OBJECTIVE: estimate the prevalence of depression in patients seen in a psychosocial care center, identify the sociodemographic factors and nursing diagnoses associated with the outcome. METHOD: cross-sectional study, carried out between January and June 2018, in 370 medical records of patients treated, from 2002 to 2016, in a psychosocial care center in a municipality in the north of Minas Gerais, Brazil. With the aid of an instrument, clinical, sociodemographic and nursing diagnoses data were collected. Nursing diagnoses were validated by specialists with support for Risner's diagnostic reasoning. Descriptive, bivariate analysis and logistic regression were performed. RESULTS: of the 370 patients, 57 (15.4%) had depression. The majority (53.2%) were female and the average age was 36 years. The priority nursing diagnoses among patients with depression were: depressed mood (100%), crisis (68,4%), insomnia (45,6%) and risk of suicide (49,1%). The independent variables that significantly impacted the depression outcome were: female gender (p=0,012), insomnia (p=0,006) and risk of suicide (p<0,001). CONCLUSION: early identification of possible nursing factors and diagnoses associated with a person with depression may help in the implementation of accurate care for patients with this problem treated at a psychosocial care center.
