“…Related to this need, Poh et al mentioned that fathers need more information about the progress during labour. 22 Hildingsson et al found that 85% (n = 505) of the fathers reported that receiving information about the progress of labour was important. 11 The difference in percentages can be explained by the different meaning of the questions used in the two studies; in this study, the question covers general information needed by fathers at the beginning of labour and birth about the childbearing process.…”

“…There was also a reduction in the need for the use of intrapartum analgesia and the duration of labour, and women were less likely to report dissatisfaction or negative perceptions towards giving birth and less likely to have a baby with a low five-minute Apgar score (1) . Furthermore, participation of the baby's father in childbirth was shown to enhance the mother's feelings of control, strengthen bonding and guarantee wider support (2) .…”

The Ebb and Flow of Filipino First-Time Fatherhood Transition Space

2016

Fatherhood, as a developmental process, is both a human experience and a text that needs to be read. For developing nations like the Philippines, little is known about the process undergone by first-time fathers on their transition to fatherhood, and how nurses can play a significant role in assisting them. This grounded theory study purported to conceptualize the multifaceted process of transition from the lens of Filipino first-time fathers' lived experiences. A total of 20 first-time fathers from Metro Manila, Philippines, were purposively selected to take part in an individual, semistructured, and in-depth interview. The Glaserian (classical) method of analysis was specifically used, and field texts were inductively analyzed using a repertory grid. Member checking and correspondence were done to validate the findings of the study. Six surfacing stages emerged relative to the process of transition. Interestingly, The B.R.I.D.G.E. Theory of First-Time Fatherhood Transition Space describes how these fathers progress from the beholding, reorganizing, inhibiting, delivering, grasping, and embracing phases toward successful transition. This emerged theoretical model can be used in framing health care programs where the needs of fathers during this period are met and addressed. Finally, it can also be used in guiding nurses in their provision of a more empathetic care for first-time fathers.
