[Mental disorders and working capacity evaluation in psychiatric boards].

Introduction: The evaluation by a "Psychiatric Board" of workers in certified sickness absence is a complex practice, and its results have significant effects from a work and health standpoint.

Objectives: To evaluate the inter-rater reliability in the psychiatric board and the association between self-reported measurement and the board judgment.

Materials And Method: information was obtained from 68 school teachers on sick leaves through self-reported scales (Zung and Conde Self-rating Scale for Depression; Maslach Burnout Inventory; Effort-reward Imbalance Questionnaire; and Self Reported Present Health State Scale).
