This study examined the effects of an educational program for fathers on improving father-infant interactions, child-rearing knowledge, and attachment.
In this quasi-experimental study, the participants were recruited by convenience sampling among fathers with infants (2-6 months of age) residing in three districts of Seoul. Fifteen participants in the experimental group and 17 participants in the control group completed the follow-up investigation. A 5-week online and offline intervention program with five sessions was provided to the experimental group. The data were analyzed using generalized estimating equations (GEEs).
There was a significant difference in the change in father-infant interaction scores of the experimental group, especially in the caregiver aspect with a significance level of .100 in time and group-to-group interactions (B=6.46, p=.051, 95% confidence interval [CI]=-0.02-12.94). The changes between the groups and times were not statistically significant when it came to infant development knowledge and father-infant attachment.
We conclude that hybrid online and offline education should be implemented as an effective method to improve fathers' interactions with their children based on accurate knowledge about infant development.
本研究探讨了一项针对父亲的教育项目对改善父子互动、育儿知识和依恋关系的影响。
在这项准实验研究中，通过便利抽样从居住在首尔三个区的有2至6个月大婴儿的父亲中招募参与者。实验组15名参与者和对照组17名参与者完成了随访调查。为实验组提供了一个为期5周的线上线下干预项目，共五节课程。使用广义估计方程（GEEs）对数据进行分析。
实验组父子互动得分的变化存在显著差异，尤其是在照顾者方面，时间和组间互动的显著性水平为.100（B=6.46，p=.051，95%置信区间[CI]=-0.02-12.94）。在婴儿发育知识和父子依恋方面，组间和时间上的变化没有统计学意义。
我们得出结论，应实施线上线下混合教育，作为一种基于准确的婴儿发育知识来改善父亲与孩子互动的有效方法。
