Abstract
Objective: The objective of the systematic review will be to evaluate the effect of paternity leave or fathers' parental leave on infant mortality rate, hospitalization, vaccination compliance, and breastfeeding duration.
Introduction: Current studies indicate that paternity leave positively affects infant health, but there is a significant lack of synthesized research on its impact on key infant health indicators. A systematic review of the existing evidence will help identify best practices and guide further research and policy development in this area.
Inclusion criteria: The proposed systematic review will include studies such as experimental, quasi-experimental, and analytic observational studies, conducted among infants less than 1 year of age, exploring the effect of fathers' paternity leave or fathers' parental leave on the identified infant health outcomes.
Methods: The review will follow the JBI methodology for systematic reviews of effectiveness. A 3-step search strategy will be used, with no date or language restrictions. Study selection will also follow a 3-step process, including critical appraisal to determine methodological quality. Each step will be conducted by 2 independent reviewers; disagreements will be resolved through discussion or with other team members. The team will extract data using standardized templates from JBI SUMARI, then synthesize and conduct meta-analysis, if possible. If not, narrative synthesis will be conducted. Finally, the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach to determine certainty of evidence will be used to create a summary of findings.
Review registration number: This protocol has been registered in PROSPERO: CRD42024502533.
