The Quality of Work Life Assessment Questionnaire (QWLQ-bref) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) were used. Results: A strong negative correlation was identified between Emotional Exhaustion and the Physical/Health, Professional and Total Quality of Life Score at work; and moderate negative correlation between Depersonalization and all domains of Quality of Work Life. Professional Achievement showed a moderate positive correlation with the Psychological and Personal domains and with the Total Quality of Work Life Score.
