Abstract

Every child who is unable to meet nutritional needs through the enteral route can benefit from the use of parenteral nutrition (PN), with this prescription being individualized due to the particularities of each age group. Complications with the use of PN can have a great impact on the quality of life (QL) of patients. The aim of this study was to carry out a systematic review of the nutritional impact and quality of life in children receiving total parenteral nutrition. An integrative review of the literature related to parenteral nutritional therapy in pediatrics was carried out, in the Lilacs, Pubmed and Scielo databases, from 2012 to 2022. The keywords used were: child AND parenteral nutrition AND quality of life. The research resulted in a sample of 7 original articles, characterized according to design, participants, period, intervention and outcomes. Most studies report a greater number of male children, in most studies the indication of PN is due to intestinal insufficiency, it is concluded that there is a predominance of interference from the use of TPN with the quality of life of these children mentioned in the articles.
