Nursing professionals play an active role in Mobile Urgent Care Services (Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência-SAMU). Together with other staff members they are responsible for providing high-quality care to patients. However, they are exposed to extreme pressure and emotional overload, which might impair their biopsychological balance and quality of life.
To investigate the quality of life of prehospital care nursing professionals.
Cross-sectional descriptive study with quantitative approach conducted from April through June 2017 at a SAMU in the northwestern area of the state of Ceara, Brazil. The target population was SAMU nursing professionals, namely, 8 nurses and 11 nursing technicians. Data collection was performed by means of an instrument which contained two quality of life assessment scales, the Flanagan scale and World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-bref).
The domains with the poorest scores on the Flanagan scale were physical and material well-being and social activities. On WHOQOL-bref, the domains with the lowest mean scores were physical health, environment and self-assessed quality of life.
The SAMU nursing professionals were predominantly female and married, their average age was 37 years old, had attended undergraduate education at least, and worked 71.88 (±17.50) hours per week. The results point to the need to implement actions to improve the quality of life of this population of workers.
护理专业人员在移动紧急护理服务（SAMU）中发挥着积极作用。他们与其他工作人员共同负责为患者提供高质量的护理。然而，他们面临着极大的压力和情感负担，这可能会损害他们的生物心理平衡和生活质量。
调查院前护理专业人员的生活质量。
2017年4月至6月在巴西塞阿拉州西北部地区的一家SAMU进行了一项采用定量方法的横断面描述性研究。目标人群是SAMU护理专业人员，即8名护士和11名护理技术员。通过一种包含两种生活质量评估量表（弗拉纳根量表和世界卫生组织生活质量量表简表（WHOQOL-bref））的工具进行数据收集。
弗拉纳根量表上得分最差的领域是身体和物质福祉以及社会活动。在WHOQOL-bref量表上，平均得分最低的领域是身体健康、环境和自我评估的生活质量。
SAMU护理专业人员以女性且已婚为主，平均年龄为37岁，至少接受过本科教育，每周工作71.88（±17.50）小时。结果表明需要采取行动来提高这群工作人员的生活质量。
