Filter by:The pregnancy process is experienced not only by the mother, but also by the fathers, so it is thought that the application of haptonomy, which is the science of love, communication and feeling together, will confirm the emotional existence of the baby in the prenatal period, and support the attachment of the father and the adaptation of the mothers to pregnancy. Therefore, this study; It was aimed to evaluate the effect of haptonomy application on prenatal attachment of fathers and compliance with pregnancy and to contribute to the midwifery literature of the results.
The quality of caregiving and the parent-child relationship is critical for early child development (ECD) and has been shown to be modifiable. This study evaluated an ECD project in Tanzania, assessing the effectiveness of radio messaging (RM) alone and a combined radio messaging/video job aids/ECD (RMV-ECD) intervention, using a two-arm pre-post design study, which enrolled a cohort of caregivers of children 0-24 months in four districts of Tabora region, following them for nine months. ECD radio messages were broadcast on popular stations at least 10 times/day reaching all study districts. In two districts, community health workers (CHW) trained in UNICEF's Care for Child Development package and used ECD videos in home- and facility-based sessions with caregivers. Five outcomes were used to assess the intervention effects: ECD knowledge, early stimulation, father engagement, responsive care, and environment safety. Additionally the effect of the training and video job aids on the quality of CHWs' counseling support was evaluated primarily using structured observation checklists of household visits and facility group counseling sessions with caregivers and their children. Qualitative data was collected from a subset of caregivers and CHW participating in the study to assess acceptability and other perceptions of the project.
The majority of men experiencing opioid use disorder and receiving treatment are fathers. Substance use, transitions between in-patient and out-patient treatment, and reunification as a family, all create considerable strain and are predictive of a host of negative long-term outcomes including increased rates of relapse for fathers and elevated risk for behavioral, emotional, and substance use problems in their children. Evidence-based parenting interventions for fathers are lacking in general, yet are exceedingly rare for fathers participating in opioid use disorder treatment, even though the extant research literature suggests the integration of services is not only timely but may help engage and retain fathers in treatment and produce protective factors for children. The goal of this project is to develop and evaluate a prototype of a usable innovative web-based program that integrates existing evidence-based parenting programs, yet tailored specifically to fathers with opioid use disorder and designed for the opioid treatment context in order to promote the implementation and dissemination of father specific empirically-supported treatment.
The aim of this study is to develop and implement a multicomponent eHealth lifestyle intervention (focusing on (co-) physical activity and screen time) for fathers and their children, aiming to prevent childhood overweight and obesity.
The overall evaluation plan for the Growing Responsible Fathers program (Fatherhood PRIDE) will utilize both a process evaluation and an outcomes evaluation, and will include both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Pre- and post-test surveys will be used to measure short-term outcomes outlined in the logic model including whether or not there has been an increase in self-efficacy and knowledge related to personal finance, parent engagement, healthy relationships, and education. Pre-test surveys will be administered at intake and/or prior to program activity and post-test surveys will be conducted at the conclusion of the program activity.
With an emphasis on 12 3-hour group workshops, the TRUE Dads fatherhood intervention program focuses on establishing or strengthening three of men's key roles in the family: 1) their role as providers, through fostering employment and economic self-sufficiency, 2) their role as fathers, in building and maintaining positive engagement with their children, and 3) their role in having and keeping a positive relationship with their co-parenting partner (wife, intimate partner, or other co-parent). The study is a randomized clinical trial that compares participants in a program track with participants a study track (no treatment control group) over a one-year period.
The number of children living apart from their fathers has grown nationally, and the greatest percentage is evident among African American (AA) families; two-thirds of all African American children live in households without their biological father. Research supports the importance of positive fathering in the lives of children. But in order for children to benefit from their fathers' involvement, the father-child relationship must be timely and sustained. This study will test culturally relevant interventions aimed at increasing non-resident (not living with the child) AA fathers' involvement with their children.
