Aim: to analyze the quality of life and factors associated with it among disabled retired public workers of a public university. Method: this is an epidemiological study, featuring an observation-analysis, and a transversal, quantitative approach. The sample is composed of 59 disabled public employees who retired between 2000 and 2014. The data was collected through a questionnaire of socio-demographic characteristics and the SF-36v2 form in order to evaluate the retirees’ quality of life. F or the quantitative variables, the evaluations of absolute and relative frequencies, measurements of central trends, and variability were observed. The Mann-Whitney test, Chi-square test, and Wilcoxon W test were used due to the asymmetrical distribution of the variables found. The level of statistical significance was determined to be p<0.05. Expected Results: this study will provide support to personnel management in order to implement policies for the promotion of health, illnesses prevention, and the reduction of injuries; as a result, a decrease in the rate of early retirement, higher productivity in the labor market, an improvement in self-esteem, and the decline in retirement fund expenses are expected.
