Affecting approximately 10% of the world population, with a prevalence of 6.7% in Brazil, it is more common in people over 60 years of age. CRF negatively impacts quality of life (QoL), influencing physical, emotional, social and economic aspects. Factors such as obesity, hypertension, inappropriate use of medications and smoking contribute to the worsening of the disease, while healthy habits, such as exercise and a balanced diet, can improve the prognosis. General objective: To evaluate the quality of life of individuals undergoing hemodialysis in the interior of RN. Methodology: An observational, analytical and quantitative study was carried out with patients from the Trairi/RN region, with individual analysis of the responses. Results: The results showed a reduction in health-related quality of life (HRQoL), with the lowest scores in the physical and environmental domains in the WHOQOL-BREF. In the KDQOL-SF 1.3, the greatest impacts were observed in the physical performance and professional activity domains, with averages of 47 and 33, respectively. Conclusion: It was concluded that HRQoL is significantly affected in hemodialysis patients, mainly in the following aspects: physical, environmental, professional activities and physical performance of individuals.Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/br/Doença Renal CrônicaQualidade de vida relacionada à saúdeHemodiálisebachelorThesis
