“…As the purpose of the study was not to describe the temporal process of engaging in responsibility, but rather to build a comprehensive picture of how fathers see their fatherhood during the "early years", my analysis, although drawing on the first interview data, focused mainly on the second interviews. Men's narratives at the onset of their fatherhood have been analyzed and reported earlier as part of the project of which this study forms part (see Eerola & Huttunen 2011;. interpreted the fathers' narratives according to the extent and character of responsibility (selective coding).…”

“…For instance, it seems clear that the traditional tasks of fathering -begetting, protecting and providing (see Coltrane 2011, 171;Parsons 1955;Benson 1968) -do not meet the expectations of contemporary fathering, as more sensitive and "hands-on" ways of involvement have become the dominant cultural conceptions of "good fatherhood" (e.g. Eerola & Huttunen 2011).…”

“…Percebe-se uma sobrecarga emocional do pai no papel de provedor econômico da casa (Chin et al, 2011), por ter de dar conta das demandas às quais fica sujeito, dentro e fora de casa, o que exige dele uma dedicação quase total à vida da esposa e do bebê, ocasionando uma mudança no seu próprio self e nas relações conjugais (Chin et al, 2011) e um crescimento do pai em seu envolvimento parental (Eerola & Huttunen, 2011). A isto se soma o desafio de cuidar de si mesmo apesar da paternidade (Premberg et al, 2008), como se o pai tivesse de renunciar aos próprios interesses, incluindo o autocuidado e a vida social, em prol da família.…”

“…As mudanças culturais e sociais, iniciadas no século XX, dentre elas o feminismo e a consequente inserção da mulher no mercado de trabalho, a globalização do mercado e das informações e a defesa política da igualdade de gêneros, criam novas expectativas quanto ao papel do pai, antes encarregado do sustento financeiro do lar (Eerola & Huttunen, 2011). Hoje se espera do pai um maior envolvimento afetivo e efetivo com seus filhos, o qual passa a compartilhar as tarefas domésticas e o cuidado infantil e a dividir-se entre as demandas do lar e do trabalho, delineando-se toda uma "cultura do pai" (Pleck, 2004).…”

RESUMO.Este estudo tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão integrativa de artigos nacionais e internacionais sobre o tema da transição para a paternidade publicados entre 2006 e 2014 . Foram consultadas as bases de dados EBSCO, PsycINFO, SciELO Regional e PEPSIC, resultando em 25 artigos indexados, que foram analisados em relação ao ano de publicação, país, metodologia, temática e resultados. Os resultados foram agrupados em quatro grandes grupos, intitulados: "o pai consigo mesmo", "o pai, a mãe e o bebê", "o pai e a rede de apoio formal" e "o pai, o trabalho e a sociedade". No grupo, "o pai consigo mesmo", destaca-se a vivência da paternidade como uma revolução interna, acompanhada de intensa sobrecarga emocional, ambivalência, solidão e idealização da relação pai -bebê. No grupo, "o pai, a mãe e o bebê", percebe-se uma intensa transformação na vida conjugal, no qual o pai tende a ser mais ativo na relação com o bebê, porém modulado pela presença materna. No grupo "o pai, o trabalho e a sociedade", percebemos a falta de preparo dos profissionais para lidar com as demandas paternas, bem como a inexistência de políticas sociais e de saúde voltadas à relação pai -bebê. No grupo "o pai, o trabalho e a sociedade", destacamos o uso de redes informais de apoio e o surgimento de modelos horizontais de identificação paterna. Foram discutidos tendências e hiatos nas pesquisas atuais no campo da transição para a paternidade, no sentido da constituição de um novo pai.

This study aims to conduct an integrative review of national and international articles on the subject of the transition to fatherhood published between 2006 and 2014. EBSCO, PsycINFO, SciELO Regional and PEPSIC databases were consulted resulting in 25 ind exed articles, which were analyzed in relation to year of publication, country, methodology, thematic and results. The findings were grouped in four major groups, entitled: "the father with himself", "the father, the mother and the baby", "the father and formal support network" and "the father, the work and the society". In the group "the father with himself", there is fatherhood experience as an internal revolution, accompanied by intense emotional overload, ambivalence, solitude and idealization of the parent-child relationship. In the group "the father, the mother and the baby" is perceived an intense transformation in married life, where the father tends to be more active in relation to the baby, but modulated by the maternal presence. In the group "the father, and the formal support network", we see the lack of preparation of professionals to deal with parental demands, and the absence of social and health policies for the parent-child relationship. In the group "the father, the work and the society", we highlight the use of informal support networks and the emergence of horizontal patterns of paternal identification. We discussed the mai...

“…According to the Norwegian researchers Söderström and Skårderud (2013), this has led to a situation in which fathers with various problems in life management have become neglected. This has been particularly evident in Finland, where issues such as fathers' share of child care (Miettinen and Rotkirch 2012), time spent by fathers with their children and their parental practices (Halme 2009), and fathers' narratives of becoming and being a father (Mykkänen 2010;Eerola and Huttunen 2011;Eerola 2014) have been commonly studied. One possible explanation for the focus on middle-class fathers might lie in the Nordic culture.…”
