SUMMARY:

Due to the work characteristics, the hospital sanitation professional is subjected to a condition of vulnerability as a result of occupational overloads such as physical – musculoskeletal damage, chemical – risk of infectious and psychological – anxiety, stress, sleep disorders and emotional distress. This vulnerability was even more evident for the hospital sanitation team in this period of  Covid-19 pandemic as a consequence of the high levels of contamination and risk of death that the new coronavirus imposes. The objective of this study is to investigate the levels of anxiety, depression and stress among hospital sanitation professionals and their relation with perceived social support, as a function of sociodemographic and health aspects. This is an exploratory, descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach that used online data collection with 95 professionals from the sanitation sector of a hospital. They answered a sociodemographic questionnaire, the DASS-21 depression, anxiety and stress scale and the MOS-SSS social support scale. For comparisons of social support, Fisher's exact test was used, the multiple linear regression model was used to define scores, and normality was tested by the Shapiro-Wilk test. The level of significance adopted was 5%. As a result, 15.7% had symptoms of depression, 13.68% of anxiety and 5.2% of stress. The prevalence of emotional states was higher for women and people who had already received support  by a mental health professional before or during the pandemic. Our findings also found that people who received greater social support had a lower prevalence of developing symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress, both for men and women. In general, men perceive greater social support than women, especially in social interaction. The affective component of social support proved to have been the element with the greatest positive impact on emotional states, especially for women, especially on symptoms of depression. For men, the greatest negative impact of the absence of social support was evidenced by the presence of stress symptoms.
