Análise da qualidade de vida dos discentes do curso de engenharia de produção da UTFPR - Campus Londrina

Abstract

Quality of life is a topic that is increasingly discussed and relevant in a multi-tasking, multi-stimulus era with a growing level of demand in the workplace and academic setting. Engineering courses are notoriously famous because of the difficulty required during the graduation, and are often ranked among the most difficult and intellectually demanding courses. As a consequence, the high level of evasion of these courses is remarkable. The purpose of this study is to study, evaluate and analyze the quality of life of UTFPR - Campus Londrina 's Production Engineering student in order to better understand the context that involves the student' s life, helping to understand what interferes with their quality of life and influences the difficulties experienced during the graduation, that often result in the abandonment of the course. This will allow, from the critical points raised, the suggestion of improvements in the university. For this, a qualitative-quantitative life survey was performed, adapted from the WHOQOL-bref method and applied in the Google Forms platform. The data obtained were analyzed and interpreted in order to find the most relevant and influential themes and topics for the perception of the student's quality of life. In this way, it was verified that the domains most critical to the quality of life of the students are the academic and psychological domains.
