Abstract

Objective: to evaluate the influence of the work ability on the quality of life of military firefighters. Method: a cross-sectional, population-based, census study, conducted from January to March 2015, with 101 firefighters from the Military Fire Brigade Group of municipalities in the South and Southwest of Bahia. Self-report instruments were used in the study to evaluate the sociodemographic and work characteristics, quality of life and work ability. Results: it was found that military firefighters with five years or less of service obtained better perceptions of quality of life in the physical and social relationships domains. Regarding the work ability, it was observed that workers with good and very good ability obtained better perceptions in the physical, psychological, social relationships and environment domains. Conclusion: the results can support interventions and improvements in the working conditions of rescue professionals such as firefighters, nurses and physicians.
