Objective: to identify, through the scientific literature, the use of music as a therapeutic strategy to reduce the stress of parents of premature newborns. Method: integrative review using full scientific articles indexed in PubMed (Public/PublishMedline), Scopus (The largest base of abstracts and references from peer-reviewed scientific literature), PsycINFO (American Psychological Association base), Web of Science, LILACS (Literature) databases. Latin American and Caribbean in Health Sciences), CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online) and Database in Nursing (BDENF) via Virtual Health Library (VHL). The guiding question was: can music therapy reduce the stress level of parents of premature newborns? Published in Portuguese and English, and containing controlled and uncontrolled descriptors, in February 2021. Results: 9 studies were selected, with only one conducted in Brazil. The results found were, in general, beneficial regarding the use of music therapy as a form of intervention to reduce the stress level of parents of premature newborns, in addition to improving the well-being and interaction of the father/mother and their child . However, a study identified that music therapy can generate an iatrogenic effect, such as increased stress, in situations where there is no specialized monitoring. Conclusion: This review made it possible to observe that music therapy is beneficial for reducing the level of parental stress in premature newborns, also indicating the need for specialized follow-up.
