the transition period in which men become fathers might provide an important window of opportunity for parenting interventions that may produce long-term positive effects on paternal care and, consequently, child development. Existing prenatal programs traditionally focus on maternal and infant health and seldom involve the father.
This paper describes an interaction-based prenatal parenting intervention program for first-time fathers using ultrasound images, the Prenatal video Feedback Intervention to promote Positive Parenting (VIPP-PRE). We randomised a group of expectant fathers ( = 73) to either the VIPP-PRE or a control condition.
Expectant fathers thought the VIPP-PRE was more helpful and influenced their insights into their babies to a greater extent than the control condition. Expectant fathers receiving the VIPP-PRE reported that they particularly liked seeing and interacting with their unborn children as well as receiving feedback on these interactions. The intervention was well received and was considered feasible by both expectant fathers and sonographers and midwives.
We discuss the VIPP-PRE based on the experiences and perspectives of fathers, interveners, and sonographers and midwives.
男性成为父亲的过渡时期可能提供了一个重要的机会窗口，可以进行育儿干预，这可能对父亲的照顾产生长期的积极影响，从而对儿童发展产生积极影响。现有的产前项目传统上侧重于母婴健康，很少涉及父亲。
本文描述了一种基于互动的产前育儿干预方案，针对的是首次当父亲的人，使用超声图像，即产前视频反馈干预以促进积极育儿（VIPP-PRE）。我们将一组准父亲（n=73）随机分配到 VIPP-PRE 组或对照组。
准父亲们认为 VIPP-PRE 比对照组更有帮助，并且对他们对婴儿的洞察力的影响更大。接受 VIPP-PRE 的准父亲们表示，他们特别喜欢看到和与他们未出生的孩子互动，并收到关于这些互动的反馈。该干预措施受到了欢迎，并且被准父亲、干预者以及超声科医生和助产士认为是可行的。
我们根据父亲、干预者以及超声科医生和助产士的经验和观点来讨论 VIPP-PRE。
