| Summary: | Aim: to evaluate the stress levels and the quality of life of professors from a federal institution of higher education. Method: A cross-sectional study, carried out with 35 professor from a Federal Institute in Rio de Janeiro, in december 2015. Participants were evaluated by the Lipp Adult Stress Symptom Inventory and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref questionnaire. Correlation between stress and quality of life was performed, and values of p<0.05 were considered significant. Results: It was verified that 46% of the sample have stress symptoms. The average quality of life of the professors was considered as regular. A moderate inverse correlation was observed between stress and quality of life (r=-0,5; p<0,03). Conclusions: A portion of the sample has stress symptoms and these can cause a worsening in quality of life. These symptoms may not be related to occupational factors only. |
