Nível de atividade física e percepção da qualidade de vida dos servidores técnico-administrativos do CCS do Campus I - João Pessoa da UFPB

Abstract

More than 40% of the adult Brazilian population is physically inactive, which is one of the risk factors for the development of several diseases. The regular practice of physical activity - PA is efficient in increasing the productivity of workers, reducing errors in work activities, as well as reducing absences and the requirement to present sick note. Knowing the current outlook is necessary to base programs that aim to promote and encourage the regular practice of PA and improve the quality of life of public servants. Therefore, the present study aimed to analyze the level of physical activity and the perceived quality of life of the TAEs public servants of the UFPB CCS. This is a cross-sectional, descriptive research with a quantitative approach carried out with a sample of 25 TAEs public servants from the UFPB CCS. Through an online form (google forms), the level of physical activity was inquired, estimated through the International Physical Activity Questionnaire - IPAQ in the short version and the perception of the quality of life through the WHOQOL-bref questionnaire. It was found that 92% of the public servants practice physical activity at a moderate or high level and only 8% are insufficiently active. The perception of general quality of life was classified as good, with a score of 70.46, with emphasis on the physical domain with a score of 75.15. It is concluded that policies and programs aimed at improving the quality of life of the UFPB CCS public servants should revolve around the elements that make up the domains that presented the lowest score, those related to the environment, psychological and social relations.
