Introduction: To describe and analyze the existing perception about job satisfaction (SL) and quality of life (QoL) of Spanish resident doctors in the months which follow the end of the state of alarm due to COVID-19 and one year after that.
Method: A Descriptive-correlational study, being the Spanish residents the target population who was asked, using an online form, in two periods (1st from 11/01 to 12/31, 2020 and 2nd between 11/01 and 12/31, 2021). For SL, the Font-Roja questionnaire was used and for QoL, the WHOQOL-BREF (both using a 5-point Likert scale).
Results: 404 residents responded (1st cut) and 411 (2nd cut). The results for the global SL showed Rho = 0.09; p = 0.081, without differences between their means (-0.07; p = 0.090). The global QoL, measured through the questionnaire, evinced a low correlation between both cut-offs (Rho = 0.10; p = 0.041), with variations between their means (-0.14; p < 0.001).
Conclusions: In relation to SL, no association was revealed between the two periods studied. Regarding QoL, more positive data were found in the 2nd period, both in self-perceived QoL and in the global result of the questionnaire.
