【 摘 要 】

AIM: determine the quality of life for people in chronic hemodialysis and its association with sociodemographic, medical-clinical and laboratory variables. METHOD: exploratory, descriptive, cross-sectional study with stratified probability sampling. Quality of life was assessed using the KDQOL-36TM. Data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software. RESULTS: 354 people in chronic hemodialysis had low scores on most dimensions of quality of life, mainly Burden of Disease, Physical and Mental Component. Age, sex, education, income, time on dialysis, etiology of the disease, smoking, hospitalizations, albumin, creatinine and transplants were related. The results reveal multiple factors related to quality of life. CONCLUSION: there is a need to research on other aspects that permit focusing and optimizing the nursing care for these people.
