Abstract:

The objective was to identify the manifestations and coping strategies of chagas disease that impact on the quality of life of the affected subject. This is a systematic review of the literature, carried out in PubMed, SciELO and LILACS databases,through which a number of 6 articles were collected, in addition to 6 publications identified through bibliographic list verification and 4 articles through manual search, which were independently evaluated by two reviewers.The variables treated were framed in the thematic axes: manifestations of Chagas disease that interfere in the quality of life of the individual and coping strategies that impact the quality of life of patients affected by Chagas disease, subdivided into three dimensions: physical domain, psychological domain and social domain. The results visualized in all treated domains showed a quality of life compromised by the disease; measures that are limited, for the most part, to the physical dimension of the patient; as well as incipient records of studies in the area. It is suggested the exploration of the proposed theme, believing that knowledge of the patient\'s living with the disease promotes the development of effective health intervention strategies.
