Continued training, quality of life and prevalence of osteomuscular symptoms in teachers of basic education

Abstract: 

The purpose of this descriptive, quantitative and cross - sectional study is to compare the scores of Osteomuscular Disturbances (DM) presented by 48 Basic Education teachers who participate in a continuing education program with previous studies. The data were collected through the application of the Nordic Osteomuscular Symptom Questionnaire (QNSO). While in the previous surveys between 48% and 93% of the teachers presented the DM, in the current study 26% expressed the problem, evidencing the relevance of a continuous education guided by a conception articulated to the needs of the context of action and the valorization of the professional protagonism.
