The survey of scientific articles was carried out on publicly accessible electronic sites in the following databases: SciELO Brasil (Scientific Electronic Library Online), VHL (Virtual Health Library, which includes the LILACS, BDENF and Capes Journals Portal. Results: 4,852 articles were identified, but after reading the titles and abstracts and the full article, 11 studies were found that were related to the topic and inclusion criteria.
