“…In the literature, there are studies showing that there is a relationship between the employment status and low‐income level of fathers and the risk of depression 30,31 . Similarly, negative situations, such as job loss and low economic situations, have been reported to increase the risk of depression 12 . In addition, in our study, fathers who perceived their financial situation well had higher attachment levels in terms of pleasure in interaction.…”

“…30,31 Similarly, negative situations, such as job loss and low economic situations, have been reported to increase the risk of depression. 12 In addition, in our study, fathers who perceived their financial situation well had higher attachment levels in terms of pleasure in interaction. In a study conducted, it was reported that fathers that did not have financial problems supported the attachment level and this was an important factor.…”

“…In a systematic study by O'Brien et al, 11 it was found that paternal depression negatively affected the mother's and child's health as well as family relationships. It is also reported that paternal depression is associated with father‐infant attachment and affects attachment negatively 12,13 . A study has shown that father‐infant attachment, which positively affects the social and physical development of babies, is lower in fathers with postpartum depression symptoms 14 …”

Purpose: Paternal depression and inadequate attachment experienced in the postpartum period may be associated with future emotional and behavioural problems of children. This study aimed to investigate the paternal depression and attachment levels of first-time fathers. Design and Methods:The sample of this descriptive study consisted of 175 fathers with 3-6 months old babies whose wives applied to the polyclinic for check-up.Findings: When the cut-off point of the scale was evaluated at 13 and above in this study, the risk of depression was found to be 14.2%. The level of attachment decreases as fathers' risk of depression increases (p < 0.05).Practice implications: There is a risk of depression in fathers in the postpartum period. The level of attachment decreases as fathers' risk of depression increases.

“…A recent study indicated that the presence of PPD in fathers, simultaneously with mothers, negatively affects the cognitive development of children 8 . In addition, PPD negatively affects the early interaction of parents with the baby and their initial attachment with the baby 7 . Epidemiological and meta‐analytical research data indicate that the children of almost 1 in 10 fathers have PPD‐related problems in their cognitive, behavioral, and emotional development 9 …”

ObjectiveTo investigate the moderating role of the implicit affect in the relationship between postpartum depression and self‐stigma.MethodsIn this cross‐sectional study, data were collected from 233 fathers using the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS), Self‐Stigma of Depression Scale (SSDS), and Implicit Positive and Negative Affect Test (IPANAT) between July and August 2021. The structural equation model was used in data analysis.ResultsFathers received the following mean scores from the EPDS, SSDS, Implicit Positive Affect (IPA), and Implicit Negative Affect (INA) tests: 7.36 ± 5.55; 41.44 ± 10.04; 1.84 ± 0.62, and 2.50 ± 0.83, respectively. From the EPDS, 29.2% of the fathers received 10–30. It was found that postpartum depression negatively affects IPA (ß = −0.248, P < 0.001), whereas it positively affects SSDS (ß = 0.333, P < 0.001) and INA (ß = 0.344, P < 0.001). It was concluded that postpartum depression has a significant effect on the SSDS with the partial moderating role based on the IPA (ß = −0.298, P < 0.001).ConclusionPostpartum depression is an important health problem in fathers. Implicit positive affect partially affects self‐stigma in fathers with depressive symptoms. These results will guide the understanding of the stigmatization of fathers who experience depression during the transition to fatherhood.
