Abstract

Aim: To conduct a review of the literature between 2007 and 2017 on chronic kidney disease and quality of life, from an occupational therapy perspective, through a national and international perspective. Material and methods: Systematic review in different databases, journals on international and national articles meeting inclusion criteria of key words and, additionally, being within the selected year of publication range, for further analysis. Results:From a total sample of 206 articles, 31 articles fulfilling all the inclusion criteria were selected. It was evidenced that the studies on chronic kidney disease and quality of life present different variables such as coping, emotional factors, dependency, treatment costs, work life and sociodemographic variables. It is evident that the SF-36 questionnaire presents a higher percentage of use in reserach. In occupational therapy studies, the direct intervention predominates, while in professions such as psychology and medicine they excel in the application of instruments and analisys of results Conclusions:There is a large number of publications specifically on chronic kidney disease; however, inquiry measuring the quality of life of people with chronic kidney disease is limited. Professions with more papers on chronic kidney disease related to quality of life are nursing, medicine and psychology. Those found in occupational therapy were performed by last-year students for their professional degree.
