Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate quality of life and prevalence of dysphoria/depressive symptoms in nursing residents at a medical school in São Paulo, Brazil. An exploratory, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out, involving 68 nursing residents from the first and second year of residency from all specialty areas, by applying the Brazilian version of the quality of life questionnaire SF-36 (Medical Outcomes Study 36 - Item Short-Form Health Survey) and the Brazilian Version of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Aspects related to quality of life were at risk in the mental component of SF-36: emotional aspects, vitality and mental health. Dysphoria/depression were found in 27.9% of the nursing residents.
