Resumo: Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic led to adaptations in educational settings, such as replacing in-person with online classes. Hence, teachers increased their screen time, posing a greater risk to their mental health, quality of life, and body posture. Objective: To assess and correlate the quality of life and body posture of higher education faculty during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This exploratory research initially contacted participants via digital invitations during the pandemic. Volunteers answered an online questionnaire with data on eligibility criteria and were later assessed regarding their quality of life (SF-36) and postural biomechanics (SAPO software). The variables in question were correlated regarding sex and age ranges with Spearman's correlation, setting the significance level at 5%. Results: The sample had 21 professors of both sexes, aged 26 to 62 years (mean age of 38.47 years; SD = 8.530). The females’ mean age was 40.27 years (SD = 8.47) and that of males was 33.83 years (SD = 7.38). Males had a greater correlation between cervical spine issues and mental and physical domains, while females had body posture changes and a moderate correlation mainly with physical quality-of-life domains. Conclusion: There was a correlation between body posture and quality of life in higher education faculty during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Em consequência, estar em maior tempo frente às telas aumentou o risco à saúde mental, à qualidade de vida e à postura corporal dos professores. Objetivo: Avaliar e correlacionar a qualidade de vida e a postura corporal de professores do ensino superior durante o período de pandemia de COVID-19. Métodos: Pesquisa exploratória na qual foi realizado contato inicial por meio de convites digitais durante a pandemia. Os voluntários responderam um questionário online com dados sobre critérios de elegibilidade e posteriormente foram avaliados quanto à qualidade de vida (SF-36) e biomecânica postural (software SAPO). Foram correlacionadas as variáveis em questão quanto ao sexo e à faixa etária, através da correlação de Spearman, sendo considerado nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: A amostra ficou constituída de 21 professores do ensino superior, de ambos os sexos e faixa etária entre 26 e 62 anos (média de idade de 38,47 anos e DP = 8,530). Entre as mulheres, a média de idade foi de 40,27 anos (DP = 8,47) e entre os homens foi de 33,83 anos (DP = 7,38). O sexo masculino apresentou maior correlação relacionada às questões de coluna cervical com domínios mentais e físicos, enquanto o feminino demonstrou alteração na postura corporal e correlação moderada principalmente com os domínios físicos da qualidade de vida. Conclusão: Houve correlação entre postura corporal e qualidade de vida de professores do ensino superior durante a pandemia de COVID-19.Editora PUCPRESS2023-07-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisio/article/view/3038310.1590/fm.2023.36122Fisioterapia em Movimento (Physical Therapy in Movement); Vol. 36 (2023): n. cont.Fisioterapia em Movimento; v. 36 (2023): n. cont.1980-5918reponame:Fisioterapia em Movimentoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná (PUC-PR)instacron:PUC_PRengporhttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisio/article/view/30383/26140https://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisio/article/view/30383/26141Copyright (c) 2023 PUCPRESSinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCordeiro, Andriélen Lactiane CoronelVivian, Gustavo JacobsenBusanello-Stella, Angela Ruviaro2023-12-04T14:30:26Zoai:ojs.periodicos.pucpr.br:article/30383Revistahttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisioPRIhttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisio/oairubia.farias@pucpr.br||revista.fisioterapia@pucpr.br1980-59180103-5150opendoar:2023-12-04T14:30:26Fisioterapia em Movimento - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná (PUC-PR)false
