A total of 1,226 articles were identified, however, after selection, 24 articles were included. 11 instruments were used to assess QoL and, among these, the WHOQOL-bref and SF-36 instruments were the most used. The articles were published between 2011 and 2022 in English. The sample number ranged from 21 to 835 individuals of both genders.
