Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate perceptions of fatherhood among fathers of high-risk neonates and their confidence regarding neonatal care.

Methods: A study was conducted of 100 fathers whose neonates had been admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for at least 48 hours. Perceptions of fatherhood, neonatal characteristics, and fathers' confidence regarding neonatal care were measured using a self-reported questionnaire. The survey took approximately 10 minutes to complete and was completed anonymously. The factors that affected fathers' confidence regarding neonatal care were analyzed using multiple regression.

Results: The scores for positive and negative perceptions of fatherhood were relatively high at 4.27 and 3.42 out of 5 points, respectively. A positive perception of fatherhood was found to influence fathers' confidence regarding neonatal care.

Conclusion: NICU nurses should encourage fathers to effectively perform their parenting roles by implementing educational programs and interventions to promote positive perceptions of fatherhood and fathers' confidence regarding neonatal care after discharge.

韩国高危新生儿父亲对父亲身份的认知和对新生儿护理的信心:一项描述性研究。

目的:本研究的目的是调查高危新生儿的父亲对父亲的看法和他们对新生儿护理的信心。方法:对100名新生儿在新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)住院至少48小时的父亲进行了研究。父亲的认知，新生儿特征，以及父亲对新生儿护理的信心使用自我报告问卷进行测量。该调查大约需要10分钟完成，并且是匿名完成的。运用多元回归分析影响父亲对新生儿护理信心的因素。结果:积极和消极的父亲认知得分相对较高，分别为4.27分和3.42分(满分5分)。研究发现，积极的父亲观念会影响父亲对新生儿护理的信心。结论:新生儿重症监护室护士应通过实施教育计划和干预措施，鼓励父亲有效地履行其养育角色，以提高父亲对父亲身份的积极认知和父亲对出院后新生儿护理的信心。
