  • Title: And--how was it for you dad?
    Author: Greening L.
    Journal: Community Pract; 2006 Jun; 79(6):184-7. PubMed ID: 16780287.
    Abstract:
    This article describes a small pilot study which used a structured questionnaire designed to promote communication between health visitors and fathers. A review of literature revealed a lack of research and resources to support men's mental health and wellbeing through the transition to fatherhood. A convenience sample of 20 fathers completed the 'And--how was it for you dad?' questionnaire designed to encourage men to express their thoughts and feelings about becoming a parent. An evaluation questionnaire was also completed by the participants to assess the worth of the 'And - how was it for you dad?' project. This revealed that fathers welcomed the opportunity to express their feelings and emotions on becoming a parent. It is recommended that research should be extended further in order to develop a validated questionnaire to assist men to think about how they feel on becoming a father.
