In this article we present the results of three studies investigating methods for including men in antenatal education in Istanbul, Turkey. Participants were first-time expectant parents living in low and middle-income areas. After a formative study on the roles of various family members in health during the period surrounding a first birth, an antenatal-clinic-based education programme for women and for couples was carried out as a randomised, controlled study. Based on the results, separate community-based antenatal education programmes for expectant mothers and expectant fathers were tested. There was demand among many pregnant women and some of their husbands for including expectant fathers in antenatal education. In the short term, these programmes seemed to have positive effects on women and men's reproductive health knowledge, attitudes and behaviours. In the clinic-based programme the positive effects of including men were mainly in the area of post-partum family planning, while in the community-based programme positive effects among men were also seen in the areas of infant health, infant feeding and spousal communication and support. Free antenatal education should be made available to all expectant mothers and when possible, men should be included, either together with their wives or in a culture such as that of Turkey, in separate groups.
在本文中，我们展示了三项研究的结果，这些研究探讨了在土耳其伊斯坦布尔将男性纳入产前教育的方法。参与者是居住在中低收入地区的初为准父母。在对首次生育前后不同家庭成员在健康方面的作用进行了一项形成性研究之后，开展了一项针对女性和夫妻的基于产前诊所的教育项目，作为一项随机对照研究。基于这些结果，对分别针对准妈妈和准爸爸的社区产前教育项目进行了测试。许多孕妇及其一些丈夫都希望准爸爸能参与产前教育。短期内，这些项目似乎对女性和男性的生殖健康知识、态度及行为产生了积极影响。在基于诊所的项目中，让男性参与的积极影响主要体现在产后计划生育方面，而在基于社区的项目中，在婴儿健康、婴儿喂养以及配偶沟通与支持等方面也看到了男性的积极变化。应向所有准妈妈提供免费的产前教育，并且在可能的情况下，应将男性纳入其中，要么与他们的妻子一起，要么像在土耳其这样的文化背景下，将男性单独分组纳入。
