Resumo
Objective: To determine the prevalence of mental disorders in children and
adolescents from an indigenous population living in isolated tribes in the
Brazilian Amazon. Methods: This is an analytical prevalence study in a sample
of 192 indigenous children and adolescents from Karajá ethnicity, aged between
7 and 14 years old. The prevalence were determined using the syndrome scales
of mental health problems according to the ASEBA questionnaires. The Child
Behavior Checklist 6-18 (CBCL) and the Teacher Report Form 6-18 (TRF) were
used for the screening of these problems. The difference among the prevalence
found in the two questionnaires as well as the risk association between gender
and schooling and mental health problems were evaluated. Results: A total
prevalence of problems of 34.38% with the CBCL and of 23.44% with the TRF
was found (p < 0.00). There was an association between the occurrence of
these problems in the subjects attending the second phase of fundamental
school (6th to 9th year of formal education). Conclusion: The prevalence of
mental health problems found was high when compared to studies with other
cultures around the world. It was observed that even in human populations who
preserve the primordial cultural aspects of their ancestors who lived 10.000
years ago, psychiatric problems exist and have clinical presentations that are
similar to those found in modern civilized societies, in which the cultural context
may influence the manifestations of such problems.
