A father's ability to cope with fatherhood in the perinatal period has received limited attention in the literature. Recent studies have shown that both mothers and fathers are challenged by the demands of parenthood.
The challenges experienced by fathers during the perinatal period are explored and specific risk factors are identified. The aim of this paper was to develop a framework embedding the identified risk factors into a theoretical model that could be applied in predicting paternal emotional well-being.
This literature review consulted English peer-reviewed papers as far back as 1990. Databases, including PubMed, CINAHL, SCOPUS, PsycINFO, EBSCO, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses were examined.
The results of the literature review depicted a number of factors that could be aggregated into four clusters, including vulnerability factors, precipitating factors, coping style, and socio-cultural factors.
The literature review was limited as it only examined English based peer-reviewed articles.
The suggested model is based on various theoretical concepts and empirical findings. The application of this model could assist clinicians in the identification of at-risk perinatal fathers and target interventions to specific challenges experienced by perinatal fathers.
父亲在围产期应对为人父角色的能力在文献中受到的关注有限。近期研究表明，母亲和父亲都面临着为人父母的各种要求带来的挑战。
探讨父亲在围产期所经历的挑战，并确定具体的风险因素。本文的目的是构建一个框架，将确定的风险因素纳入一个理论模型，该模型可用于预测父亲的情绪健康状况。
本次文献综述查阅了早至1990年的英文同行评审论文。对包括PubMed、CINAHL、SCOPUS、PsycINFO、EBSCO以及ProQuest学位论文数据库在内的多个数据库进行了检索。
文献综述的结果描绘了一些可归纳为四类的因素，包括易损因素、诱发因素、应对方式和社会文化因素。
本次文献综述存在局限性，因为它仅检索了英文同行评审文章。
所建议的模型基于各种理论概念和实证研究结果。该模型的应用可帮助临床医生识别有风险的围产期父亲，并针对围产期父亲所面临的具体挑战采取干预措施。
