Resumo
Various studies show the high frequency of malingering when applying for temporary incapacity, and poor training to detect it. Using a descriptive and retrospective study, this work aims to basically address the phenomenon of distortion in medical assessment of disability by reviewing the first 100 medical discharges issued by a medical assessor of the Instituto Nacional de la Seguridad Social [National Social Security Institute] (INSS). Following the analysis of the data, the description of the sample shows that that directly paid and "white collar” workers have a higher frequency of moderate and marked distortion. However, the Special Agricultural Scheme revealed the presence of the highest marked distortion, with 10 out of 14 cases (71%, p < .001 with Fisher's F), but this did not occur in the unemployed workers, who present only 22% of marked distortion, and its distribution is no different from that of the group as a whole. The need for training for the medical evaluation of disability in malingering and distortion of symptoms are discussed and recommended.
