Calidad de vida de los docentes de educación superior: una revisión sistemática (Quality of life of higher education teachers: a systematic review)

This systematic review aimed to map the published articles on the quality of life of teachers working in higher education courses. Original articles were searched from the following electronic databases: Lilacs; Science web; Proquest; Scielo; and Science Direct, without delimitation of temporal scope. After the selection of the studies, the analysis was performed through categories and absolute frequency (QSR NVIVO). The information displayed reveals that research on the quality of life of higher education teachers is incipient in the literature, despite being growing in the last decade (2009 to 2019) and university teachers from the South and Southeast regions of Brazil were the most studied. Whoqol has been the recommended tool for research of the theme and the population highlighted in this review. A general perception analysis shows that the documents positively evaluate their quality of life and the psychological domains, social relations and environment, while the physical domain was evaluated in some regular research.
