Abstract

Objective: To assess the quality of life of the nursing staff in the operating room at work in a Public Hospital. Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional, exploratory, quantitative research, developed with 43 nursing professionals working in the operating room of a public regional hospital in the Federal District, with the application of a questionnaire on sociodemographic data and a structured instrument and validated WHOQOL-Bref; statistical analysis was performed by distributing frequency and percentage, and calculating the mean per domain. Results: It is observed that all domains (Physical, Social Relations, Psychological and Environment/Professional) included in the questionnaire had low results, detecting that the quality of life of the participants in all analyzed aspects is below satisfactory levels. Conclusion: There is a considerable impact on the environment and professional domain, highlighting that the valuation of the nursing team and the health of these workers still need to go a long way to reach desirable levels.
