This article is based on research into early intervention and safeguarding work with young fathers. It draws on a study of the Family Nurse Partnership (FNP), a home visitation service in the UK that is offered to vulnerable teenage mothers. The research investigated whether and how such early intervention work was done with the fathers of these babies. Three broad patterns of engagement emerged from the research: (1) where fathers were fully engaged with the service straightaway and the relationship with the family nurse deepened over time; (2) where fathers were partially engaged with the service; and (3) where fathers were resentful at the outset and never stopped being resistant and sometimes hostile towards intervention. Within these broad patterns several nuanced aspects of professional-father relationships are identified, which are the product of the interaction of several factors. Some general implications for early intervention and safeguarding work with fathers and their babies are drawn out.
本文基于对年轻父亲早期干预和保障工作的研究。它借鉴了对家庭护士伙伴关系（FNP）的一项研究，这是英国一项为弱势青少年母亲提供的家访服务。该研究调查了是否以及如何对这些婴儿的父亲开展此类早期干预工作。研究中出现了三种广泛的参与模式：（1）父亲们立即全面参与服务，与家庭护士的关系随着时间推移而加深；（2）父亲们部分参与服务；（3）父亲们一开始就心怀不满，对干预一直抵触，有时甚至怀有敌意。在这些广泛模式中，确定了专业人员与父亲关系的几个细微方面，它们是多种因素相互作用的产物。得出了一些针对与父亲及其婴儿的早期干预和保障工作的一般性启示。
