Abstract

The purpose of this research is to describe the affectations of the quality of life of health personnel in times of COVID-19 at the Dr. Efrén Jurado López Hospital, in order to design strategies for prevention and overcoming of these effects. The study used a quantitative methodology and, through the adaptation of questionnaires that evaluate the factors involved in the alteration of the quality of life, it was possible to elaborate strategies for an intervention and improvement plan. Among the main results evidenced from the application of the instrument, there is a better quality of life among specialist physicians and nurses, while general practitioners have a regular quality of life. On the other hand, there is a significant relationship between the years of work and the frequency with which professionals have felt nervous or stressed. Likewise, there is a tendency for stress and occasional anxiety among the different ranges of years of work. Finally, there is evidence of an influence between weekly working hours and the frequency with which health professionals feel stressed at work.
