Abstract

GUERRERO PUPO, Julio C et al. Quality of life and work: some useful considerations to information professionals. ACIMED [online]. 2006, vol.14, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1024-9435.

A group of basic theoretical elements related to health and the quality of life of white-collar workers is studied. Concepts as health, quality of life, and healthy housing are defined. The health of the worker is analyzed in three dimensions: family, the working setting and environment. Subjective factors which influence on the quality of life of the workers are also dealt with. To improve the workers' quality of life, starting from the modifications of their negative out-of-work behaviors and from the contribution to a process of personal growth and consolidation of family values, is the means to achieve a strategic alliance among family, organization, and environment. From this perspective it is possible to aspire to an equitable health -health for all-, to add life to years -to improve the quality of life, to add years to life-to reduce the mortality rate, and to add health to life - to reduce the occupational disease

Keywords : Occupational health; information professionals; life quality; hygiene.
