生儿育女可以成为父母快乐的源泉。然而，向父母身份的过渡与一定程度的紧张和压力有关，夫妻关系质量在过渡期间往往下降。共同抚养子女，即共同承担抚养子女的责任，对父母和子女都有好处，是向父母身份过渡的一个重要方面。在这项准实验性研究中，我们的目标是在日本开发一个夫妇教育计划，重点是期待他们的第一个孩子的夫妇之间的共同抚养。21对健康夫妇自愿参加干预组（n = 16）或对照组（n = 5）。每组的夫妇可以自愿参加标准的分娩教育课程。干预措施是一个夫妇教育计划，旨在加强共同养育，包括两个互动课程，包括每对夫妇内部的讨论和观看一个简短的视频显示育儿的例子。在产后1个月和3个月收集儿童养育、夫妻关系、父母心理健康和儿童适应的结果测量。多元回归分析显示，干预对儿童抚养和儿童适应有积极影响。干预组对分娩后1个月的共育支持评分（beta = 0.457，p < 0.003，R-2 = 0.187）和分娩后3个月的儿童适应性安抚评分（beta = 0.429，p < 0.006，R-2 = 0.157）有显著的积极影响。总之，我们制定了以日本夫妇共同育儿为重点的产前教育计划。
Having and raising children can be a source of joy for parents. However, the transition to parenthood is associated with a certain degree of strain and stress, and couple relationship quality often declines during the transition. Coparenting, the shared responsibility of childrearing, benefits both parents and children and is an important aspect of the transition to parenthood. In this quasi-experimental study, we aimed to develop a couple education program in Japan that focuses on coparenting among couples expecting their first child. Twenty-one healthy couples voluntarily participated in the intervention group (n = 16) or the control group (n = 5). Couples in each group could voluntarily participate in standard childbirth education classes. The intervention was a couple education program designed to enhance coparenting and consisted of two interactive classes, including discussions within each couple and watching a short video showing an example of childrearing. We collected outcome measures on childrearing, couple relationship, parental mental health, and child adjustment at 1 month and 3 months after childbirth. Multiple regression analysis was performed and showed positive effects of the intervention on childrearing and child adjustment. Being in the intervention group had a significant positive effect on Coparenting Support scores at 1 month after childbirth (beta = 0.457, p < 0.003, R-2 = 0.187) and Soothability scores for child adjustment at 3 months after childbirth (beta = 0.429, p < 0.006, R-2 = 0.157). In conclusion, we have developed the prenatal education program focusing on coparenting for Japanese couples.
