- Abstract
Considering the stressful context of medical students' life, this study purposed to quantify the quality of life and sleep in this group, and the impact of physical activity in these indicators. This is a cross-sectional study, witch 365 academics answered the questionnaires: World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, International Physical Activity Questionnaire and a socio-demographic prepared by the authors. There was a difference in the mean overall quality of life score (P < 0.01), but there was no distinction in the domains apart. There was also a difference (P < 0.01) in the mean scores of sleep quality among the graduation years, and the sixth was the worst one. There was a significant correlation (r > 0.3) between the quality of life and sleep in the global sample. There was no evidence of an association between a number of minutes spent on physical activity and better quality of life or sleep. Medical academics have a poorer quality of life at the beginning and end of the course. The last year is associated with poorer overall sleep quality. Contrary to the expected, no positive correlation between the practice of physical activity, life and sleep quality was verified.
