Although parenting interventions including expectant fathers are scarce, they yield promising results. The Prenatal Video-feedback Intervention to promote Positive Parenting (VIPP-PRE) is a recently developed intervention, that is both manualized and personalized, aiming to enhance paternal sensitivity and involvement before the birth of the baby. Illustrating the intervention process, the current study presents two case studies of expectant fathers receiving VIPP-PRE (clinical trial registration NL62696.058.17). The VIPP-PRE program is described along with the individual dyads' prenatal video fragments and feedback specific for each father-fetus dyad. In addition, changes in paternal sensitivity and involvement levels are presented, as well as fathers' and intervener's evaluation of the intervention. VIPP-PRE promises to be a feasible short-term and potentially effective parenting intervention for expectant fathers. Currently, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) is under review that systematically investigates the efficacy of the VIPP-PRE. Here we aim to provide further information on the intervention process, as well as fathers' and intervener's evaluations of this process, and the benefits of using ultrasound imaging in a parenting intervention.
尽管包括准父亲在内的育儿干预措施很少，但它们产生了有希望的结果。产前视频反馈干预以促进积极育儿（VIPP-PRE）是最近开发的一种干预措施，既规范又个性化，旨在增强婴儿出生前父亲的敏感性和参与度。为了说明干预过程，本研究介绍了两位接受 VIPP-PRE（临床试验注册 NL62696.058.17）的准父亲的案例研究。描述了 VIPP-PRE 计划以及每个父亲-胎儿对的个性化产前视频片段和反馈。此外，还介绍了父亲敏感性和参与度水平的变化，以及父亲和干预者对干预的评价。VIPP-PRE 有望成为一种可行的短期、潜在有效的准父亲育儿干预措施。目前，一项系统地研究 VIPP-PRE 疗效的随机对照试验（RCT）正在审查中。在这里，我们旨在提供更多关于干预过程的信息，以及父亲和干预者对该过程的评价，以及在育儿干预中使用超声成像的好处。
