Objective: to describe the scientific production in nursing about the quality of life of patients with chronic wounds in Brazil. Methods: this is a descriptive study with a quantitative approach, a bibliometric review type study. The data collection was carried out between December 2020 and March 2021 through consultation on Virtual Health Library (VHL). The terms used, simultaneously, for the search were “Chronic Wounds” and “Quality of Life”. Results: seven articles presented the inclusion criteria and were elected to composse the sample. This study pointed out some gaps in nursing production about the chosen theme, related to the number of studies, methodological approach and sample size. One verified difficulty was the diversity of instruments used to assess the quality of life. Pain was related to low quality of life. Conclusion: that therapeutic nursing plan must consider the integrality of the patient.
