Purpose and background: Parental peer support is part of the Family Integrated Care model in NICUs. However, little attention has been devoted to the specific content and organization of parental peer support programs. This scoping review aimed to identify (1) the preferred content of a parental peer support intervention, (2) the organizational processes, and (3) the suggested educational curriculum for peer support providers within existing programs in neonatal care. Discussion: Parental peer support programs have the goal to provide emotional support, information and assistance, and are to empower parents in the NICU. To achieve these goals, veteran parents receive training in communication skills, roles and boundaries, mental health, (non)medical aspects in the NICU and post-discharge preparation. Data on the organizational components remain limited. Hence, the question remains how the organization of a parental peer support program, and the training and supervision of veteran parents should be managed. Implications for research and practice: This scoping review provides a variety of aspects that should be considered when developing and implementing a parental peer support program in the NICU. Program development preferably involves NICU staff at an early stage. Future research should focus on the support of diverse populations in terms of culture, social economic status and gender, and on the effects of parental peer support on parent and infant.
