This Université du Québec en Outaouais study examined professionals' attitudes towards fathers, their perceived self-efficacy when working with them and their perceptions of the importance of including fathers in family interventions.
Professionals in Québec, Canada, working in childcare fields such as education, social services, health, community services and management answered a self-report questionnaire between 2013 and 2015. The 296 respondents (90% females) had a mean age of 39 (20-65), were from urban, semi-urban and rural settings and provided services to families with children up to five years of age.
Social service professionals perceived fathers more negatively than did other professionals. Even though male professionals perceived fathers more negatively, they felt more confident working with them than did their female counterparts. Positive perceptions of fathers were associated with more favourable attitudes towards including them in family interventions, and this association was mediated by the professionals' perceptions of their own self-efficacy.
The most negative attitudes were reported by social service professionals. Male professionals viewed fathers more negatively but were more confident working with them than were female colleagues. Improving professionals' perceptions of fathers could help to promote their inclusion in family interventions.
魁北克大学奥塔瓦分校的这项研究考察了专业人员对父亲的态度、他们在与父亲合作时所感知到的自我效能，以及他们对在家庭干预中纳入父亲的重要性的看法。
2013年至2015年期间，加拿大魁北克从事教育、社会服务、健康、社区服务和管理等儿童保育领域工作的专业人员回答了一份自我报告问卷。296名受访者（90%为女性）的平均年龄为39岁（20至65岁），来自城市、半城市和农村地区，为有5岁以下儿童的家庭提供服务。
社会服务专业人员对父亲的看法比其他专业人员更负面。尽管男性专业人员对父亲的看法更负面，但他们觉得与父亲合作比女性同行更有信心。对父亲的积极看法与对将他们纳入家庭干预的更有利态度相关，并且这种关联是由专业人员对自身自我效能的看法所介导的。
社会服务专业人员报告的态度最为负面。男性专业人员对父亲的看法更负面，但与父亲合作比女性同事更有信心。改善专业人员对父亲的看法有助于促进他们参与家庭干预。
