Abstract

Purpose: This study was conducted to explore first-time fathers' experiences during their transition to parenthood in South Korea.

Methods: Data were collected from September 2019 to February 2020 through in-depth interviews that were conducted individually with 12 participants. First-time fathers with children under 2 months of age were recruited. Verbatim transcripts were analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological method.

Results: Four theme clusters were identified: Preparing to become a father, challenges of becoming a father, motivation to foster familial bonds, and acknowledgement of fatherhood.

Conclusion: These findings suggest that Korean first-time fathers prepared to practice parenthood through prenatal education, taegyo, and feeling bonds with their new baby. They recognized their identity as fathers and experienced self-growth. These results would be beneficial for health professionals in developing perinatal care programs, and the results provide basic data for studies on fathers and families during the transition to parenthood.

初为人父的经历:对韩国父亲的研究。

目的:本研究旨在探讨韩国初为人父的经历。方法:于2019年9月至2020年2月对12名参与者进行单独深度访谈，收集数据。有两个月以下孩子的首次父亲被招募。采用Colaizzi现象学方法对逐字抄本进行分析。结果:确定了四个主题组:准备成为父亲，成为父亲的挑战，促进家庭纽带的动机，以及对父亲身份的承认。结论:这些发现表明，韩国第一次做父亲的人准备通过产前教育、太极和与新生儿的感情纽带来实践为人父母。他们认识到自己作为父亲的身份，并经历了自我成长。本研究结果可为卫生专业人员制定围产期护理方案提供参考，并为父亲和家庭在过渡到为人父母阶段的研究提供基础数据。
