A concept analysis of the father's role is presented from a Japanese perspective. To conceptualize the term father's role, the process for concept analysis was employed. The analysis resulted in a definition of the term and four defining attributes. Two dimensions of the father's role emerged as being most commonly used or implied: a behavioral dimension and a consequential dimension. Each of these dimensions had another four subcategories in terms of the direction of the consequences: those were to the child, the mother, the family, and the father himself. The findings will assist in instrument development and to a further understanding of the concept that will stimulate nursing theory development and research.
本文从日本视角对父亲角色进行了概念分析。为了对“父亲角色”这一术语进行概念化，采用了概念分析的过程。分析得出了该术语的定义和四个定义属性。父亲角色的两个维度被认为是最常用或隐含的：行为维度和结果维度。就结果的方向而言，每个维度又有另外四个子类别：对孩子、对母亲、对家庭以及对父亲自身。这些发现将有助于工具开发，并进一步理解这一概念，从而推动护理理论的发展和研究。
