Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate QOL and its implications for health care providers specialized in orthopedics. METHODS: In this quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study two questionnaires, World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-100) and sociodemographic, were sent to 117 orthopedic surgeons, with 29 doctor's response. Statistical analysis was performed using three different tests: Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Student t-test, and Pearson's linear correlation. The tests were applied with a reliability of 95%. RESULTS: Twenty-nine orthopedic surgeons responded to the questionnaire. The studied variables regarding domains were age and employment duration, which have a positive relationship with the environment and social relationships domains; income, which positively influences the level of independence and environment domains; and workload, which negatively influences the psychological domain. CONCLUSION: Orthopedic physicians had high scores in the WHOQOL-100 domains and, in their perception, good quality of life had higher scores compared to other professions. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a QV e suas implicações nos agentes promotores de saúde especializados em ortopedia. MÉTODOS: Estudo quantitativo-descritivo, de corte transversal, com envio do questionário World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-100) e questionário sociodemográfico a 117 ortopedistas, com resposta de 29 médicos. Na análise estatística dos dados, foram aplicados três testes estatísticos distintos: o teste de Análise de Variância (Anova); o teste t de Student e o de correlação linear de Pearson. Os testes foram aplicados com uma confiabilidade de 95%. RESULTADOS: Responderam ao questionário 29 ortopedistas, observando-se que as variáveis estudadas com relação aos domínios foram: idade e tempo de trabalho, onde há uma relação positiva com os domínios relações sociais e ambiente; domínio renda, que influencia positivamente nos domínios nível de independência e ambiente; e carga horária de trabalho, que influencia negativamente na dimensão psicológica. CONCLUSÃO: Os médicos ortopedistas apresentaram altos escores nos domínios do WHOQOL-100 e, em sua percepção, boa qualidade de vida, obtendo escores superiores em relação a outras profissões.
