This is a bibliometric study, conducted with 48 articles, published between 2005 and 2014, selected in the databases LILACS, IBECS, MEDLINE, PubMed, SciELO and DOAJ. The years 2012 and 2013 presented a greater quantitative of publications. Were identified 37 vehicles of which the Palliative Medicine Journal was the one that most published on the subject, and the American Journal of Psychiatry showed the highest impact factor. Most of the publications were produced by medical researchers and predominated authors with PhD.
