Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic changed face-to-face work to Home Office work. The working population may present musculoskeletal complaints resulting from Cumulative Trauma Disorders, which are by definition a work-related phenomenon, and other risk factors. Aim: Characterization of musculoskeletal complaints and identify the impact of quality of life on Home Office workers during the pandemic. Methods: The sample consisted of 13 school administrative sector employees of a private university and data collection occurred through the “Microsoft Forms” platform. The form had: sociodemographic questions; questions about musculoskeletal complaints (Nordic Questionnaire of Musculoskeletal Symptoms) and measurement of quality of life (SF-36). Sociodemographic data and the SF-36 were analyzed using simple descriptive statistics. For the NQMS, the Mann-Whitney test was used. For the association between the questionnaires (NQMS and SF-36), simple linear regression was used, by calculating the R-square (in percentage). Results: The mean age of participants was 48.1 (± 8.34) years, with 100% prevalence of women. The analysis of the NQMS responses reveals the presence of complaints in the regions of the spine, upper and lower limbs, with the lumbar and dorsal spine being the most reported in the seven days with 77.77% and 75% respectively. In the comparison between symptoms in the last 7 days and 12 months of the QNSO, there was an increase in symptoms in the neck, dorsal, lumbar, shoulders, elbows, hips/thighs and ankles/feet, but it was not statistically significant (p=0.39). The Physical Functioning and Role-Physical domains had the highest scores and the Vitality domain had the lowest score. The association of the Pain domain with the neck, dorsal and shoulders regions is highlighted (p<0.05), that is, the presence of pain in these regions decreases the score in this domain. There was also a positive and statistically significant association in the Physical Functioning and General Health Perception domains, with more than 50% of association with the knee region, which associated the absence of knee complaints with the best quality of life measured in these domains. Conclusion: This study reveals that the regions of the cervical, dorsal and lumbar spine, shoulders, wrists/hands were the most prevalent in the issue of musculoskeletal pain and showed an increase in discomfort in these regions between the beginning of the pandemic and after a period of a year in this atypical situation and the quality of life of the participants did not suffer negative impacts.
