ABSTRACT

Aim

This study aims to determine the sociodemographic and paternal factors affecting intrauterine paternal-fetal attachment

Methods

The descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with fathers whose partners were over the 24th week of their pregnancies (n=174). The fathers were applied a form regarding responsibility-taking for mother and baby and the Intrauterine Father Attachment Scale.

Results

Fathers who are young, university graduates, have spouse working, planned the pregnancy, have no other children, and state that they had a good relationship with their father, were found to have significantly higher levels of attachment to the intrauterine fetus. Fathers who are attended the prenatal classes with their spouse, state that their spouse is supportive towards them, want to accompany their spouse during childbirth, and state that the baby is both the mother and the father’s responsibility after birth, were found to have significantly higher levels of attachment to the intrauterine fetus. Also, it was found that fathers who responsibility-taking for both mother and baby have a high level of attachment to the fetus (P <0.05).

Conclusion

Considering that planned pregnancy and fathers’ participation in antenatal care increases the level of attachment, health professionals have a great responsibility in terms of planning pregnancies and encouraging fathers to participate in antenatal care.

影响宫内父胎依恋的因素及父亲对母婴的责任地位

摘要

目标

本研究旨在确定影响宫内父胎依恋的社会人口学和父亲因素

方法

这项描述性和横断面研究是针对伴侣怀孕超过 24 周的父亲 (n=174) 进行的。父亲们被应用了一份关于对母亲和婴儿的责任承担和宫内父亲依恋量表的表格。

结果

年轻、大学毕业、有配偶工作、计划怀孕、没有其他孩子、与父亲关系良好的父亲被发现对宫内胎儿的依恋水平明显更高。与配偶一起参加产前班，表示配偶支持自己，希望在配偶分娩时陪伴，并表示孩子出生后是母亲和父亲的责任的父亲，被发现有显着更高的对宫内胎儿的依恋水平。同时发现，对母亲和婴儿都负有责任的父亲对胎儿的依恋度较高（P<0.05）。

结论

考虑到计划怀孕和父亲参与产前检查会增加依恋水平，卫生专业人员在计划怀孕和鼓励父亲参与产前检查方面负有重大责任。
