This is a quantitative study with 385 records of workers who were attended the university medical service by a team of mental health from July 2009 to December 2010, the averages were calculated using the chi-square test and with level of significance of 5% (p<0.05). It was observed that nursing professionals had, in the average, lower age (47.5±9.7), more absences (5.15±3.29) and were more days away from work (191.8±168.5) compared to other categories, respectively (53.7±12.7), (2.18±2.8) and (138±163). The majority was diagnosed with affective and mood disorders (65%) and they were prescribed controlled medicine (96.8%), the differences were statistically significant in relation to other professionals. Although younger, the nursing staff stayed away longer, more frequently and had more mental health problems

Summary
The assistance to the needs for living is not the only thing men look for at work, and his personal valuing and satisfaction as a useful human being provided with intellectual capacity. At work, physical and psychic aspects are directly related and can both represent balance and satisfaction, as well as cause tension, misfit and sickening. The mental disorders are alterations in the functioning of the mind which jeopardize the work of a person, and they do not leave any aspect of the human condition untouched. They occupy the third position among the causes of pension due to diseases, keeping him away from the work for more than 15 days and pension for permanent disability. The vulnerability to get sick at work is not homogenously distributed, it depends among other factors, on the requirements to which the worker is submitted when doing his professional activity and on the psychological resources available for him to face such adversities
