METHODS scoping review carried out according to The Joanna Briggs Institute's recommendations, in eight databases, following the Preferred Reporting Items checklist for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews checklist, between 2011 and 2021.

The strengthening of health education, multidisciplinary rounds and educational technologies were highlighted as strategies to expand the involvement of companions.
