Objective: To critically synthesize the aspects exerting an influence on quality of life and mental health among professionals working in Psychosocial Care Centers. Method: An integrative review conducted by means of a systematized search and selection strategy. The studies selected were analyzed based on the COREQ and STROBE checklists and assessed according to the GRADE and GRADE-CERQual systems. Results: A total of 982 publications were retrieved, with nine of them meeting the eligibility criteria. This review identified that mental health and quality of life are inter-related factors that contribute to well-being in the work environment, although this relationship is not explicitly addressed in the articles analyzed. In the categorical analysis, factors influencing quality of life and mental health were identified in terms of physical infrastructure, work environment, professionals' commitment, care insecurity, stress or ability to manage it, hours worked and interpersonal relations. Conclusion: It was noticed that an increasing number of professionals show less interest in working in mental health services, and that those who already do so state their wish to leave the job, a situation related to the deficit in terms of institutional strategies targeted and promoting and maintaining these workers' quality of life and mental health.
