ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the childbirth experience by primiparous fathers living in France on their level of postnatal depression, parental self-efficacy, and postnatal sense of security.METHODS:
Two hundred and fifty men answered sociodemographic questions and filled up the Edinburg Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), the First-Time Father Questionnaire (FTFQ), the Parent Expectations Survey (PES) and the Parents' Postnatal Sense of Security Instrument (PPSSi).RESULTS:
A negative birth experience was associated with a higher rate of postnatal depressive symptoms (P<.001) and a lower level of postnatal security (P<.001). However, no relationship was found between childbirth experience and sense of parental efficacy (P=0.09).CONCLUSIONS:
Similar to mothers, the way fathers experience the birth of their partner can have consequences for the way they go through the postpartum period. In order to prevent possible depressive affects that may impact the relationship with their child, and to strengthen their sense of security when returning home, it is important to provide fathers with appropriate support throughout the perinatal period.Palabras clave
