[Nursing professionals and quality of life: an approach based on the dimensions proposed by Flanagan].
The present qualitative and quantitative study had the purposes to verify the meaning of quality of life to nursing professionals using Flanagan's Scale, to identify the quality of life dimensions that are most valued by those professionals and to explore the relations between the quality of life scores obtained by the professionals working at the STD/AIDS unit and at the neonatal ICU. The two groups showed similar results with respect to the meanings and the most valued dimension of quality of life. The total scores presented a positive evaluation of quality of life by the groups, although they showed a difference in the level of quality of life experienced by the two nursing teams.
