The purpose of this study was to investigate perceptions of fatherhood among fathers of high-risk neonates and their confidence regarding neonatal care.
A study was conducted of 100 fathers whose neonates had been admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for at least 48 hours. Perceptions of fatherhood, neonatal characteristics, and fathers' confidence regarding neonatal care were measured using a self-reported questionnaire. The survey took approximately 10 minutes to complete and was completed anonymously. The factors that affected fathers' confidence regarding neonatal care were analyzed using multiple regression.
The scores for positive and negative perceptions of fatherhood were relatively high at 4.27 and 3.42 out of 5 points, respectively. A positive perception of fatherhood was found to influence fathers' confidence regarding neonatal care.
NICU nurses should encourage fathers to effectively perform their parenting roles by implementing educational programs and interventions to promote positive perceptions of fatherhood and fathers' confidence regarding neonatal care after discharge.
本研究旨在调查高危新生儿父亲对父性的认知及其对新生儿护理的信心。
对100名其新生儿已入住新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）至少48小时的父亲进行了一项研究。使用一份自我报告问卷来测量对父性的认知、新生儿特征以及父亲对新生儿护理的信心。该调查大约需要10分钟完成，并且是匿名完成的。使用多元回归分析影响父亲对新生儿护理信心的因素。
对父性的积极和消极认知得分相对较高，分别为5分制中的4.27分和3.42分。发现对父性的积极认知会影响父亲对新生儿护理的信心。
NICU护士应通过实施教育项目和干预措施来鼓励父亲有效履行其育儿角色，以促进对父性的积极认知以及父亲出院后对新生儿护理的信心。
