ABSTRACT

Objective

the transition period in which men become fathers might provide an important window of opportunity for parenting interventions that may produce long-term positive effects on paternal care and, consequently, child development. Existing prenatal programs traditionally focus on maternal and infant health and seldom involve the father.

Study design

This paper describes an interaction-based prenatal parenting intervention program for first-time fathers using ultrasound images, the Prenatal video Feedback Intervention to promote Positive Parenting (VIPP-PRE). We randomised a group of expectant fathers (N = 73) to either the VIPP-PRE or a control condition.

Results

Expectant fathers thought the VIPP-PRE was more helpful and influenced their insights into their babies to a greater extent than the control condition. Expectant fathers receiving the VIPP-PRE reported that they particularly liked seeing and interacting with their unborn children as well as receiving feedback on these interactions. The intervention was well received and was considered feasible by both expectant fathers and sonographers and midwives.

Discussion

We discuss the VIPP-PRE based on the experiences and perspectives of fathers, interveners, and sonographers and midwives.

产前视频反馈干预促进准父亲积极养育的发展和可行性

摘要

客观的

男性成为父亲的过渡期可能为育儿干预措施提供一个重要的机会窗口，这可能对父亲的照顾产生长期的积极影响，从而对儿童的发展产生积极影响。现有的产前计划传统上侧重于母婴健康，很少涉及父亲。

学习规划

本文介绍了一种基于互动的产前育儿干预计划，适用于第一次做父亲的人，使用超声图像，产前视频反馈干预促进积极育儿 (VIPP-PRE)。我们将一组准父亲 ( N = 73) 随机分配到 VIPP-PRE 或控制条件。

结果

准爸爸认为 VIPP-PRE 比对照条件更有帮助，并且在更大程度上影响了他们对婴儿的洞察力。接受 VIPP-PRE 的准父亲报告说，他们特别喜欢看到未出生的孩子并与他们互动，以及收到有关这些互动的反馈。该干预措施受到好评，准父亲、超声医师和助产士都认为是可行的。

讨论

我们根据父亲、干预者、超声医师和助产士的经验和观点来讨论 VIPP-PRE。
