Abstract

Quality of working life (QWL) refers to a process that seeks to humanize the work environment, requiring an agreement between employers and workers on tasks and work environments, both physical and social. This concept goes beyond salary, encompassing dimensions such as identity, sense of belonging and social recognition, which directly influences people's quality of life. A narrative bibliographic review on the topic was conducted with the aim of investigating the concepts and research background on the evaluation of quality of working life and healthy lifestyles in nursing professionals. Quality of working life has become a topic of great importance internationally, especially in the context of a global labor crisis. In this scenario, job insecurity is increasing and the working conditions that have been achieved over the last two centuries are threatened, largely due to global capitalism. Studies on this topic suggest an interrelationship that could impact both the health of staff and the quality of patient care. Furthermore, the lack of healthy habits, such as physical activity and good nutrition, contributes to work-related stress in the nursing field, burnout syndrome and a negative perception of quality of life
