本文是基于对年轻父亲的早期干预和保障工作的研究。它借鉴了对家庭护士伙伴关系(FNP)的研究,这是英国为弱势少女母亲提供的家访服务。该研究调查了是否以及如何对这些婴儿的父亲进行这种早期干预工作。研究中出现了三种广泛的参与模式:(1)父亲立即完全参与服务,与家庭护士的关系随着时间的推移而加深;(2)父亲部分参与服务;(3)父亲一开始就怨恨,从未停止过抵制,有时甚至对干预充满敌意。在这些广泛的模式中,职业父亲关系的几个细微差别的方面被确定,这是几个因素相互作用的产物。一些一般性的影响,早期干预和保障工作与父亲和他们的婴儿。
This article is based on research into early intervention and safeguarding work with young fathers. It draws on a study of the Family Nurse Partnership (FNP), a home visitation service in the UK that is offered to vulnerable teenage mothers. The research investigated whether and how such early intervention work was done with the fathers of these babies. Three broad patterns of engagement emerged from the research: (1) where fathers were fully engaged with the service straightaway and the relationship with the family nurse deepened over time; (2) where fathers were partially engaged with the service; and (3) where fathers were resentful at the outset and never stopped being resistant and sometimes hostile towards intervention. Within these broad patterns several nuanced aspects of professional-father relationships are identified, which are the product of the interaction of several factors. Some general implications for early intervention and safeguarding work with fathers and their babies are drawn out.
