Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the quality of life of patients affected by visceral leishmaniasis according to social, clinical, and epidemiological aspects. Method: A descriptive, cross-sectional, and quantitative study. It was developed between July and October 2019 in a hospital in the state of Paraiba, Brazil. Probabilistic sample including individuals over 18 years of age, of both genders, and under treatment for visceral leishmaniasis. A social-demographic questionnaire was used alongside with the Medical Outcomes Survey Short-Form 36. Results: 23 patients participated in this research, most of them male, single, and between 18 and 80 years of age. There is a negative impact on all areas of quality of life, with lower scores on the emotional role, physical function, and social role. Discussion: Visceral leishmaniasis is a neglected disease that affects several human dimensions, which presupposes the insertion of the nurse in educational and assistance actions that can mitigate the effects of the disease and improve the quality of life of this population.References
