Sumario:The article presents the results of the evaluation of life quality of teachers of industrial Kuzbass city using SF-36 questionnaire, an application form and conversation. The share of the surveyed teachers up to 30 years is 20 %, up to 40 years -13,3 %, the rest of the teachers are older than 40 years. A low level of life quality of the teachers due to the decrease of their role and social reaction, vital activity, psycho-emotional tonus is revealed. The majority of the surveyed teachers complain of headache, backache, pain in the joints of the lower extremities and numbness of the hands. The level of motor activity of the surveyed subjects according to the questionnaire survey and conversation is low. The level of psycho-emotional tension is high. One-third of surveyed teachers notes strong mental problems in the form of emotional instability, depressive and anxiety manifestations. The level of mental health is low, it is manifested through the presence of depressive and anxious feelings, mental and emotional problems, irritability, unstable moods. There is a big difference between good physical health of the surveyed teachers and their poor psycho-emotional condition. The publications devoted to the problems of teachers' health report about the decrease of level of teachers health in process of increase in an experience of years of pedagogical activity. This article reveals the weak correlations between the age of teachers, their work experience and integral indicators of health (physical and mental components), it is contrary to the directions on the dependence of the intensity of psycho-emotional disorders teachers on their age and length of teaching experience. A strong direct correlation between the index of psychological well-being and social indicators of functioning (r = 0,68), role emotional functioning (r = 0,76), the frequency of headaches (r = 0,47) and the subjective evaluation of health status (r = 0,42) is found. This suggests a prevalence of psycho-emotional disorders in surveyed teachers while the preservation of their physical health, which manifest themselves regardless of the age of the surveyed teachers and length of teaching experience.
