This study aims to understand the factors that contribute to the impairment and improvement in the quality of life (QoL) of patients with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). This is an integrative literature review carried out in the following databases: MEDLINE/PubMed, BVS, LILACS and SciELO, using studies published from 2015, available in full online and only clinical studies. 302 studies were found and after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 14 articles were selected for the sample of this research. The main results of this study point out that because CHF is a progressive disease that compromises cardiac capacity and, consequently, respiratory compromise, it triggers in the individual several manifestations, both physical and psychic, which are directly related to their quality of life. Among the articles studied, it is observed that the Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire was the most used tool to measure the quality of life of patients with CHF. Studies reinforce that QoL is a relevant parameter that should be evaluated in this population, as low QoL can compromise health. Therefore, the nurse has a very important role in monitoring the patient with CHF, establishing an individualized care plan that supports the improvement of Qol.
