Objective: to map the practices of social support networks for mothers of premature newborns admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). Method: a scoping review structured according to the methodological guidelines of the Joanna Briggs Institute. Eleven health-related databases were used with relevant descriptors. The search, identification, and evaluation of articles were conducted from February to March 2023, with an update in 2024, to address the research question: what are the social support practices for mothers of premature infants in neonatal intensive care units? Results: twenty-six studies were included, highlighting the predominance of emotional, informational, and material support practices provided by family members, friends, and secondary social networks within hospital institutions. Conclusion: support practices for mothers, combined with the inclusion of fathers in maternal support groups with multidisciplinary teams and health education practices identified in informational support, contribute to reducing maternal stress during hospitalization.
