Abstract
The study aims to review the evidence related to the application of parenting peer education in several countries and to find out the effectiveness of parenting peer education for adolescent mothers. This study used Scoping Review-PRISMA-ScR on the Wiley Online Library, PubMed, Science Direct, and EBSCO databases. Articles that meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria were then subjected to a critical appraisal using the Joanna Briggs Institute tools. 12 articles were identified in this review. The results showed that there were four themes: partner support, family support, social support, and the effectiveness of peer education. Partner support could provide inner peace, while parents could advise during the transition period as parents. In addition, peer counseling could also be used as a strategy to assist women in becoming new roles as mothers. Peer counseling was able to increase the mother's trust due to similar experiences. They offered a unique empathic understanding, conveyed information in simple language, and were able to help in making the right decision. The support needed by adolescent mothers depends on the context of their relationships with others.
