“…The SF-36 is a generic questionnaire containing 36 items in 8 domains (vitality, physical functioning, bodily pain, general health, role physical, role emotional, social functioning, and mental health) and has been validated in the Brazilian Portuguese population (24) . The WHO Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) is another generic questionnaire that was used in two studies (5) (14) . The WHOQOL-BREF is considered an important tool for health professionals in the assessment of treatment effi cacy (25) .…”

“…A recent study conducted Trop 48(2):121-128, Mar-Apr, 2015 by Souza et al (5) evaluated the HRQoL in 21 ChD patients (aged 50.2 ± 13.9 years) with stroke sequelae using the WHOQOL-BREF and correlated it with depressive symptoms assessed by the BDI and functional performance by the Barthel Index (BI). They found a significant negative correlation between depressive symptoms and physical (r = −0.733, p = 0.001), psychological (r = −0.581, p = 0.012), environmental (r = −0.713, p = 0.001), and social (r = −0.659, p = 0.003) aspects of the patients' quality of life.…”

“…In recent decades, the epidemiological profi le of the disease has changed due to new patterns of immigration and successful control in its transmission, leading to the urbanization and globalization of the disease. Cases of ChD have been increasingly detected in the US, Canada, as well as in many European and some Western Pacifi c countries (5) . Dilated cardiomyopathy with heart failure is often a late manifestation of the chronic phase of ChD and is characterized by chronic myocarditis involving all cardiac chambers and damage to the excitation-conducting system of the intrinsic autonomic innervation (5) (6) (7) .…”

Chagas disease (ChD), a neglected tropical disease caused by infection with the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), remains a serious p ublic health issue in Latin America and is an emerging disease in several non-endemic countries, where knowledge of the condition and experience with its clinical management are limited. Regionally, the disease is the major cause of disability secondary to tropical diseases in young adults. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) impairment is common in patients with ChD, especially in those with Chagas dilated cardiomyopathy, the most severe manifestation of the disease, which frequently leads to heart failure. The aim of this review was to conduct a literature search for studies that have evaluated the determining factors of HRQoL in ChD patients. We included cross-sectional, case-control, cohort, and experimental studies, as well as clinical trials that evaluated the HRQoL in ChD patients aged 18 to 60 years and are presenting an explicit description of statistical analysis. Using a combination of keywords based on Descriptors in Health Sciences (DeCS) and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) for searches in PubMed and the Scientifi c Electronic Library Online (SciELO), 148 studies were found. After exclusions, 12 studies were selected for analysis. Three main fi ndings were extracted from these studies: 1) cardiac involvement is associated with a worse HRQoL in ChD patients; 2) HRQoL is associated with the patients' functional capacity; and 3) simple and inexpensive therapeutic measures are effective for improving HRQoL in ChD patients. Hence, ChD patients' functional capacity, the effectiveness of non-surgical conservative treatment, and cardiac involvement are important determining factors for the HRQoL in ChD patients.

“…It was not used as an objective of studies or search term, but it is often used in studies involving these patients and their family members, particularly in the context of this review. Although only S 19 (25) assumes it in its title and/or objectives (depressive symptoms), this manifestation is addressed by S 3 (9) , S 15 (21) and S 19 (25) . Depressive symptoms were related to QoL in two cross-sectional studies (S 3 (9) , S 19 (25) ) and to functionality in a prospective study (S 15 (21) ), exploring its interactions, often with losses (lower QoL and lower functionality) due to the manifestations or levels of the depressive symptoms evaluated.…”

“…S 19 (25) Although the study analyzed a particular group of patients -with stroke and Chagas disease, the authors attempted to investigate a correlation between inability and depressive symptoms (associated with stroke) with functional performance and QoL. A correlation was observed between the functional scores (mRS and BI), but not with the subscales of QoL; with these subscales, a correlation was observed between the scores in the depression scale, although depression was not associated with basic functionality.…”

Stroke still causes high levels of human inability and suffering, and it is one of the main causes of death in developed countries, including Portugal. Objective: analyze the strategies of hospital discharge planning for these patients, increasing the knowledge related to hospitalhome transition, discharge planning processes and the main impact on the quality of life and functionality. Method: integrative literature review using the PICOD criteria, with database research. Results: 19 articles were obtained, using several approaches and contexts. For quality of life, the factors related to the patient satisfaction with care and the psychoemotional aspects linked with functionality are the most signifi cant. Conclusion: during the hospitalization period, a careful hospital discharge planning and comprehensive care to patients and caregivers -in particular the functional and psychoemotional aspects -tend to have an impact on the quality of life of patients. Descriptors: Stroke; Quality of Life; Patient Discharge; Rehabilitation; Nursing.RESUMO O acidente vascular cerebral ainda origina elevados níveis de incapacidade e sofrimento humano, sendo das primeiras causas de morte nos países desenvolvidos, incluindo em Portugal. Objetivo: analisar as estratégias adotadas no planeamento da alta destes doentes, aprofundando o conhecimento inerente à transição hospital-domicílio, aos processos de preparação de alta assim como às principais repercussões na qualidade de vida e funcionalidade. Método: revisão integrativa de literatura, pelos critérios orientadores PICOD, com pesquisa em base de dados. Resultados: obtidos 19 artigos, com diversas abordagens e contextos. Para a qualidade de vida importa a satisfação com os cuidados recebidos e a consideração dos aspetos psico-emocionais, ligados à funcionalidade. Conclusão: no tempo de internamento, o planeamento cuidado da alta, o cuidado abrangente a doentes e cuidadores -nomeadamente aspectos funcionais e psico-emocionais -tendem a ter impacto na qualidade de vida dos doentes. Descritores: Acidente Vascular Cerebral; Qualidade de Vida; Alta do Paciente; Reabilitação; Enfermagem. RESUMENEl accidente cerebrovascular todavía lleva a elevados niveles de incapacidad y sufrimiento humano, y es una de las primeras causas de muerte en los países desarrollados, incluido Portugal.
