The working day in relation to the time they got up and went to sleep, was between 15 and 18 hours a day. Half of the patients did domestic work with family help.

The majority of patients suffered from stress, depression, and/or anxiety, due to problems. The present study reveals the relation between socioeconomic and psychosocial factors with the development of DMT2. Key words: Self-perception of difficulty reaching the end of the month, domestic violence, reproductive role, productive role, economic resource providers, service provider at home.
