Results: The sample consisted of five studies of authorship, especially nurses, published in Portuguese in journals of nursing and medical drawing predominantly descriptive and transversal. All studies used the WHOQOL-BREF to evaluate QL, satisfaction of the majority. Not evaluated the relationship of equipment collector and adjuvant QL.
