The purpose of this transcendental phenomenological study was to describe the lived experiences of young, non-resident, low-income, African-American fathers.
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a convenience sample of 6 men enrolled in the Omaha Healthy Start, Fathers for a Lifetime Program.
The following themes were identified: (a) A Work in Progress: Fatherhood Investment; (b) A Little Island by Myself: Barriers to Fathering; (c) I'm Going to be There From Day One to Infinity: Presence; and (d) The Tomorrow Dad: Not Like my Dad. Barriers to fathering created resource-poor environments posing challenges to involvement.
Dispelling the myth of the "hit-and-run" father or the "package deal" remains a concern for fathers and their children. Nurses can develop early assessment strategies and interventions to help African American fathers with their parenting involvement. Fathers can be encouraged to attend community-based fathering programs to increase investment opportunities.
本超验现象学研究的目的是描述年轻、非本地居住、低收入的非裔美国父亲的生活经历。
对参加奥马哈健康开端“终身父亲计划”的6名男性进行了便利抽样的半结构化访谈。
确定了以下主题：(a) 正在进行的工作：父亲身份的投入；(b) 独自一人的小岛：育儿的障碍；(c) 从第一天到永远我都会在那里：陪伴；(d) 未来的父亲：不像我父亲。育儿障碍造成了资源匮乏的环境，给参与带来了挑战。
消除“不负责任的父亲”或“包办婚姻”的神话仍然是父亲及其子女所关心的问题。护士可以制定早期评估策略和干预措施，以帮助非裔美国父亲参与育儿。可以鼓励父亲参加社区育儿项目，以增加投入机会。
