Materials and Methods: This scoping review was carried out in the following electronic information resources: BVS, PubMed, Cinahl, SciVerse Scopus, Lilacs, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Two independent reviewers analyzed the studies’ relevance. Results: The search yielded 4,295 publications, of which 20 comprised the final sample.
