Abstract

Objective: to analyze the quality of life at work QoWL in the Family Health Strategy during the pandemic period and to identify suggestions for promoting quality of life in the work environment from the workers' point of view. Methods: quantitative study, carried out between October/2020 and June/2021 in the Primary Care Units of a Palmas, capital in Tocantins, Brazil. The sociodemographic profile, QoWL through the Quality of Working Life Questionnaire (QoWLQ-bref) and suggestions for its improvement were investigated. Results: the QoWL was satisfactory for 91.96% of the 112 participants, with medium to high levels in all domains. Those who did not consider work stressful achieved better QoWL. Of the 113 suggestions for promoting QoWL, aspects related to Working Conditions (29.19%) and Team Relationships (19.46%) stood out. Conclusion: despite the pandemic, most participants rated QoWL as satisfactory. Workers' suggestions can collaborate to maintain and improve QoWL, protecting workers' health.
