“…34 However, the creation of this concept, and consequently the instrument, was linked to a historical and cultural particularity of a region, with constant updates and new propositions for the concept of work-related quality of life. 44 Therefore, the systematic review and meta-synthesis by Pennisi et al 45 indicated that assessing the quality of life of Family Health Strategy professionals should include the following factors: working conditions, work processes, interpersonal relationships, personal aspects, work context, work overload and autonomy.…”

Over the last decades, Brazil has faced the challenge of changing the public healthcare model, i.e. to migrate from the Flexnerian model focused on procedures and specialized care to a comprehensive care model based on understanding the social determinants of health. 1,2 One of the crucial points in this change is to strengthen primary healthcare, for which the main operational strategy is the family health model. [3][4][5] This strategy makes it possible to expand access to healthcare services and implement actions towards comprehensive healthcare. 6,7 Expansion of this model has been associated with a 45% reduction in hospitalizations for conditions that are sensitive to resolution within primary healthcare, over a 15-year period. 5 Data from the Ministry of Health indicated that in 2019 there were 43,754 family health teams operating throughout the country. These teams were responsible for providing primary healthcare to 64.47% of the Brazilian population. 8 Family health work demands different skills for developing innovative community care practices, which makes the work complex and challenging. 9 Primary healthcare professionals present high prevalence (52.9%) of chronic stress associated with their work. 10 Analysis on this prevalence according to professional category shows that even higher prevalence can be observed: 54% among nurses and 67% among doctors. 11,12 However, studies conducted among Brazilian professionals in family health teams have shown lower prevalence of burnout syndrome, varying according to the region of Brazil. In one municipality in the northeastern region, the prevalence of professionals with medium and high levels of burnout was observed to be 37.9%. 13 In a municipality in southeastern Brazil, the prevalence of this syndrome reached 41.6%.

“…Research findings reported before the pandemic show that daily physical activity and occupational activity favourably impact people's mental condition [ 11 , 12 ]. Employment and the related benefits are recognised among the main determinants of the quality of life [ 13 ]. According to some authors, the ability to maintain one's job despite the pandemic reduces the risk of anxiety disorder and depression [ 1 , 14 ].…”

Objectives: The study assessed quality of life and depression in working people during COVID-19 pandemic, relative to their physical activity. Material and Methods: The study involved 1194 people living in south-eastern Poland, and assessed life satisfaction ( Life Satisfaction Questionnaire – 9 [LISAT-9]), quality of life ( World Health Organization Quality of Life – BREF [WHOQoL-BREF]), depression ( Beck Depression Inventory [BDI]) and physical activity. Results: The respondents on average scored 4.32 in LISAT-9; respectively 66.2, 68.3, 69.6 and 63.5 in physical, psychological, social and environment domains of WHOQoL-BREF and 9.2 in BDI. Regularly performed physical activity positively affected the scores in all the psychometric tests in women with higher and secondary education and in men with vocational education. Women presented lower life satisfaction, poorer quality of life and higher level of depression than men. The psychometric scores were also differentiated by type of employment and job. Depression was identified in 44% of all the respondents. Conclusions: Individuals who are economically active during the pandemic report good quality of life and no or only mild signs of depression. Working people with higher education cope more effectively with adversities of the pandemic, compared to those with lower education. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2023;36(2):274 – 90

“…These reviews focused on the quality of life for a specific category of professionals or a particular aspect of working life. For example, Pennisi et al [ 6 ] conducted a systematic review and meta‐synthesis study of six articles on the quality of life of family health professionals. Vasiliki et al [ 7 ] identified the factors that influence nurses' work‐related quality of life and included 26 studies in their systematic literature review.…”

Quality of life at work is an important and widely discussed concept in the literature. Several instruments can be used to measure it, but with regard to healthcare and social services, the existing instruments are not well known. A review of available instruments intending to capture the quality of life of healthcare and social services workers (QoLHSSW) is necessary to better assess their working conditions and promote programs/guidelines to improve these conditions. The aim of this study was to identify the existing instruments used in measuring QoLHSSW and explore their characteristics. Particular attention was given to instruments adapted to the province of Quebec, Canada, which enabled the determination of which instruments are adapted for the measurement of QoLHSSW in Quebec and possibly elsewhere. A systematic review of the literature was conducted according to the JBI methodological guide. The articles' selection procedure was performed according to the PRISMA flowchart. The search was conducted up to October 28, 2021, and then updated on January 25, 2023, in four databases: PsycINFO, Medline, Embase, and CINAHL. The selection and extraction were performed independently by two researchers. The analysis of the quality of the studies was performed with the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments. From a total of 8178 entries, 13 articles corresponding to 13 instruments were selected. Among these instruments, the common aspects that were considered were work conditions, job satisfaction, stress at work, relationship/balance, and career development. Most instruments used a 5-point Likert scale. Various validation methods were used, including reporting Cronbach's alpha for overall scale reliability;
