【 摘 要 】

This work discusses the relationship between hypertension, diabetes, anxiety, depression, and social support in primary health care. This research aimed to identify the association between physical disease, mental disease, support network and perceived social support in the research sample. This is a cross-sectional study inserted in a larger research project funded by the Pan American Health Organization and carried out in 2002 in Petrópolis, RJ. The sample consisted of 714 patients with ages ranging from 18 to 65 years old. Results showed association between variables from support network either with evidence of hypertension or diabetes, or with the existence of common mental disorders, but with different patterns. Associations with the perceived support were positive in patients with hypertension and diabetes; Common Mental Disorder patients showed negative associations, inversely associated to the level of mental disease.
