To investigate the impact of psychosocial aspects on the quality of life of teachers from municipal schools in Natal, Brazil.
descriptive study with a cross-sectional design and a sample of 242 elementary school teachers. We used the WHOQOL-bref to assess the quality of life as well as questions about the level of control and the psychological demand of work from the Job Content Questionnaire.
the overall evaluation of quality of life showed that the physical and environmental domains had the lowest mean scores. According to the psychosocial aspects, most of the subjects (67 individuals = 32.1%) were characterized as having active work (high demand and control), followed by 54 teachers (25.8%) with demanding work (high demand and little control). These two groups have shown to be more affected in the assessment of physical (p < 0.001), psychological (p < 0.001), and environment (p < 0.001) domains of quality of life.
Teachers who had tasks characterized as active and demanding were more affected in the quality of life domain. This finding suggests the need for greater investment in health-promotion policies among teachers.
调查社会心理因素对巴西纳塔尔市公立学校教师生活质量的影响。
采用横断面设计的描述性研究，样本为242名小学教师。我们使用世界卫生组织生活质量简表（WHOQOL-bref）评估生活质量，并使用工作内容问卷中关于工作控制水平和心理需求的问题。
生活质量的总体评估显示，身体和环境领域的平均得分最低。根据社会心理因素，大多数受试者（67人=32.1%）的工作特点为积极工作（高需求和高控制），其次是54名教师（25.8%）的工作要求高（高需求和低控制）。这两组在生活质量的身体（p<0.001）、心理（p<0.001）和环境（p<0.001）领域的评估中受影响更大。
工作任务具有积极和高要求特点的教师在生活质量方面受影响更大。这一发现表明需要在教师中加大对健康促进政策的投入。
