Results: A total of 88 scientific papers were found. After selection, eight studies were included. All of them showed health education and patient adherence to interventions proposed as the key points to be worked in ambulatory practice. Conclusion: The specialized treatment to prevent complications in the lower limbs of patients as well as encouraging self-care/self-control are essential for the strategies involved.
