Practicality of the My Baby Now App for Fathers by Fathers: Qualitative Case Study

Practicality of the My Baby Now App for Fathers by Fathers: Qualitative Case Study

However, many fathers lack knowledge and confidence about how to do engage with their children [10]. Multiple barriers that exist to gain skills and knowledge, including a lack of father-focused support, resources, and services are exacerbating this problem for fathers [3,11,12], lack of trained staff specifically to work with fathers [13], differing cultural beliefs toward fathers’ roles [8], and a lack of father-specific, best practice guidelines [9,14].

Designing Child Nutrition Interventions to Engage Fathers: Qualitative Analysis of Interviews and Co-Design Workshops

Designing Child Nutrition Interventions to Engage Fathers: Qualitative Analysis of Interviews and Co-Design Workshops

Despite an emerging trend of involving fathers in parenting and child health research, there is limited evidence documenting fathers’ experiences and needs regarding nutrition and feeding, and they remain underrepresented in intervention studies [7,8]. In a 2017 systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) targeting child obesity prevention and treatment (n=213), only 10% of participants were fathers, and just 2 studies reported targeted attempts to recruit fathers [9].

Investigating Father or Partner Involvement in Family Integrated Care in Neonatal Units With TARGET (Fathers and Partners in Family Integrated Care): Protocol for a Prospective, Multicenter, Multiphase Study

Investigating Father or Partner Involvement in Family Integrated Care in Neonatal Units With TARGET (Fathers and Partners in Family Integrated Care): Protocol for a Prospective, Multicenter, Multiphase Study

Studies exploring paternal experiences in the NU highlight fathers feeling neglected and in a unique position of stress, trying to balance work and home life to allow the mother to focus on their sick baby [5]. As paternal and maternal MH are closely linked, supporting the fathers could also positively impact maternal MH [6,7].

Impact of a Face-To-Face Versus Smartphone App Versus Combined Breastfeeding Intervention Targeting Fathers: Randomized Controlled Trial

Fathers want to be involved in the breastfeeding decision-making process [20,22], and new fathers want practical advice on how they can support their partner as well as strategies for problem solving common breastfeeding difficulties that their partner may encounter [23].

Designing Online and Mobile Diabetes Education for Fathers of Children With Type 1 Diabetes: Mixed Methods Study

Designing Online and Mobile Diabetes Education for Fathers of Children With Type 1 Diabetes: Mixed Methods Study

However, fathers of children with T1 D are less likely than mothers to attend clinic visits with their children. As such, fathers are often absent when diabetes education is provided and likewise often miss opportunities to participate in research [5-6]. Few studies have targeted fathers’ diabetes-specific educational needs, and there remains no tailored mobile or Web-based diabetes education available to fathers [7].

Gamifying Breastfeeding for Fathers: Process Evaluation of the Milk Man Mobile App

Gamifying Breastfeeding for Fathers: Process Evaluation of the Milk Man Mobile App

Of these, 80.3% (586/730) of the fathers downloaded the Milk Man app, providing app analytics data. The fathers were asked to provide the date of birth of their baby, and this was needed to enable the 6-week questionnaire to be sent out and for mapping of the analytics over time. A total of 76.6% (559/730) and 60.1% (439/730) of the fathers completed the baseline and the 6-week questionnaires, respectively. Figure 2 shows the participant flow in the study.

Exploring the Transition to Fatherhood: Feasibility Study Using Social Media and Machine Learning

Exploring the Transition to Fatherhood: Feasibility Study Using Social Media and Machine Learning

First, much of the research exploring fathers’ transitions relies on mothers’ reports of fathers’ experiences rather than direct assessment of fathers themselves, with the validity of mothers’ reports questionable [11,12]. Second, data collection periods typically capture fathers’ experiences from the birth of their child onward, failing to capture fathers’ prenatal experiences.
