- Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the aspects associated with the quality of life (QoL) of basic education teachers of public schools of Viçosa, MG, checking for relationships to the economic class. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted between March and October 2013 with 156 teachers of the city of Viçosa, MG. We applied the World Health Organization Quality of Life/BREF and the Criterion of Economic Classification questionnaires. We also used a questionnaire on the length of employment and the weekly workload. To compare the QoL domains between economic classes, we used the one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey. For all treatments, significance level was set at p<0.05. Results: The participants had a mean age of 43.88 (+10.61) years, weekly workload of 29.00 (+10.35) hours and length of employment of 16.17 (+8.91) years. The majority of participants belonged to economic class B1/B2, accounting for 60.3%. The mean score of overall QoL was 68.43 (+11.69) points, with higher values for the "social relationships" and "physical" domains. There was a reduction in the mean for the "environment" domain in relation to the lower economic class (p=0.011) was found. There was a weak and inverse correlation between "social relationships" domain and the weekly workload (r=-0.16; p=0.031). Conclusion: The QoL of the study population was considered between regular and good, taking into account the protocol scale. There was an association only between the "environment" domain and the economic class.
