“…HRQL is here defi ned as the impact of a health condition on aspects that affect quality of life. 20 The present study aimed to evaluate working conditions associated with HRQL among nursing providers. We tried to verify the following hypotheses: (i) that differences in these perceptions are associated to different nursing categories; (ii) that the combined assessment of psychosocial stressors, in terms of demand and control and effort and reward at work, can provide better explanations on the association between nurses' perception about working conditions and HRQL.…”

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate working conditions associated with health-related quality of life (HRQL) among nursing providers. METHODS:Cross-sectional study conducted in a university hospital in the city of São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil, during 2004Brazil, during -2005. The study sample comprised 696 registered nurses, nurse technicians and nurse assistants, predominantly females (87.8%), who worked day and/or night shifts. Data on sociodemographic information, working and living conditions, lifestyles, and health symptoms were collected using self-administered questionnaires. The following questionnaires were also used: Job Stress Scale, Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) and Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). Ordinal logistic regression analysis using proportional odds model was performed to evaluate each dimension of the SF-36. RESULTS:Around 22% of the sample was found to be have high strain and 8% showed an effort-reward imbalance at work. The dimensions with the lowest mean scores in the SF-36 were vitality, bodily pain and mental health. High-strain job, effort-reward imbalance (ERI>1.01), and being a registered nurse were independently associated with low scores on the role emotional dimension. Those dimensions associated to mental health were the ones most affected by psychosocial factors at work. CONCLUSIONS:Effort-reward imbalance was more associated with health than high-strain (high demand and low control). The study results suggest that the joint analysis of psychosocial factors at work such as effort-reward imbalance and demand-control can provide more insight to the discussion of professional roles, working conditions and HRQL of nursing providers. Psychosocial and work organization factors have been special objects of interest of study and interventions in the light of the precarious and unstable relationship between work and production, 19 the nature of illnesses among workers, and a growing concern with people's well-being and quality of life.Psychosocial factors at work are associated to the interaction between environment and working conditions, job duties and individual worker characteristics taking into account all their features and demands, including those outside the work environment. Workers' health and work performance are affected by these interactions and their experience. 11 Studies with populations of workers have suggested that psychosocial stressors such as high psychological strain, lack of control and social support, high effort and reward at work and overcommitment can be associated RESUMO OBJETIVO: Avaliar condições de trabalho associadas à qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde entre profi ssionais de enfermagem.

“…O termo qualidade de vida é de difícil conceituação, e ainda não se chegou a um consenso sobre ele, apesar dos debates nas últimas décadas [7][8][9][10] . Mesmo com as dificuldades conceituais, é crescente o interesse e a ênfase de muitos autores sobre a necessidade e a importância da avaliação da qualidade de vida, inclusive na área da saúde [9][10] .…”

ResumoIntrodução: O objetivo deste artigo foi avaliar a qualidade de vida de acadêmicos de graduação em Enfermagem de uma universidade pública do Estado do Paraná, correlacionar com variáveis sociodemográficas, e comparar os acadêmicos do primeiro e quarto anos do curso. Método: Estudo descritivo, transversal e com abordagem quantitativa. Participaram 34 acadêmicos do primeiro ano (89,5%) e 33 acadêmicos do quarto ano (100%), que responderam ao questionário WHOQOL-bref da Organização Mundial da Saúde, além de informações complementares. Resultados: Os acadêmicos pesquisados eram predominantemente mulheres, jovens, solteiras, com renda per capita média familiar mensal de mais de um salário mínimo, procedentes de outras cidades e residiam com a família ou em república/pensionato. Considerando todos os acadêmicos, o maior escore médio de qualidade de vida foi para o domínio físico (72,7 + 13,1), e o menor para o domínio meio ambiente (60,7 + 12,7). Na correlação com variáveis sociodemográficas, apenas o sexo apresentou correlação com a qualidade de vida, com maiores escores médios para os acadêmicos do sexo masculino nos domínios físico (79,9 + 9,8) e psicológico (77,6 + 6,3). Na análise comparativa entre os acadêmicos do primeiro e quarto anos, apesar das diferenças significativas para idade e renda, com o primeiro ano apresentando alunos mais jovens e com menor renda média familiar mensal em relação ao quarto ano, não houve diferença significativa nos domínios da qualidade de vida. Conclusão: Os resultados deste estudo sugerem que os acadêmicos de Enfermagem merecem atenção quanto à qualidade de vida, principalmente as mulheres nos aspectos físico e psicológico. Descritores: Qualidade de vida, estudantes de enfermagem, Organização Mundial da Saúde, estudos transversais.

Background: The evaluation of quality of life in cancer patients is of interest to researchers due to its impact on health policies. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life of patients with breast and gynecological cancer, undergoing chemotherapy. Methods and Findings:This was a quantitative, descriptive and longitudinal study, conducted in the Clinical Hospital of the Triangulo Mineiro Federal University. To assess the quality of life, the Portuguese brief version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHO-QOL-BREF) instrument was applied. The paired Student's t-test was used for the analysis of the means of/ the scores of the domains. The study included 14 women. The lowest means were observed in the physical domain, 51.78±15.89 and 50.25±15.37, respectively before and after treatment. There was also a compromise of the psychological and environment domains, however, the data analyzed did not show statistical significance. The main limitation of this study is the sample size.
