Abstract

A nationwide opinion survey was applied, in which each physician was able to express his or her feelings, understanding and personal opinion in the context of quality of life at work and bioethics. A structured questionnaire with relevant topics was used, sent by the Informatics Department of the Federal Council of Medicine to the 95,022 valid e-mails registered, and 426 complete responses were obtained. There were negative manifestations; on average, more than 50% of the specific responses, which evidenced that the lack of quality of life at work acts negatively on the understanding and opinion of physicians on bioethics and the doctor-patient relationship, and not necessarily that this manifestation is materialized through their actions. There were responsive physicians who, through their responses, were able to demonstrate that a lack of quality of life at work can alter and deconstruct this relationship in the context of bioethics.
