PRISMA FLOW chart depicting the selection process of articles. The process includes identification (CINAHL n = 347; Pubmed n = 356; Academic Search Elite n = 76), screening (n = 683), and inclusion (n = 45) of found articles. A total of 548 articles were excluded based on title and abstract screening, and 93 articles were excluded against the inclusion criteria.
