AB The birth of a child alters family dynamics and can be stressful for parents, especiallyin the case of prematurity. This article carried out a systematic review oninterventions in parents to reduce the stress experienced by the birth of a prematureinfant. The aims were to describe and classify the different interventionsand to have an overview of their effectiveness. We used the Preferred ReportingItems for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses guide and the PICO model. Forsearching the bibliography, we used Web of Science, Science Direct, PubMed andPsycINFO databases. From a total of 450 articles identified, this review finallyincluded 46 studies with empirical evidence. The articles clustered into differenttypes of interventions, such as psychoeducational and parental or maternal supportprograms, relaxation techniques, expressive writing, art therapy, music therapy andinterventions related to interaction and tactile stimulation. There is a wide range ofeffectiveness in reducing parental stress to a greater or lesser degree. There is agreat heterogeneity of interventions. Despite that, they all have a parental educationalcomponent that needs to be studied in greater depth.
