The effects of co-parenting/intergenerational co-parenting interventions during the postpartum period: A systematic review

Midwives and child health nurses’ support is associated with positive coparenting for fathers of infants: A cross‐sectional analysis

“…Taken together, while the current study suggests that providing routine universal clinical perinatal and child health care can be helpful in supporting fathers' coparenting, targeted programmes aimed specifically at coparenting and/or being father-inclusive, could have even greater positive effects than routine care alone. In addition, similar to the previous recommendations (Xiao & Loke, 2021) specific clinical suggestions for first-time, but not multi-time, fathers (van Vulpen et al, 2021). In accordance with this understanding, the current study found that primiparous fathers reported that their coparenting benefitted more from attending child health visits than multiparous fathers.…”

“…Previous coparenting intervention literature has shown that having at least five sessions, including two to three sessions in the prenatal time period and two to three in the postnatal time period, increases the chances of improved coparenting (Xiao & Loke, 2021).…”

“…More longitudinal and causal research is necessary, with further investigations of paternal parity, to ensure that multiparous fathers do not miss important clinical and social support. The Brief Coparenting Relationship Scale was used to measure the coparenting relationship, and Feinberg's Coparenting Relationship Scale (Feinberg et al, 2012) seems to be relatively universal, as multiple countries have assessed its validity and have used the scale when conducting coparenting research (Carvalho et al, 2018; Favez et al, 2021; Lamela & Jongenelen, 2018; Xiao & Loke, 2021). However, while the scale is validated in Sweden (Lee et al, 2021), this measurement of coparenting may not be validated in all cultures and therefore further assessment is warranted in contexts where the scale has not been previously validated.…”

“…In addition, while fathers self-reported their attendance, we do not know their level of participation within each visit. A final potential limitation is that some countries may not have five or more prenatal and postnatal clinical visits where coparenting topics can be discussed (Xiao & Loke, 2021). Similarly, midwives and child health nurses in other countries may not discuss parenting issues.…”

The Influence of Parents on Medication Adherence of Their Children in China: A Cross-Sectional Online Investigation Based on Health Belief Model

“…In addition, attention should be paid to the mental health of the parents of children, and more social and psychological support should be provided for the parents to help them solve the problems in the process of children's medication. Multiple studies have shown that the better the psychological state of the parents, the stronger their self-efficacy, and this study shows that high parental self-efficacy can help improve children's medication adherence ( 52 – 54 ). Only by strengthening the self-psychological construction of the parents of children and giving them more effective social and psychological support can the parents play a greater role in family education, help children to establish good drug habits, and play an important role in promoting the mental health of children ( 55 , 56 ).…”
