Objectives: To evaluate possible relationships between drug abuse, symptoms suggestive of depression and gender in nursing team professionals.

Method: A cross-sectional study conducted in a general hospital with 416 participants. Used questionnaire with sociodemographic information, ASSIST, AUDIT-C and PHQ-2 tests. Used Fisher's Exact Tests, Chi-Square Test, and Multivariate Logistic Regression Analysis.

Results: The female gender presented decreased odds ratios for alcohol consumption in the binge pattern and use of marijuana; and double odds ratios for feelings of lack of interest and pleasure. Symptoms suggestive of depression presented potential risks for the use of sedatives.

Conclusion: Drug abuse and symptoms of depression are associated and manifest differently, according to gender among nursing staff professionals.

Implications for practice: Social and gender roles influence the mental health conditions of these professionals.
