Abstract

The Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) of university professors is influenced by the work environment and its particularities. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the HRQOL of professors of a Medicine course in Maranhão. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, with statistical analysis using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences® software. The variables are presented using descriptive statistics. Data analysis was carried out using univariate analysis, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Chi-square and Fisher's exact test and Spearman correlation. Thus, the socioeconomic profile of medical professors was mostly male; from 31 to 40 years old; married; 1 to 3 children; income of 8 to 16 minimum wages; nurses; stricto sensu qualification; 11 to 20 years of graduation; physically active and with good nutrition; 40-hour work week. The general quality of life was satisfactory for the majority of teachers with higher professional qualifications. However, social relationships are impaired in those with unsatisfactory perceptions about quality of life, impacting the physical and psychological aspects of teachers. It is concluded that teaching work in the medical course has peculiarities that directly impact the perceptions of professionals' quality of life.
