Objective: To describe which health education actions on Objective: to identify the support practices provided by the social network to women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy treatment, based on the characteristics of this support. Method: Integrative literature review conducted across six databases, using cross-referencing of DECS and MESH descriptors for open-access studies. The Rayyan application was employed in the analysis process, with a synthesis framework grounded in Sanicola's Social Network theoretical reference. Results: The search process identified 727 publications, which, after analysis stages, resulted in nine studies for review synthesis. It was evident that the social network support practices manifest in informational, in-person, instrumental, emotional, and self-support contexts, directly impacting how women respond to treatment and overcome difficulties experienced during chemotherapy. Conclusion: Strengthening social network support practices allows for closer bonds and the potential for a more positive experience during chemotherapy treatment. The exchange of support measures should be mediated by healthcare professionals to make care comprehensive and applied beyond procedural aspects.
