The goal of the present research was to test the efficacy of the Bringing Baby Home couple-focused psychoeducational program for promoting father involvement and related satisfaction. A randomized clinical trial design was used to randomly assign 136 pregnant couples to either an intervention or control group. Father involvement post-intervention was assessed through self-report of engagement in parenting tasks. Intent-to-treat analysis of covariance analyses indicated that fathers who participated in the Bringing Baby Home program reported significantly more involvement in parenting tasks, satisfaction with the division of parenting labor, and feeling appreciated by their wives. Both husbands and wives were also more satisfied with the division of labor when fathers were more involved in parenting. Results suggest that couple-focused psychoeducational programs can be successful for promoting father involvement.
本研究的目的是检验 Bringing Baby Home 夫妇为中心的心理教育方案在促进父亲参与和相关满意度方面的效果。采用随机临床试验设计，将 136 对孕妇夫妇随机分配到干预组或对照组。通过自我报告参与育儿任务的情况来评估父亲在干预后的参与度。意向性治疗协方差分析表明，参加 Bringing Baby Home 项目的父亲报告称，他们在育儿任务中的参与度显著提高，对育儿分工的满意度提高，并且感到被妻子欣赏。当父亲更多地参与育儿时，丈夫和妻子对分工也更满意。结果表明，以夫妇为中心的心理教育方案可以成功地促进父亲参与。
