“…[16] In Spain, researchers also observed that women had a significantly worse perception than a reference population in four dimensions of the QOL SF-36, especially in regard to mental health and social functioning. [7] Moreover, motor vehicle incidents have remained common as a safety concern for resident physicians due to fatigue and sleep deprivation. [17] These studies have consistently called for attention to both resident and emergency physicians because they tend to have prolonged working hours that could deteriorate their health and consequently impact their clinical performance if left unchecked.…”

Background:Quality of life in patients represents an important area of assessment. However, attention to health professionals should be equally important. The literature on the quality of life (QOL) of emergency physicians is scarce. This pilot study investigated QOL in emergency physicians in Germany.Materials and Methods:We conducted a cross-sectional study from January to June in 2015. We approached the German Association of Emergency Medicine Physicians and two of the largest recruitment agencies for emergency physicians in Germany and invited their members to participate. We used the WHO Q-BREF to obtain QOL scores in four domains that included physical, mental, social, and environmental health.Results:The 478 German emergency physicians included in the study held board certifications in general medicine (n = 40; 8.4%), anesthesiology (n = 243; 50.8%), surgery (n = 63; 13.2%), internal medicine (n = 81; 17.0%), or others (n = 51; 10.7%). The women surveyed tended to report a better QOL but worse general health than the men. Regarding specific domains, women scored worse in physical health, particularly energy during everyday work (relative risk ratio [RRR]: 1.98 [1.21–3.24]). Both men and women scored worse in psychological health than general health, particularly young women. Women were also more likely to view their safety (RRR: 1.87 [1.07–3.28]) and living place (RRR: 2.51 [1.10–5.73]) as being poor than their male counterparts.Conclusion:QOL in German prehospital emergency care physicians is satisfactory for the included participants; however, there were some negative effects in the psychological health domain. This is particularly obvious in young female emergency physicians.

“…Uma pesquisa com médicos residentes em Granada, Espanha, identificou escores de qualidade de vida mais baixos nas mulheres do que nos homens. As mulheres apresentavam também uma pior percepção da sua qualidade de vida do que os homens que executavam o mesmo trabalho [18]. O sexo feminino como variável preditora de pior qualidade de vida vem sendo justificado por ser a mulher mais cuidadosa e atenta, e possuir uma visão mais crítica, além de preocupar-se e dedicar-se mais à sua saúde [6].…”

“…Este resultado do presente estudo é importante quando se leva em conta que nos últimos anos a medicina no Brasil vem passando por uma mudança demográfica, com uma tendência consolidada de feminização da profissão médica [19]. Enfatiza-se esse contexto demográfico relacionado à qualidade de vida, já que o envolvimento das profissionais médicas é que deve garantir o futuro da saúde da população [18].…”

Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. The survey was conducted using a census, during which all medical residents were interviewed. Two questionnaires were applied: one containing sociodemographic and occupational data and the World Health Organization Quality of Life -Bref (WHOQOL-Bref), which assesses quality of life. A parametric statistical analysis was used, including interval scale, Scheffé analysis of variance, and chi-square test. A p<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: A total of 84 medical residents with a mean age of 29.8±3.6 years were interviewed. Fifty-four (64.3%) were female and 53 (63.1%) were single. Thirty-eight were attending the first year, 39 were in the second year, and seven were in the third year of residency. The weekly workload showed an average of 63.19±11.30 hours and 56 (66.7%) reported having a job besides the residency program. A score of 3.44±0.54 was obtained for the overall quality of life, 3.51±0.61 for the physical domain, 3.43±0.63 for the psychological domain, 3.42±0.80 for social relations, and 3.39±0.54 for environment. The perception about quality of life showed a score of 2.99±1.00 whereas that of personal satisfaction with health was equal to 3.04±1.17. Men had a higher score for overall quality of life (mean of 3.64) than women (mean of 3.32) (p=0.005). A significant difference between male and female residents was also observed in the physical domain (p=0.005) and in the psychological one (p=0.004), in which women had lower scores (means of 3.8 and 3.7, respectively) than men (means of 4.3 and 4.2, respectively). Conclusions:The overall quality of life assessment yielded a good mean, and all domains were included under this classification. Selfassessment demonstrated regular perception about the residents' own quality of life. Being a female was a predictor of worse overall quality of life and worse scores in the physical and psychological domains.KEY WORDS: internship and residency; residency, medical; quality of life; mental health.

“…En este sentido, estos médicos representan un grupo potencialmente vulnerable a problemas de estrés, burnout y riesgos psicosociales, sobre todo en entornos donde la necesidad de respuesta inmediata es inherente al puesto 3 . Una parte importante de la investigación se ha centrado preponderantemente en la evaluación del burnout 4 sin evaluar otros constructos como el estrés, la calidad de vida en función de la salud 5 o los riesgos psicosociales asociados al puesto de trabajo, así como la posible predicción de los mismos o la relación entre ellos. Quienes más han profundizado en el tema han relacionado variables sociodemográficas como el número de guardias con mayores niveles de burnout 6 .…”
