Abstract
Objective:
To understand the meanings that health professionals of the Family Health Strategy attribute to quality of life in the workplace.
Method:
This is a qualitative, descriptive study with a qualitative-quantitative approach, performed with 123 health professionals. Data were collected between July and September 2014 and subsequently exposed to descriptive analysis and the Collective Subject Discourse (CSD) analysis method, with the aid of the QualiQuantsoft® software.
Results:
The meanings given to quality of life in the workplace include both subjective aspects and those associated with work conditions and interpersonal relationships. Issues related to work conditions were the most relevant, totaling 121 key expressions, followed by interpersonal relationships in the workplace with 72 expressions.
Conclusions:
Professionals provide subjective meanings and objectives to the quality of life in the workplace, apart from recognizing the interference that this has on user health care.
