Abstract: Objective: to evaluate the quality of life of kidneytransplanted patients who are followed in the outpatient clinic. Method: This is a cross-sectional and correlational study. The sample consisted of 55 patients who underwent a kidney transplant in the Lisbon region, Portugal. Data collection was conducted in May 2017. The WHOQOLbref questionnaire and sociodemographic and clinical variable were also used. Results: The lowest value is found in the physical domain and the highest values in the environmental and general facets of quality of life. The general facet of quality of life is positively associated with the physical domain, the psychological domain and the environmental domain. Conclusions: The physical domain of quality of life related to kidney-transplanted patients was the most impaired. Clinical practice implications for nursing are discussed.
