The aim of this study was to describe the meaning of the father's lived experiences when taking care of his infant as the primary caregiver during the first hours after birth, when the infant was apart from the mother due to the mother's postoperative care. Fifteen fathers were interviewed between 8 days and 6 weeks after the birth. The results describe a movement toward father-child togetherness characterized by an immediate and gradual change within the father as he undertakes increasing responsibility while getting to know his child. The results can be discussed in antenatal classes in order to integrate the father's important role in the care of his infant, especially in a situation where the mother-infant dyad has been interrupted.
本研究的目的是描述父亲在婴儿出生后的最初几个小时作为主要照顾者照顾婴儿时的生活经历的意义，此时婴儿因母亲的术后护理而与母亲分开。在婴儿出生后的8天至6周内，对15位父亲进行了访谈。结果描述了一种父子亲密关系的转变，其特点是父亲在承担越来越多的责任并逐渐了解自己孩子的过程中，自身发生了即时和渐进的变化。研究结果可在产前课程中进行讨论，以便让父亲在照顾婴儿方面的重要作用得到重视，尤其是在母婴关系被打断的情况下。
