“…Partners described that they provided practical, emotional, and technical support to women [16,22,[25][26][27][28]35,43,46,47,50,55,56,61,62,64,65,68,70,71,73,74,76,77,79,84,85]. Practical support included household chores, baby care, childcare for older children, and ensuring women ate well.…”

“…Gender roles largely factored into infant feeding decision making with many partners believing this was not their role and was predominantly the woman's, as it was her body [18,19,22,24,[26][27][28]38,43,59,63,64,68,71,81]. Many partners presumed their child would be breastfed [18,27,43,61,63,71,80,81] and some partners had not discussed this with the woman [24,27,43,61]. Some grandmothers considered a woman's partner should have no say in infant feeding decision as it was a woman's choice to breastfeed or not [42].…”

“…Partners felt joy with observing mother-infant bonding from breastfeeding [16,27,46,56,61,62,68,71,76,85] and could bond with their baby in ways other than feeding [28,45,46,71,74,76,79]. Some were confident they could bond with their baby at a later stage [29,35,71].…”

“…Partners reported delayed relationship development with their infant, with some describing that they felt frustrated, excluded, and jealous of their breastfeeding partners [16,18,25,27,29,35,46,58,61,63,71,73,74,85]. Others were concerned that their baby developed a sense of overattachment with the mother [20,35].…”

“…Partners and grandmothers reported that HCPs disregarded and excluded them when breastfeeding issues were discussed with the women, for example, leaflets, classes [18,25,26,37,48,61,62,68,70,73,75]. Sometimes daytime antenatal classes were inaccessible to partners owing to work commitments [27,80], or partners felt isolated if they were the only male in the group [80]. Some grandmothers were unable to access education classes or contact HCPs despite wanting to update their knowledge [48].…”

This review aimed to synthesize qualitative evidence of views and experiences of partners and other family members who provided breastfeeding support for a relative. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for systematic reviews of qualitative evidence was followed. Seven databases: CINAHL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Scopus, Maternal and Infant Care, and Web of Science were searched. Partners and other family members (e.g. grandmothers, siblings) of women in any countries were included. Included papers were critically appraised. The JBI meta-aggregative approach was used to analyze data and form synthesized findings. Seventy-six papers from 74 studies were included. Five synthesized findings were: (i) spectrum of family members' breastfeeding knowledge, experiences and roles; (ii) the complexity of infant feeding decision making; (iii) the controversy of breastfeeding in front of others; (iv) impact of breastfeeding on family; and (v) it takes more than just family members: support for family members. Partners' and family members’ views and experiences of breastfeeding support reflected multi-faceted personal, social, financial, cultural, religious, emotional, psychological, and societal factors of the support they provided (or not). Healthcare professionals should engage them in breastfeeding discussions with the woman, and offer tailored and practical guidance relevant to help them to appropriately support the woman. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Multidisciplinary perspectives on social support and maternal–child health’.

Juggling Multiple Roles amidst Uncertainty: The Asian Father's Perspective of an Infant in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objective Parents of preterm, very low birthweight (VLBW) infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) undergo emotional turmoil. Studies on parent's experiences typically focus on the maternal perspective. The purpose of the study is to explore the emotional needs and experiences of fathers of VLBW neonates in the NICU and to identify ways to improve their experiences. Study Design This was a qualitative descriptive design study undertaken at the NICU of a tertiary university hospital. Convenience sampling with predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria was used to identify prospective participants. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 fathers of infants until data saturation was reached. The COREQ (Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Studies) checklist was used. Results Father's experiences were classified into the topics of concerns, roles, and perspectives. Uncertainty was a predominant theme in each of these. Fathers assume multiple roles toward the child, wife, self, and family. Their concerns were multifaceted involving the child, family, work, and finances; they experienced a myriad of emotions, but these evolved into resilience eventually. Conclusion Fathers have unique concerns pertinent to having an infant in the NICU. They juggle multiple roles and transition to emotions of resilience. It is imperative to acknowledge the uncertainty and diverse roles of fathers, provide them with customized information, and develop more balanced parent-support groups. Key Points

Teen pregnancy and parenting remain important public health issues in the United States and around the world. A significant proportion of teen parents reside with their families of origin, which may positively or negatively affect the family structure. Teen parents, defined as those 15 to 19 years of age, are at high risk for repeat births. Pediatricians can play an important role in the care of adolescent parents and their children. This clinical report updates a previous report on the care of adolescent parents and their children and addresses clinical management specific to this population, including updates on breastfeeding, prenatal management, and adjustments to parenthood. Challenges unique to teen parents and their children are reviewed, along with suggestions for the pediatrician on models for intervention and care.
