Quality of Life in Unemployed teachers of a UGEL in North Lima; [Calidad de vida en docentes desempleados de una UGEL de Lima Norte]

Abstract

Most people with chronic diseases such as arterial hypertension, consider it as a disease that will not unbalance their lifestyle, although over time the quality of life will decrease if they do not perform their adequate therapeutic regimen, so the research objective is to determine the quality of life in unemployed teachers of a UGEL in North Lima. It is a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study, with a total population of 127 participants in the study, who answered a virtual survey of sociodemographics aspects and the questionnaire of quality of life in arterial hypertension. In their results we observed that 8,7 % (n=11) had a high quality of life, 79,5 % (n=101) median quality of life and 11,8 % (n=15) low quality of life. Therefore, it is concluded that the promotion of the quality of life of patients with hypertension should be taken into account, because there are multiple factors that can put the person at risk if the disease has high levels. © 2024; Los autores.
