Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To investigate and synthesize scientific evidence on the effects of maternal voice as an auditory stimulus in promoting behavioral responses and clinical recovery in newborns admitted to specialized care units. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is an integrative literature review conducted between March 2024 and February 2026, with searches performed in the Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), PubMed, and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro). The descriptors used included newborn, neonatal intensive care, mother-child interaction, auditory stimulation, voice, early stimulation, and child development, along with their English equivalents, using the Boolean operators AND and OR. Included studies comprised clinical trials and before-and-after studies involving newborns in neonatal intensive care units exposed to maternal voice as an auditory intervention. RESULTS: Eleven articles were included in the final analysis. The interventions involved maternal speech, singing, or recordings. The findings demonstrated improvements in quiet alert and deep sleep states, reductions in pain and stress events, and physiological benefits such as increased heart rate variability and fewer cardiorespiratory events. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: Maternal voice is an effective, safe, and low-cost intervention with positive impacts on the behavior and clinical stability of newborns. This intervention can promote more humanized care practices centered on the mother-infant bond. Further studies are essential to consolidate the evidence, establish standardized protocols, and expand its safe and effective application in neonatal clinical practice.
