To evaluate health related quality of life among resident physicians performing shifts at an emergency department. Material andMethods:
Seventy one physicians aged 26,3 ± 1,7 years (47 women), working as residents in an emergency department, answered the short version of the Short-Form Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36®). This questionnaire analyses eight domains physical function, body pain, general health, vitality, social function, emotional role and mental health.Results:

Women working as residents in an emergency department have a worse perception of their quality of life than men performing the same job.Palavras-chave
