Introduction: The emergence of the concept of quality of life dates back to the 1930s in Europe. Shift work is a widely used system in health services in order to provide continuous care to users, with nursing being the most abundant workforce. Quality of life is a widely researched topic, however, there is insufficient evidence regarding the quality of life of nurses working in a shift system. Methods: scoping review based on the PRISMA-ScR model, by means of a literature search in the databases Medline, Embase, Web of Science (WoS), Cochrane Library, PubMed, and MedicLatina, selecting articles by consensus, with prior critical reading masked by two researchers. Results: Four areas emerged: psychological, physical, occupational and social. It is evident that shift work is negatively associated with the development of these areas, causing problems in each of them. Conclusions: The literature on this subject is scarce, and in Chile there is no evidence on the subject, which opens up new niches for research into the well-being of nursing professionals in all spheres.
