A qualidade de vida de quem cuida da saúde: a residência multiprofissional em análise

Abstract

Entering residency programs causes changes in the lifestyle of health professionals due to the presence of several stressors, such as intense demands, reduced time for social life, distancing from friends and family and few opportunities for recreation. The objective of this study was to analyze the quality of life of residents of an Integrated Multi-professional Program of a federal teaching hospital located in the state of Minas Gerais. The research method adopted was the survey, using the WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire, with a sample of 55 residents. The technique used for the analysis of all scales was univariate statistics, with measures of position and central tendency (mean) and data dispersion. The results show that residents tended to be more positive in the facets that refer to the low perception of pain and discomfort, followed by satisfaction with access to health services, satisfaction with housing conditions, enough money to meet needs and satisfaction with the support you receive from friends, while the perception of negativity is more strongly present in facets related to work ability satisfaction, feelings of enjoying life and having enough energy for everyday life. It is concluded that there is a need to monitor the emotional state of residents in order to prevent states of physical illness, depression and other socio-emotional dysfunctions.
