They answered a semi-structured electronic questionnaire built on Google . The WHOQOL-bref was used to assess quality of life. The data were analyzed descriptively and the differences between the variables studied were evaluated using the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis test. Significant differences were found in domains of quality of life of professionals and the availability of PPE used during clinical practice in general, with emphasis on the use of surgical mask and waterproof aprons. The pandemic highlighted the work of physical therapy, and its performance has risks and particularities that impact the quality of life of these workers.
