BackgroundIndividuals' quality of working life and motivation are directly related to their satisfaction and wellbeing. Although studies on the quality of life of family health workers have been conducted, there are none correlating these professionals' wellbeing with this work model.ObjectiveTo review the scientific literature in order to identify the levels of quality of life, in their dimensions, of Family Health Strategy workers.Design And SettingSystematic review of observational studies developed through a partnership between two postgraduate schools (Piracicaba and Uberlândia).MethodsThe review followed the PRISMA recommendations and was registered in the PROSPERO database. Ten databases were used, including the "grey literature". Two evaluators selected the eligible studies, collected the data and assessed the risk of biases, independently. The JBI tool was used to assess the risk of bias. A complementary statistical analysis was conducted on the means and standard deviations of the results from the WHOQOL-100 and WHOQOL-bref questionnaires.ResultsThe initial search presented 1,744 results, from which eight were included in the qualitative analysis. The studies were published between 2007 and 2018. The total sample included 1,358 answered questionnaires. All the studies presented low risk of bias. The complementary analysis showed that the environmental factor (mean score 56.12 ± 2.33) had the most influence on the quality of life of community health workers, while physical health (mean score 14.29 ± 0.21) had the most influence on graduate professionals.ConclusionProfessionals working within the Family Health Strategy had dimensions of quality of life that varied according to their professional category.
