Qualidade de vida e morbidade referida de mulheres produtivamente ativas

Abstract

Introducción: Morbilidad referida, hábitos de vida y calidad de vida es una tríada que parece estar alineada y ha sido poco explorada en el contexto de vida de las mujeres. <br /><br />Este estudio tuvo como objetivo verificar el índice de calidad de vida de mujeres productivamente activas y asociarlo con la morbilidad referida y hábitos de vida. <br /><br />Método: Estudio descriptivo, analítico, transversal. La muestra se constituyó de 121 mujeres que trabajan en una institución de salud de la ciudad de São Paulo, Brasil. Para medir la calidad de vida se utilizó el instrumento de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, WHOQOL-BREF. . <br /><br />Resultados: La calidad de vida general de las mujeres por la media total de los marcadores (63,7) puede ser considerada buena. El dominio con peor media fue el ambiental (54,6). Hubo diferencia estadísticamente significativa en la comparación entre las mujeres que refirieron o no problemas de salud (p=0,035) y entre las mujeres que sienten o no dolor en el dominio físico (p=0,001) y en el general (p=0,003). No hubo asociación entre la calidad de vida y los hábitos de salud. <br /><br />Conclusión: Los hábitos de salud no interfirieron en la calidad de vida en esta muestra y que las morbilidades referidas y el dolor interfirieron negativamente en la calidad de vida de esas mujeres. <br /><br />

Association between job satisfaction and workers' quality of life in a public maternity hospital in the far north of Brazil

“…The general quality of life of WHML servers was from regular to good, with an average of 65.62 (±12.45). This score is similar to the study on the quality of life of female hospital workers in São Paulo, whose average was 64.4 (±12), 24 but the respondents had associated morbidities. Among emergency room workers, the overall average quality of life was lower 53.62 (±21.36).…”

“…9 The results obtained in the WHML for this domain were similar to those of workers of a hospital in the Southeast of Brazil, whose participants had musculoskeletal symptoms, which may influence the autonomy and independence to perform daily activities, at work or home. 24 In the other direction, the most highly rated domain in the present study was social relations, with an average of 70.31 (±16.38). This domain involves personal relationships inside and outside work, family support, and social relationships in general.…”

“…Among nursing workers in a hospital in São Paulo, the average was 75.0 (±18.6), despite the reported comorbidities. 24 The domain of social relations may be influenced by gender, as it has a statistical association with females. 27 The female representation in the WHML was high, 82.4%, a fact that may have contributed to the higher score in the social relation's domain.…”

Mulheres detentas do Recife-PE: saúde e qualidade de vida

“…Conversely, a study conducted with women prisoners in Ceará showed different results, since the majority of the women had undergone preventive exams within the previous year. 16 The QoL scores of the detainees, overall and in the different domains, were lower than those identified in other studies [25][26][27][28][29] that used the same instrument. When comparing the results of the present study with those of studies carried out with healthy women, or even with women affected by serious illnesses, the inmates' QoL mean scores were significantly lower, demonstrating the negative impact of the prison situation on the women's lives.…”

“…The mean of the overall QoL of the inmates was 46, while the mean was not lower than 55.2 in any other study, with the same trend for the domain scores. [25][26][27][28][29] Prison influenced the women's perception of their QoL, with significantly negative results for those that reported health problems and that lacked or had impaired sleep.…”
