Results:
A total of 1,600 articles were identified, of which 13 were selected. They mention different thematic areas, highlighting the stigmatization and discrimination of the patient, the fear of requesting professional attention, the mental health problems that can suffer and the risk of contracting infectious and contagious diseases.
