- Abstract
This study aimed better understand the Quality of Life among nurses who make up the family health teams of the Brazilian Health Macro-region of its Southern Triangle, as well as related socio-demographic factors. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. The universe, composed of 90 nurses, answered a questionnaire whose purpose was to identify influential socio-demographic variables and the generic instrument in assessing its WHOQOL-100 Quality of Life. The results indicate that compared to single people, married individuals had higher Quality of Life scores in psychological (p=0.013), independence (p=0.021), social (p=0.000), and environment (p=0.022). Those who reported poor health had lower scores in physical (p=0.000), psychological (p=0.002), and independence (p=0.000). The results show the negative impact of the weakened state of health in the areas of Quality of Life of nurses. This emphasizes the importance of health promotion, with the (re)definition of public policies for their Brazilian health professionals considered a necessity.
