Resumen
Transition to telework can cause stress, loneliness and negative effects on the family life of
teachers, thus affecting their quality of life. This study had as general objective to determine
the quality of life of University of Cuenca’s teachers during telework; and as specific objectives
to describe the quality of life according to the physical, psychological, social and environmental
domains; and to analyze the quality of life according to the sociodemographic characteristics
of the professors. A quantitative, cross-sectional and exploratory research was carried out with
a self-selected sample of 718 teachers. The World Health Organization Quality of Life
Questionnaire - BREF (WHOQOL-BREF), Spanish version, was applied. The
sociodemographic data were collected by means of a form prepared by the researcher in charge.
The results show that University of Cuenca’s teachers have a medium-high quality of life
profile during telework. In relation to the domains, the data indicate that during this modality
the most affected domain is the social domain. Similarly, it is perceived that the quality of life
is influenced by variables such as biological sex, age, cohabitation, presence of children under
twelve years of age, hiring modality and professor’s faculty.
