这项混合方法的研究探讨了与父亲参与产前保健的程度相关的因素。从西澳大利亚州的产前诊所和社区环境中招募了100名准爸爸。他们完成了有效的问卷调查。83%的准爸爸报告说，他们缺乏产前护理。多变量分析中与缺乏参与度显著相关的因素是每周工作超过40小时和产前保健人员缺乏足够的咨询。在定性分析中，6个主题与缺乏参与有关。他们在决策中的作用，时间压力，观察员效应，缺乏知识，出席的障碍，和感觉没有准备或焦虑。护理提供者应让父亲参与协商，以改善父亲的参与。
This mixed-methods study explores factors associated with and levels of engagement of fathers in antenatal care. One hundred expectant fathers were recruited from antenatal clinics and community settings in Western Australia. They completed validated questionnaires. Eighty-three percent of expectant fathers reported a lack of engagement with antenatal care. Factors significantly associated with lack of engagement in multivariate analysis were working more than 40 hours a week and lack of adequate consultation by antenatal care staff. In qualitative analysis, 6 themes emerged in association with a lack of engagement. They were role in decision making, time pressures, the observer effect, lack of knowledge, barriers to attendance, and feeling unprepared or anxious. Care providers should involve fathers in consultations to improve paternal engagement.
