This study analyzed the quality of life of psychology undergraduates from a private Higher Education Institution in Sobral/CE during the COVID-19 pandemic period (2020-2021). Not only study their quality of life, but also explore the ways they use or not to take care of themselves during this period, and investigate the relationship of these students with their own educational institution. For this, a socio-demographic questionnaire and an interview built from the WHOQOLBREF quality of life scale (by World Health Organization) were used. Data were analyzed with dialogic thematic analysis, in which the quality of life and its domains (physical, psychological, social and, environmental), served as the theme and the subthemes to be analyzed and related to theoretical data. We then obtained the result that the participants were affected in quality of life with regard to the quality of sleep, food and also had a weakening in some social relationships. However, we also perceived spirituality, and social relationships themselves as protective factors during the pandemic period. It is therefore concluded that quality of life is a broad topic, and that it was affected in different ways during the pandemic period, both negatively and positively, which highlights the importance of further studies in the area.
