“…Participants clearly believed that both social service providers and legislators lack a full understanding of the plight of HNCFs and reported that leaders with direct influence over their practice were not always aware of clients' unique needs. To eliminate barriers to service, our participants, like those of Pattnaik and Medeiros (), reported a need to further educate community stakeholders and legislators on father homelessness, including how homelessness challenges the traditional male provider and affects the parent–child relationship.…”

Objective To investigate barriers to service for homeless non-custodial fathers from the perspective of social service professionals who work directly to assist men with securing housing while meeting the demands of fatherhood. Background The population of homeless fathers in the United States is increasing. Longitudinal studies show that although homeless noncustodial fathers and mothers face similar risk factors and barriers to services, research on minimizing risk factors and barriers for noncustodial fathers is limited compared with that for noncustodial mothers. Method The sample included 7 administrators and 12 direct service professionals engaged with fathers transitioning from homelessness. Data were collected via face-to-face, semi-structured interviews and analyzed using a qualitative inductive approach. Multiple cycle coding was employed to capture emerging themes. Results Three major themes, encompassing emotional, relational, and systemic factors, emerged regarding participants’ experiences serving homeless noncustodial fathers. Conclusion Effective approaches to supporting fathers require empathy, relationship building, and collaboration between service providers and policymakers. Implications Future policies and interventions should be based on input from direct service professionals and homeless noncustodial fathers themselves, with the aim of best supporting their efforts toward securing housing while meeting the demands of fatherhood.

“…The discrepancy between these findings might relate to the fact that some of the fathers in our sample were at least somewhat physically separated from their children, which limited the time they could spend with them. This is likely the case for a number of homeless fathers and emphasizes the potential importance of considering how the specific circumstances of fatherhood and homelessness that may vary across individuals may influence their identities (Meanwell, 2012; Pattnaik & Medeiros, 2013). Further, the findings suggest that fathers experiencing homelessness connect with aspects of their masculinity through the guidance and modeling they provide for their children.…”

“…However differences among individuals experiencing homelessness (e.g., age, gender, health, living arrangements, ethnicity; Flaskerud & Strehlow, 2008) and the interconnection of their various cultural identities may contribute to heterogeneity in their parenting practices. Fathers experiencing homelessness may or may not cohabitate with their families, they may be biological or social fathers, they may be single or coparenting fathers, and they may come from a variety of ethnic backgrounds (Pattnaik & Medeiros, 2013). The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) reported that in 2015 the racial and ethnic distribution of homeless individuals in the United States was: 40% African American, 48% White, 20% Hispanic, 3% Native American, and 1% Asian (HUD, 2015).…”

“…For many homeless fathers, this difficulty of providing may be unique from the difficulties associated with the extreme poverty that often accompanies homelessness, as it can include additional threats to safety, stability, and social connection (Petrovich & Cronley, 2015). However, the effects of these limits on men and their families have not been widely researched (Bryan, 2013; Pattnaik & Medeiros, 2013; Schindler & Coley, 2007). Two related theories of masculinity and fatherhood will be explored, followed by a review of research on cultural influences on masculinity and fatherhood, and the perceptions of these constructs among low income and homeless populations.…”

This study explored the perceptions of fatherhood held by 11 men living in a homeless shelter. Using consensual qualitative research methodology (CQR; Hill, 2012), we investigated perceptions of masculinity and fatherhood among fathers experiencing homelessness. Participants described (a) their perceptions of masculinity and fatherhood and changes resulting from homelessness, (b) physical and psychological challenges of being a father experiencing homelessness, and (c) expectations of homeless fathers. The fathers generally expressed feelings of low self-esteem related to their perceived difficulty fulfilling the role of providers for their family; however, they also adapted their view of fatherhood to include roles suited to their situation, such as that of guide, teacher, and role model. Suggestions are made for clinicians in helping fathers navigate and develop these roles, and limitations and directions for future research are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record

“…1970'li yıllarda özellikle Batı'da kadınların çalışma hayatında aktif olarak rol almaları ile birlikte, erkeklerden farklı beklentilerin olduğu yeni bir döneme geçiş yapılmıştır (Sağlık ve Çelik, 2018). Artık hem hane içinde hem de hane dışında benzer sorumlulukları paylaşan kadın ve erkek, ebeveynlik rollerinde de benzer deneyimler yaşamaya başlamıştır ve bu dönemin ardından literatürde babalık çalışmalarında artış yaşanmıştır (Wall vd., 2007;Lamb, 2010;Pattnaik, 2012;Cabrera ve LeMonda, 2013). Bu süreçte erkeklerin evdeki hâkim otorite ve gelir sağlayıcı rolü yerini eşiyle her konuda paylaşımcı, çocukları ile eğlenceli vakit geçiren, ailesine karşı ilgili bir eş ve baba rolüne bırakmıştır (Gökpınar, 2015;Kuzucu, 2011;Özeren, 2019).…”

Bu çalışma, babalık kavramının geçmişten günümüze yaşadığı değişim ve dönüşümler göz önünde bulundurularak babalar günü reklamlarında geçen babalık temsillerini, bu temsillerin sunumunda kullanılan nesneleri, babalık rollerinin davranışsal ve sözel karşılıklarını incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu kapsamda 2018 ve 2022 yılları arasında televizyonda ya da internet sitelerinde yayımlanan babalar günü reklamları amaçlı örneklem yöntemiyle araştırmaya dahil edilmiştir. Ulaşılan 182 adet reklamdan 89 babalık rolleri ve temsili ile ilgili görsel imge ya da sözel ifadeye rastlanmış ve bu reklamlar içerik analizi yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Toplamda 5.224 sn uzunluğunda reklam filmi incelemesi yapılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda babalık rollerindeki tarihsel değişim ve dönüşümlerin reklamlara da yansıdığı görülmüştür. Çalışmada toplamda 12 adet babalık rolü üzerinden kodlama yapılmış, 279 adet babalık temsiline rastlanmıştır. En çok temsil edilen babalık rollerinin katılımcı/ilgili (%30,82), oyun arkadaşı/eğlenceli (%11,46) ve fedakâr (%10,39) babalık rolleri olduğu görülmüştür. Babanın ev dışı temsillerinin oranının ev içi temsillere nazaran daha yüksek olduğu fark edilmiştir. Reklam sloganlarındaki temalar incelendiğinde en sık karşılaşılan tema olarak babalığın sürecine ve sürekliliğine vurgu karşımıza çıkmıştır. Değer vurgusunun ön planda olduğu reklamlarda en sık karşılaşılan değerin fedakârlık olduğu görülmüştür. Reklam alt metinlerindeki ifadeler incelendiğinde babalığın daha çok idealize edilen rollerinin (58) ön plana çıkarıldığı, eleştirilen babalık ile ilgili sınırlı (11) verinin olduğu gözlenmiştir. Her ne kadar idealize edilen babalık rollerinde katılımcı, eğlenceli/oyun arkadaşı ve bakım veren babalık ön planda olsa da reklamlarda sunulan sembol ve nesneler üzerinden otoriter baba vurgusunun devam ettiği görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak babalık kavramının toplumsal hayatta yaşadığı rol değişimlerinde etkili medya kanallarından biri olan reklamların önemli bir yeri olduğu unutulmamalıdır. Konuyla ilgili dönemsel olarak ele alınacak karşılaştırmalı çalışmaların alana önemli katkı sunacağı düşünülmektedir.
