Complete search in MEDLINE Complete, CINAHL Complete, Scopus, Web of Science, RCAAP and OpenGrey databases. Screening of studies performed by title and abstract, with subsequent analysis of the full text by two independent reviewers who will extract and categorize data according to content. Research protocol registered in the Open Science Framework (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/CN258).
