“…Our results also suggest that when mothers perceived a greater bond with their babies, a good dyadic adjustment, or had a better individual QoL, their partners also had a similar perception. In accordance with our findings, the literature shows intra‐partner correlations in individual QoL (Brandão et al, 2020 ; Ngai & Ngu, 2013 ; Sun et al, 2019 ), in the dyadic setting (Brandão et al, 2020 ) and parent–infant bonding (De Cock et al, 2016 ). These results indicate that couples function as a family unit and their functions are interrelated (Cox & Paley, 2003 ).…”

“…However, mothers showed greater parent–infant bonding and QoL than their partners 6–12 months after birth. The study conducted in Japanese couples by Sun et al ( 2019 ) did not show differences in QoL between women and their partners until the third year after the birth, at which time, a better QoL was observed in women compared to men (Sun et al, 2019 ). In contrast, our results showed that the QoL was already higher in women in the first year postpartum.…”

“…These conflicts underlie the changes in the relationship between the partners and feelings of exclusion from the mother–baby dyad, which can negatively affect parent–infant bonding (de Montigny et al, 2018 ) and the father's quality of life (QoL; Chen et al, 2010 ). QoL is a term widely used as a measure of personal well‐being and is becoming increasingly valued in the evaluation of adaptation during the transition to parenthood (Sun et al, 2019 ).…”

According to the family systems theory, the family is characterised by a hierarchical structure (i.e., it is composed of subsystems that are systems in and of themselves) and adaptive self-organisation able to adjust to change or challenges (Cox & Paley, 2003). The transition to parenthood represents a moment of change for couples at both the intra-personal and inter-personal levels. The term 'transition' is defined as a temporary process during which people must adapt to a new situation (Kralik et al., 2006) and, therefore,

“…Specifically, we lack evidence on the identified instruments’ responsiveness and reliability, which give information on the repeatability and ability to detect changes between timepoints and groups [ 5 , 13 ]. Parental QoL and health status change throughout pregnancy and the first year postpartum [ 18 – 21 , 23 , 29 , 113 ]. Therefore, evidence on the responsiveness and reliability of QoL instruments for this target group is needed.…”

Purpose To identify instruments used to measure parents’ Quality of Life (QoL) during pregnancy and the postpartum period, and to describe their characteristics and psychometric properties. Methods For this scoping review we conducted systematic literature searches in MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsychINFO, CINAHL and HaPI in mid-December 2020, to identify studies evaluating psychometric properties. The COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) were used to define and categorize psychometric properties. Two reviewers screened the studies independently, and customized screening questions were used to assess eligibility against inclusion criteria. Data were systematically extracted into a predesigned data charting matrix, and descriptively analyzed. Results The searches identified 5671 studies, of which 53 studies met the inclusion criteria. In total, there were 19 QoL instruments: 12 generic and seven period specific. The most reported instruments were SF-36, SF-12 and WHOQOL-BREF, and the most evaluated instruments were SF-12, WHOQOL-BREF, QOL-GRAV, and PQOL. We found that none of the identified instruments had been evaluated for all nine psychometric properties recommended by the COSMIN. The most reported psychometric properties were internal consistency and structural validity. The instruments were primarily assessed in parents residing in Asia (50%), and 83% of the studies were conducted from 2010 to 2020. Only three studies included psychometric measures assessed on fathers. Conclusion Our review shows there is extensive evidence on the internal consistency and structural validity of QoL instruments used on parents during pregnancy and the postpartum period, but that the evidence on other psychometric properties is sparse. Validation studies and primary studies are needed to provide evidence on the reliability, validity, responsiveness, and interpretability of QoL instruments for this target group, in particular for fathers and partners.

“…The transition to parenthood, which is a period in which married adults, in a way, restructure their lives, is hectic and time-consuming due to the presence of a baby in need of care (Miller & Sollie, 1986;Rossi, 1968). The acquired parenting role, on the other hand, provides individuals with self-sufficiency, satisfaction, socially acquired maturity and a sense of continuity (Feldman vd., 2004;Peterson, 2017;Sun et al, 2019;Sönmez, 2021;Yavorsky et al, 2015).…”

This study aims to evaluate the studies on “pregnant education” searched in the WoSCC database in terms of quantity and quality with bibliometric analysis. In this context, 483 studies conducted between 1980-2022 were reached in the filtering made without year, language and citation index constraints. It was determined that the studies in the related field were between 1980-2022 and the most prolific author was Hyun Kyoung Kim. In addition, it was found that the most publications in this field were in the field of "Gynecology and Obstetrics" and the institution with the most publications was "Iran University of Medical Sciences". In the common word analysis, it was seen that the words "prenatal education, pregnancy, breastfeeding, prenatal care" were used most frequently, while in the co-citation analysis, it was determined that the most cited author was Anita J. Gagnon. In the co-citation analysis, no link was found between the three most cited publications. In the co-authorship analysis, it was seen that the authors who published together were gathered around a single group. As a result; it was concluded that pregnancy education should be more comprehensive and permanent in line with the demands of individuals to raise awareness about pregnancy, child care and development.
