Influence of Profession on Teachers' Quality of Life
Original language description
The aim of this study was to analyze the quality of life (QOL) of 142 primary school teachers and 145 .firemen-rescuers. To determine QOL we used a WHOQOL-BREFF questionnaire. Teachers' QOL was significantly lower in all four domains when compared with .firefighters' QOL; however, it did not differ statistically from the Czech population norms. Significantly lower compared to the norm was only teachers' satisfaction with their health. Our results showed a significant influence of profession, age and gender on QOL. The influence of subjectively perceived mental stress as a factor reducing the QOL was manifested only in teachers. The explanation for this difference in QOL could be predicting better physical and mental health of firefighters.
