Objective: to detect suspected common mental disorders (CMDs) in nursing residents, and identify related predictive factors. Method: this cross-sectional study examined a sample of 130 residents at a Rio de Janeiro city university hospital who answered the Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) and sociodemographic questions, in 2018. The resulting data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study was approved by the research ethics committee. Results: the results revealed suspected CMDs in 52% of the sample, which was mainly young, single and female. Of the frequent predictors, 87.53% said they felt nervous, tense and worried, 60.7% felt tired all the time, and 57.7% slept poorly. Conclusion: the level of suspected CMDs in the sample was well above those found in studies of professionals of the health and related fields, and the predictors revealed psychological distress and risk of evolution to severe psychiatric conditions.
