Repercussões da vida pessoal e profissional na qualidade de vida da mulher educadora: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

This study analyzes the scientific literature and addresses the quality of life of female educators in their personal and professional contexts. To do so, it takes as main theoretical references the conception of gender, the issue of being a woman educator, thus showing which factors most affect positively or negatively their health, quality of life and performance at work. An integrative review was carried out in the database of the Portal de Periódicos da Capes using as descriptors: woman, educator and quality of life. The search resulted in 16 selected articles, 9 of which were Brazilian, 3 in Spanish, 4 in English, with a smaller number of foreign articles due to the choice of platform to prioritize national studies. The analysis resulted in the division of 3 categories, namely, category 1 - Impacts of teaching on women's quality of life, citing what impacts and how it interferes with the educator's quality of life, both professionally and personally. Category 2 - What is quality of life and how can it be measured? conceptualizing the quality of life and how it happens and how it is situated in the studies and Category 3 - Potentialities and weaknesses of being a woman educator, where it is mentioned about inherent issues of the woman educator. Highlighting questions about the paradigms that permeate women's lives, both personally and professionally, and how they can affect their quality of life, citing issues inherent in being a woman educator in today's society. As a result, it highlights the working conditions, the workload and especially the importance of a support network as influencers in the quality of life of the woman educator, relating it to the wrong view that society still has about being a woman and being an educator .
