Quality of life for professionals working in a hospital environment is essential, since these are caregivers and they deal with the preservation and maintenance of life, and in many cases end up neglecting their own health. Therefore, the aim of this study was centered on verifying the perception of nursing technicians on their quality of life and satisfaction with their work. This research is characterized as a descriptive observational case study, with analysis and discussion of data using on the quantitative and qualitative paradigm. The study site was a hospital in the Vale dos Sinos (RS). The sample was composed of 49 nursing technicians. The results indicated that the nursing technicians are satisfied with their physical environment and their interpersonal relationships. The highest rates of dissatisfaction are related to low wages, which leads to the consequent necessity for more than one job, resulting in physical and emotional burden and, consequently, negative interference in quality of life.Downloads
