Abstract

The term psychopathology can be conceptualized as the junction of knowledge related to the mental illness of the human being. There are several psychopathologies described, these when not diagnosed and accompanied by professionals and specialized services can generate diverse social and health problems for individuals. This study aimed to identify psychopathological symptoms in schoolchildren from the city of Oiapoque-AP to analyze the issues associated with these symptoms. This is a quantitative and qualitative descriptive study based on the application of the Scale for the Identification of Psychopathological Symptoms in Schoolchildren (EISPE). To analyze the data, descriptive and analytical analyzes were performed through the statistical program Statistical Package for The Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24.0. Qualitative data were analyzed through the Interface de R pour les analyses multidimensionnelles de textes et de questionnaires (IRAMUTEQ) software through classic lexicographic analyzes, similarity analysis and word cloud. The project was carried out in the municipality of Oiapoque-AP and developed in the four municipal schools that contemplate the initial series (first to sixth year). The project's public was 264 children aged 6 to 12 years enrolled in municipal schools in Oiapoque. As for the age group, the majority were between 8 and 10 years of age (39.4%), female (50.8%), born in the municipality of Oiapoque-AP (62.5%), enrolled in the 3rd and (46.5%) reported having performed 3 to 4 physical activity per week (43.9%), with a family income of 1 to 5 minimum wages (89.0%). (27.7%), had no family members in psychiatric treatment (100%) and had no abusive use of psychoactive substances (91.6%). The most present psychopathological symptoms were related to anxiety, mood and eating disorders. With the application of EISPE and data analysis, the results indicate that the proportions of psychopathological symptoms among the subjects of the research are related to mood, anxiety and eating patterns. The issues associated with the psychopathological variations of the study may be related to the social determinants of this population
