Abstract

CREMASCO, Gabriela da Silva  and  BAPTISTA, Makilim Nunes. Depression and chronic kidney disease: an integrative literature review. Psicol. teor. prat. [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.3, pp. 360-376. ISSN 1516-3687.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5935/1980-6906/psicologia.v20n3p360-376.

Brazilian and international scientific studies on depression and chronic kidney disease published between 2006 and 2016 in the PsycINFO and LILACS databases were analyzed. In total, 269 publications were analyzed against the inclusion and exclusion criteria, so that 21 articles remained for analysis. The studies were evaluated for the year of publication, periodicals, objectives, sample, results, associated constructs, and instruments of depression. The prevalence of depressive symptoms varied from 7.8% to 83.49%. Also, most samples were small and included both sexes. The year with most publications was 2011, and the Beck Depression Inventory was used in 66.67% of the studies. It is important to evaluate depression using instruments that take into account the specificities of the context in order to reduce bias and to permit a correct identification of the depressive symptoms in this population.

Keywords : depressive symptomatology; depressive disorder; chronic renal failure; hemodialysis; integrative review.
