ABSTRACT:
Introduction: The transition from hospital to home care for premature newborns (PTNBs) is a critical moment for families, due to the complexity of care and the need for continuity of care after discharge from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Objective: To analyze scientific evidence on home care for PTNBs after discharge from the NICU, emphasizing challenges, caregiver experiences, and care strategies. Method: Integrative literature review conducted in national and international databases, including studies published between 2020 and 2025, in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Results and discussion: The studies pointed to feelings of insecurity and anxiety regarding the responsibility of care, especially in relation to feeding, hygiene, and signs of risk. In contrast, positive experiences occurred when there was structured preparation, strengthening of the family bond, and support from the health team. Essential strategies highlighted were health education, multidisciplinary follow-up, and continuity of care in primary care. Conclusion: Home care for PTNBs requires adequate preparation, emotional support, and continuous follow-up. Nursing plays a central role in the transition of care, helping to reduce complications and readmissions, as well as promoting greater safety for families.
