Objective:
To analyze the relationship between work ability and psychosocial factors of professionals from the healthcare area.
Method:
Cross-sectional study with 197 healthcare professionals from a teaching hospital. The Work Ability Index and the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire III were applied. For data analysis, association tests and logistic regression models were used.
Results:
Most participants were female (60.9%) with an average age of 40.12±7.14 years. The participants' good/optimal ability to work was 75.1%. The independent factors associated with work ability were recognition, self-rated health, somatic stress, leisure, commitment to time and interaction between work commitment and physical activity.
Conclusion:
There was a reduction in the good/optimal work capacity of professionals who worked on the front line of care during the COVID-19 pandemic, with frequent exposure to psychosocial risks at work and of those who did not practice physical and leisure activities.
