: Investigate parents' recollections of resilience enhancing experiences in the first year of parenthood.: Resilience is a concept of emerging interest in transition to parenthood research. Little is known about parents' descriptions and experiences of resilience in the first year of parenthood and existing research is based on data about mothers only.: We conducted a thematic analysis of in-depth interviews with 10 parents (including four fathers) and created a thematic network of factors which participants described as enhancing their resilience in the first year of parenthood.: The thematic network comprised a number of subthemes (such as personal skills and support structures), and 39 specific resilience enhancing factors. These included personal skills such as acceptance, compassion, assertiveness and help-seeking; sources of support with the most preferred source for parents their partner, followed by mothers, peers, and midwifery; and important engagement characteristics displayed by support providers including attunement to the parent's needs and good communication skills.: Our work contributes to an important gap in the literature and identifies factors for future research to explore and develop.
调查父母对为人父母第一年中增强复原力经历的回忆。复原力是为人父母过渡研究中一个新兴的受关注概念。关于父母在为人父母第一年中对复原力的描述和经历知之甚少，且现有研究仅基于母亲的数据。我们对10位父母（包括4位父亲）进行了深度访谈的主题分析，并创建了一个主题网络，其中包含参与者描述为在为人父母第一年增强其复原力的因素。该主题网络包括一些子主题（如个人技能和支持结构）以及39个具体的增强复原力因素。这些因素包括个人技能，如接纳、同情、自信和寻求帮助；支持来源，父母最青睐的支持来源是伴侣，其次是母亲、同龄人及助产士；以及支持提供者展现出的重要参与特征，包括对父母需求的体察和良好的沟通技巧。我们的研究填补了文献中的一个重要空白，并确定了未来研究可探索和发展的因素。
