Resumen:
Sumario:The Internet may be a source of social support that promotes the improvement of parental competency. The objective of this study was to analyze the international panorama regarding research on online social support among caregivers of children and youth. This study comprises a Networked Integrative Review of Literature (NIRL) that approaches the literature as an associative network of variables and analyzes it based on the Theory of Graphs. Data search was conducted in two databases and the studies were filtered based on two relevance tests. This NIRL comprises 36 articles, whose results were converted into 53 variables that were categorized according to their relationship. Considering the recurrence of relationships among the variables, it is concluded that “Participation in online groups” promotes “Social support”, “Connection to other people in the same situation” and the emergence of a “Sense of Community”. Other findings are discussed based on the network measures.
