“…The first theme cluster, "preparing to become a father," contains experiences related to participants' mindset and behavior, which changed due to the presence of a baby. According to a previous study, expectant fathers were able to acknowledge the baby's presence by attending prenatal ultrasound appointments, speculating about the baby's personality, and naming the baby [19], similar to the results of this study. Providing expectant fathers an opportunity to recognize the fetus through ultrasound images is very important as it becomes the basis for attachment to the child [6,7].…”

“…Providing expectant fathers an opportunity to recognize the fetus through ultrasound images is very important as it becomes the basis for attachment to the child [6,7]. Expectant fathers performed practical activities such as letting the fetus hear their voices, touching their wife's belly, and sensing fetal movement as the pregnancy progressed [19]. Participants in this study tended to value not only interactions with the baby, but also their mindset towards the baby in their daily lives.…”

Purpose: This study was conducted to explore first-time fathers' experiences during their transition to parenthood in South Korea.Methods: Data were collected from September 2019 to February 2020 through in-depth interviews that were conducted individually with 12 participants. First-time fathers with children under 2 months of age were recruited. Verbatim transcripts were analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological method.Results: Four theme clusters were identified: Preparing to become a father, challenges of becoming a father, motivation to foster familial bonds, and acknowledgement of fatherhood.Conclusion: These findings suggest that Korean first-time fathers prepared to practice parenthood through prenatal education, taegyo, and feeling bonds with their new baby. They recognized their identity as fathers and experienced self-growth. These results would be beneficial for health professionals in developing perinatal care programs, and the results provide basic data for studies on fathers and families during the transition to parenthood.

“…The attitude that permeates prenatal services is, from the perspective of future fathers, a not very inclusive practice regarding the father figure. They feel excluded by health professionals, who focus their care on the woman and the fe-tus, not recognizing them as equal partners in the transition, as shown in other studies [44][45][46][47] .…”

Resumo Tornar-se pai exige um processo de desenvolvimento pessoal, reorientação interior e adaptação ao novo papel. A literatura sobre este processo tem sido parca, desvalorizando o quão desafiante e problemática pode ser a transição de se tornar pai. Este estudo, de caráter qualitativo, exploratório, descritivo, transversal e retrospetivo procurou compreender as vivências dos homens na transição para a paternidade durante o período pré-natal. Incluiu uma amostra de 10 homens a vivenciar, pela primeira vez, a gravidez da parceira. Recurso à entrevista semiestruturada como técnica de coleta de dados. Análise de dados com técnica de análise de conteúdo, com categorização semântica e abordagem indutiva. Como resultados, emergiram 3 temas: “experienciar da transição”, “desenvolvimento da identidade como pai” e “(des)construção de pontes para a transição”. Este estudo aprofunda a compreensão desta transição desenvolvimental e desafia a uma reestruturação dos cuidados pré-natais no sentido da inclusão da figura paterna.

“…Further, some of the known individual barriers including men's education level, income, and limited awareness of men's role in reproductive health, hinder this partnership [1,[5][6][7][8]. A study to illuminate expectant first-time fathers' experiences of participation during pregnancy in three Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland and Sweden) showed that fathers wanted to participate and be responsible from the beginning of pregnancy [12]. The men's need to education to enhance participation in prenatal, delivery, and postnatal care as well as its positive effects on maternal and neonatal health has been shown in numerous studies in different countries [1,[13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

Background Men’s participation in perinatal care is one of the key factors in promoting maternal and neonatal health. The effects of various methods of training on men’s knowledge and attitude about participation in perinatal care can be different. So, this study aimed to compare the effect of two methods of training on men’s knowledge and attitude about participation in perinatal care. Methods This cluster randomized control trial was conducted in three midwifery clinics in Tabriz, Iran between May and August 2018. Each clinic was randomly assigned to intervention (group- based training along with text messaging and CD- based training) and control groups. Seventy-five men were enrolled in three groups and evaluated for their knowledge and attitude about participation in perinatal care. Before and 3 months after the intervention, a researcher-made questionnaire was completed by the participants. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (paired t-test, one-way ANOVA, ANCOVA, chi-square, Kruskal-Wallis and Fisher exact tests). Results The mean (SD) score of men, s knowledge and attitude about participation in perinatal care had a significant increase in group- based training along with text messaging after the intervention compared to the score of before the intervention (p < 0.001, p = 0.005, respectively), but the mean (SD) score of men, s knowledge and attitude had not a significant increase in CD- based training and control group after the intervention compared to the score of before the intervention. The mean (SD) score of men,s knowledge and attitude about participation in perinatal care in group- based training along with text messaging were significantly higher than in CD- based training (p < 0.001, p = 0.039, respectively) and control group (p = 0.001, p = 0.021, respectively) after the intervention, respectively. However, the mean (SD) score of men, s knowledge and attitude in CD- based training were not significantly different from the control group after the intervention. Conclusion Group- based training along with text messaging was more effective in improving the knowledge and attitude of men about participation in perinatal care compared to CD- based training. So, its implication in educational programs for the men is recommended. Trial registration IRCT, IRCT20160224026756N4. Registered 27 May 2018.
