- Abstract
Aim: to analyze the quality of life and factors associated with it among disabled retired public workers of a public university. Method: this is an epidemiological study, featuring an observation-analysis, and a transversal, quantitative approach. The sample is composed of 59 disabled public employees who retired between 2000 and 2014. The data was collected through a questionnaire of socio-demographic characteristics and the SF-36v2 form in order to evaluate the retirees' quality of life. For the quantitative variables, the evaluations of absolute and relative frequencies, measurements of central trends, and variability were observed. The Mann-Whitney test, Chi-square test, and Wilcoxon W test were used due to the asymmetrical distribution of the variables found. The level of statistical significance was determined to be p<0.05. Expected Results: this study will provide support to personnel management in order to implement policies for the promotion of health, illnesses prevention, and the reduction of injuries; as a result, a decrease in the rate of early retirement, higher productivity in the labor market, an improvement in self-esteem, and the decline in retirement fund expenses are expected.
