Abstract

It aimed to analyze the Quality of Life (QL) of 89 nurses, 14 physical therapists and 6 nutritionists at a teaching hospital. Data collection was carried out between August and October 2005 by means of WHOQOL - bref. Data were submitted to statistic tests contemplating: sample features and QL, grouped in domains as follows: physical, psychological, social relation and environment. Among the results, it stands out: female sex (94.50%); age between 20 and 35 years old (85.32%); (80.74%) postgraduates; (44,03%) with double or triple working shifts. Total scores of the QL features, in three professional categories, presented averages over the line of neutrality or indifference with a trend to positive valueing.
