“…Fathers or close relatives performing KC is helpfull for mother. Direct participation of fathers in child care ensures mothers , and leads to more motivation for them to continue KMC action (21),we could not find any similar study that report father kangaroo care but Kadam (22), and Cattaneo (23) reported that 64%, and 83% of husbands accepted KMC, and supported their wives respectively. The present study indicated that there was a 4.1 time increase in exclusive breast feeding by KMC at the time of hospital discharge.…”

BackgroundExclusive breastfeeding is one of the most important essential components of Kangaroo Mother Care.ObjectiveThis study was performed to evaluate the effects of KMC on exclusive breastfeeding just at the time of discharge.Patients and MethodsIn this cross sectional study, 251 consecutive premature newborns admitted to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) between May 2008 and May 2009 in Alzahra University Hospital in Tabriz were evaluated. All of candidate mothers were educated for KMC method by scheduled program. Standard questionnaire was prepared by focus group discussion, and mothers filled it prior to infant hospital discharge.ResultsIn this study 157(62.5%) mothers performed kangaroo mother care (KMC group) versus 94 (37.5%) in conventional method care (CMC group). In KMC group exclusive breast feeding was 98 (62.5%) vs. 34 (37.5%), and P =.00 in CMC group, at the time of hospital discharge. Receiving KMC, and gestational age were the only effective factors predicting exclusive breastfeeding. Our result indicated that there was a 4.1 time increase in exclusive breastfeeding by KMC, and also weekly increase in gestational age increased it 1.2 times, but maternal age, birth weight, mode of delivery, and 5 minute Apgar score had no influence on it.ConclusionsKMC is more effective, and increases exclusive breast feeding successfully. It can be a good substitution for CMC (conventional methods of care). It is a safe, effective, and feasible method of care for LBWI even in the NICU settings.

“…This variable had a positive impact on the home environment at 1 year CA. 11 Paternal support in the re-enrolled sample was the same in the 2 groups, but the impact depended on whether the father had carried the infant in the kangaroo position during the neonatal period. Three of the HOME inventory subscales (family companionship, regulatory activity, and learning material at 20 years) were significantly higher in the group in which the 6 Data are presented as n (%).…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Kangaroo mother care (KMC) is a multifaceted intervention for preterm and low birth weight infants and their parents. Short-and mid-term benefits of KMC on survival, neurodevelopment, breastfeeding, and the quality of mother-infant bonding were documented in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted in Colombia from 1993 to 1996. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the persistence of these results in young adulthood.

“…In this sense, fathers with a higher quality father-child relationship reported fewer diffi culties in feeding their two-year old child (Cerniglia et al, 2014). In a more comprehensive study, Tessier et al (2009) found that when father involvement was high, it had a positive effect on the development of male children in the following areas: locomotor, social, speech, hearing and motor coordination.…”

An ample body of scientifi c evidence exists, documenting the importance of the father-child relationship. The objective of this study was to develop a theoretical model of father involvement, organized according to the principles of Structural Equation Modeling, which require specifi cation of the variables associated with the central construct, based on empirical data. In 2015, a systematic search was conducted in the databases APA PsycNET, Bireme, PEPSIC, Web of Science and IndexPsi Periódicos, using the descriptors "involvement" and "father", crossed with "measure", "scale", "tool" or "instrument", in both the English and Portuguese languages. There were no restrictions on the year of publication. In total, 39 complete texts were located, that included data on father involvement. The information in these texts was grouped into three categories: (a) dimensions of father involvement, (b) factors affecting father involvement and (c) impacts of father involvement on other variables. The model presented synthesizes the results of these studies, representing an advance in theory development in this area. This model increases the visibility of conceptual issues about father involvement and its correlates, and, following empirical testing, may contribute to the improvement of intervention programs for fathers. Keywords:Father involvement, theoretical model, development, wellbeing.

Em 2015, foi realizada uma busca sistemática nas bases de dados eletrônicas APA PsycNET, Bireme, PEPSIC, Web of Science e IndexPsi Periódicos, usando os descritores "envolvimento" e "paterno", cruzados com "avaliação" ou "instrumento", nos idiomas inglês e português. Não foram impostas restrições em relação ao ano de publicação. Foram encontrados 39 textos completos que incluíam dados empíricos sobre o envolvimento paterno. As informações encontradas foram agrupadas em três categorias: (a) dimensões do envolvimento paterno, (b) fatores que afetam o envolvimento paterno e (c) impactos deste envolvimento sobre outras variáveis.
