The aim is to identify and synthesize key educational components and parental support needs in NICU interventions for preterm infants.
Conducted a systematic search of literature from January 2010 to September 2022.
Identified 33 high-quality peer-reviewed studies.
Data extracted and synthesized using thematic analysis.
Identified three main domains: educational content, programme structure, and parental support needs.
Educational content includes NICU environment, infant behavior, caregiving practices, and discharge preparation.
Variability in programme structures limited their effectiveness and comparability.
