Abstract

Objective: to identify the level of quality of life according to the occupational environment of the Prison Units. Method: Cross-sectional, qualitative, non-probabilistic research, with 104 participants, in the State of Maranhão, between June 2019 and July 2020. Results: Most participants are 84% male, where 63% have higher education. The quality of life domain had a better average of 54,7. While the occupational environment domain had the worst average of 35,8. When comparing the genders with the best scores in the 5 domains, there was equality between the two genders. Conclusion: The results demonstrate that prison officers have a good level of quality of life in all domains of the QVS-80. However, the occupational environment domain had the worst scores, proving to be a point that needs improvement, since these servers spend a good part of their lives in these places.
