“…(3) According to the World Health Organization, quality of life is the individuals perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns. (4) Thus, knowing the quality of life of community health workers is essential, since it is crucial to seek improvements in health and working conditions of these professionals.

Objective: To investigate the quality of life of community health workers and associate the results with socioeconomic variables. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted with 153 Community Health Workers of the Brazilian Northeast region active workers in December 2014. We used self-report instrument composed of sociodemographic profile and the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire. To determine the domains of the SF-36, mean and standard deviation, the Mann-Whitney test was used, with a 0.05 significance level. Results: Most agents were women (80.4%) aged 42 years (±8.01); 64.1% who worked in that position for at least 10 years. The Bodily Pain and General Health Perception domains were the most affected ones. In the first domain, the low rates of means were associated with women over forty years old, less than twelve years of study and more than ten years as a Community Health Worker. In the second domain, the lowest mean levels were associated with women living with more than four people in the household. Conclusion: We detected a loss in quality of life of community health workers, demonstrating low means in the investigated areas, with lower scores for Pain and General Health Perceptions. Several socioeconomic factors interfere with the health and quality of life of workers, as being female, aged over 40, low education level, higher family composition and greater working time.

Objective:To quantify attitudes toward disabilities, perceived by persons with disabilities (PWDs) treated at a university hospital in Brazil, as well as to determine whether PWD-perceived attitudinal barriers correlate with various factors. Methods This was a cross-sectional, observational study of PWDs who completed the Attitudes to Disability Scale for persons with physical disabilities (ADS-D), which quantifies the perceived attitudinal barrier, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Functional Independence Measure (FIM). The data were correlated with sex, income, depression, FIM score, type of disability and time since the onset of disability. Results: We evaluated 68 patients - 50.0% with a spinal cord injury, 38.2% with one or more amputated limbs and 11.8% with hemiplegia - of whom 66.2% were male, with a mean age of 39.33 ± 12.89 years, a mean of 10.95 ± 4.25 years of schooling, a median time since the onset of disability of 20.5 months (range, 10.5–33.5 months) and a median FIM score of 110.5 (range, 94–116.5). Of the 68 patients, 55.9% perceived their income to be below the national average, and depression was observed in 11.76%. The mean ADS-D total score (61.29 ± 8.75) did not correlate with sex, functionality, type of disability or time since the onset of disability. The perceived magnitude of the attitudinal barrier correlated with income (β-coefficient: −3.91; p = 0.001) and depression (β = −1.74; p < 0.0001). Conclusion: Attitudinal barriers are influenced by income as a facilitator of inclusion and by depression as a barrier to inclusion.
