Clinical Trial Description

Through pre-clinical research, it was found that primipara families lacked guidance and intervention for fathers, and theoretical basis and practical guidance were needed to build a new family system at the first time after delivery. Pregnant women need the support and help of their spouses or family members in the critical period of physical and mental recovery after delivery ; the newborn needs daily life care, interactive communication and caring companionship to meet the physical, emotional and psychological needs of the baby ; the parental participation of primipara spouses is at a low level. Maternal spouses lack relevant knowledge and experience, and need targeted guidance and intervention to promote their parental participation. After the mother underwent cesarean section, due to physical factors such as pain and fetal crying, the mother 's mood is affected, and the arrival of a new life is full of anxiety, which will lead to problems in the mother 's lactation. Production and childrearing are not the task of the mother alone. The purpose of this study is to let the father participate in childrearing at the first time after childbirth, and what are the benefits to the family. ;
