior prevalĂȘncia de TMC e com mĂ©dicos vivenciando piores condiçÔes de trabalho.<br>OBJECTIVE: To compare the day-to-day workload and prevalence of common mental disorders (CMD) among physicians that exercise their professional activities in the emergency service with those of the ICU and infirmaries of a state-run general emergency hospital in the city of Recife in 2004. METHODS: Cross-sectional study which used a questionnaire elaborated to obtain information on the Physician’s Day-to-day Workload and the Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20), to identify CMD. Demographic, socio-economic and day-to-day workload characteristics of the physicians of the hospital were described. The global prevalence of CMD and stratified by working sector was calculated. RESULTS: Comparing the physicians of the emergency service with those of the ICU and infirmaries, the formers worked for the state (p < 0.0001), had multiple jobs (p = 0.004), had a greater weekly workload (> 71 hours) (p = 0.007), presented a greater sensation of being overworked (95.74%, p = 0.015) and received up to 5 times the minimum salary at the hospital (p < 0.0001). Although the difference was not statistically significant, the prevalence of CMD was higher among those physicians in the emergency service (32.00%) in comparison to those of the ICU (17.65%) and the infirmaries (17.54%). CONCLUSION: The emergency service was identified as the sector with the highest prevalence of CMD and with physicians experiencing the worst day-to-day working conditions
