The questionnaire that measures Quality of Life at Work - QWL GOHISALO short version original language in Spanish that evaluates seven dimensions [14], the questionnaire that measures fatigue and compassion satisfaction with the Quality of Life Scale was used. Professional acronym in English “Professional Quality of Life Scale” ProQoL version IV [15, 16] and the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire - short version CopSoQ to measure its 15 dimensions [17–21]. The three highly reliable instruments with reported Cronbach’s alpha values of 0.95, 0.8 and 0.9 respectively, use a Likert-type scale and have been translated into several languages and validated in multiple languages.

In addition to the previous battery of questions five questions are added about the frequency with which you think about changing work environments, based on previous research on turnover intention [22, 23]. They measure the intention to change to another service, change to another institution, migrate to another city, migrate to another country, or change profession to independent work, through a scale of 1 to 5 where 1 = never, 2 = sometimes./year, 3 = with some frequency/month, 4 = almost always/week and 5 = always/every day, in addition to the population characterization questions.
