Inclusion criteria were articles, manuals of the Ministry of Health, monographs, dissertations, theses available in full, published and written in Portuguese, consistent with the research theme and published in the period from 2015 to 2020. The exclusion criteria were : materials that did not address the proposed theme and/or did not meet the inclusion criteria described above and outside the period stipulated for the research.
