The initial transition to parenthood is well represented in theory and research, but little exists related to the addition of subsequent children to the family. In order to provide for the caring needs of expanding families, nurses need to better understand the experiences of repeat parents, their needs, and the supportive behaviors these parents find helpful in the process of adding another child to their families. The purpose of this secondary analysis was to describe the types of social support and the specific behaviors identified as helpful or desired by mothers and fathers having a second child. Consistently, over the perinatal period, both mothers and fathers found behaviors which provided material support helpful and desired more of them. Emotional support was also helpful, particularly during pregnancy. In addition, information and comparison support were helpful during the antepartum period. Clinical application of findings is discussed.
初为人父母在理论和研究中已有充分体现，但对于家庭中增添后续子女的情况却鲜有涉及。为满足不断扩大的家庭的照料需求，护士需要更好地了解二孩父母的经历、他们的需求以及这些父母认为在家庭增添另一个孩子的过程中有所帮助的支持行为。这项二次分析的目的是描述社会支持的类型以及二孩父母认为有帮助或期望的具体行为。在围产期，父母双方一致认为提供物质支持的行为很有帮助且希望能有更多此类支持。情感支持也很有帮助，尤其是在孕期。此外，信息和比较支持在产前阶段很有帮助。本文还讨论了研究结果的临床应用。
