The aim of this study was to analyze the quality of life (QOL) of 142 primary school teachers and 145 .firemen-rescuers. To determine QOL we used a WHOQOL-BREFF questionnaire.

Teachers’ QOL was significantly lower in all four domains when compared with .firefighters’ QOL; however, it did not differ statistically from the Czech population norms. Significantly lower compared to the norm was only teachers’ satisfaction with their health.

Our results showed a significant influence of profession, age and gender on QOL. The influence of subjectively perceived mental stress as a factor reducing the QOL was manifested only in teachers.

The explanation for this difference in QOL could be predicting better physical and mental health of firefighters.
