Abstract
Objectives: to identify anxiety symptoms in rural women and the influence of socio-demographic, economic, behavioral and reproductive health variables on anxiety symptoms.
Method: observational and transversal study. A total of 280 women living in rural areas participated. The Trace-state anxiety inventory was used. In the bivariate analysis, the t-Student test and the Pearson correlation were used. For multivariate analysis, multiple linear regression was performed.
Results: the mean scores of women were 38.3 and 41.4 points in anxiety-state and anxiety-trace respectively. Women who reported “bad” coexistence with their partner had higher scores for anxiety-state symptoms and anti-anxiety. The variable number of children was a predictor of the scores of the symptoms of state-anxiety and trait-anxiety and the variable age, a predictor of the scores of the symptoms of trait-anxiety.
Conclusion: the results showed the influence of different factors with the symptoms of anxiety among rural women. The identification of symptoms and associated factors by the health team can contribute to specific actions and appropriate referrals.

Resumo
Objetivos: identificar os sintomas de ansiedade em mulheres rurais e a influência de variáveis sociodemográficas, econômicas, comportamentais e de saúde reprodutiva sobre os sintomas de ansiedade.
Método: estudo observacional e transversal. Participaram 280 mulheres residentes na área rural. Foi utilizado o inventário de ansiedade Traço-Estado. Na análise bivariada, foram usados o teste t-Student e a correlação de Pearson. Para a análise multivariada, foi realizada a regressão linear múltipla.
Resultados: os escores médios das mulheres foram de 38,3 e 41,4 pontos na ansiedade-estado e ansiedade-traço respectivamente. As mulheres que referiram convivência “ruim” com o companheiro apresentaram maiores escores de sintomas de ansiedade-estado e ansiedade-traço. A variável número de filhos foi preditora dos escores dos sintomas de ansiedade-estado e ansiedade-traço e a variável idade, preditora do escore dos sintomas de ansiedade-traço.
Conclusão: os resultados evidenciaram a influência de diferentes fatores com os sintomas de ansiedade entre as mulheres rurais. A identificação dos sintomas e os fatores associados, por parte da equipe de saúde, pode contribuir para ações específicas e encaminhamentos adequados.
