简要总结
This study was planned as a randomised controlled trial to examine the effects of a "Father-Sensitive Childbirth Preparation Class" on the level of prenatal attachment. The main question it aims to answer is:
1- How does a father-sensitive birth preparation class affect fathers' prenatal attachment levels?
It was conducted between February 1, 2024, and October 1, 2024, with expectant fathers living in Mersin province, whose spouses were experiencing their first pregnancy, who were between 20-32 weeks' gestation, and who were going to become fathers for the first time.
A total of 99 expectant fathers were included in the study - 50 in the intervention group and 49 in the control group. The intervention group was given a "Father-Sensitive Childbirth Preparation Training" consisting of four sessions, while the control group received a standard "Childbirth Preparation Training", also consisting of four sessions.
The "Descriptive Data Collection Tool" and the "Prenatal Father Attachment Scale" were used to collect the research data.

结局指标
主要结局
Paternal Antenatal Attachment Scale (PAAS) total score mean
时间窗: 14 days after completing the 12-hour father-sensitive childbirth preparation class
It consists of 16 questions in a 5-point Likert format, designed to evaluate the feelings and thoughts of expectant fathers towards the developing baby in the womb, based on their emotions, thoughts, and experiences over the past two weeks. Nine items on the scale are reverse-scored, and the total score ranges from 16 to 80; higher scores indicate a stronger level of antenatal attachment.
