Summary:Introduction: Prematurity represents a challenge to family well-being. It involves medical and emotional complications that affect the child and parenting development. In this context emerges the figure of the family health nurse (FHN). With his skill set, he intervenes in health promotion and disease prevention, providing continuous support for the families during the hospital-home transition. Objective: To map scientific evidence on family health nursing interventions aimed at families in a neonatal context, during the hospital-home transition. Methods: This Scoping Review followed the JBI methodology and PRISMA-ScR reporting. The protocol was registered on OSF (DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/36BJG). Research was conducted in PubMed and CINAHL (via EBSCO) from December 1st to December 31st, 2024, complemented by Scielo, LILACS, RCAAP, B-On, and Google Scholar. Eligibility was defined using PCC. The title, abstract, and full-text selection were done by two independent reviewers through the Rayyan® platform. Any disagreements were resolved by a third reviewer. Data was synthesized narratively and organized in a table. Results: Three FHN intervention axis here identified: family empowerment, collaborative procedures between the hospital and community contexts, and the nurse as case manager. Conclusion: The outcomes of this Scoping Review contribute to the design of FHN intervention projects in the vulnerable situation of the hospital-home transition of these families.
