父亲在产后的心理困扰可能会对孩子的健康和发展产生不利影响，但人们对与父亲困扰相关的因素知之甚少。本文研究了广泛的社会人口、个体、婴儿和环境因素，以确定与父亲产后第一年心理困扰相关的因素。对参与澳大利亚儿童纵向研究第 1 波婴儿队列的 3,219 名父亲的数据进行了二次分析，当时孩子的年龄为 0-12 个月。大约 10% 的父亲报告了心理困扰症状加重。 Logistic回归分析显示，影响父亲产后心理困扰的风险因素包括工作质量差、人际关系质量差、母亲心理困扰、伴侣职业地位较高、父母自我效能感低等。这些结果为指导父亲产后心理困扰风险评估提供了新的信息。工作场所权利和为父亲提供服务也具有重要的社会政策影响。
Fathers' psychological distress in the postnatal period can have adverse effects on their children's wellbeing and development, yet little is known about the factors associated with fathers' distress. This paper examines a broad range of socio-demographic, individual, infant and contextual factors to identify those associated with fathers' psychological distress in the first year postpartum.Secondary analysis of data from 3,219 fathers participating in the infant cohort of the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children at wave 1 when children were 0-12 months of age.Approximately 10 % of fathers reported elevated symptoms of psychological distress. Logistic regression analyses revealed that the risk factors were poor job quality, poor relationship quality, maternal psychological distress, having a partner in a more prestigious occupation and low parental self-efficacy.These findings provide new information to guide the assessment of fathers' risk for psychological distress in postnatal period. There are also important social policy implications related to workplace entitlements and the provision of services for fathers.
