    Author: Ngoenthong P, Sansiriphun N, Fongkaew W, Chaloumsuk N.
    Journal: J Obstet Gynecol Neonatal Nurs; 2020 Jan; 49(1):16-26. PubMed ID: 31756305.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To critically review and summarize the results of published articles on fathers' perspectives regarding breastfeeding support for their partners. DATA SOURCES: We searched the following databases for articles published between January 2010 and May 2019: CINAHL, MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ThaiJo, and ThaiLis. We included articles published in English and Thai. STUDY SELECTION: After duplicates were removed, our initial search yielded 3,927 articles. We excluded articles in accordance with pre-established criteria. We performed a quality appraisal of the selected full-text articles and ultimately included 27 in this review. DATA EXTRACTION: We analyzed studies that met inclusion criteria and extracted and organized data related to fathers' perspectives on breastfeeding support into a structured table. DATA SYNTHESIS: The data were synthesized into three themes: Attitude Toward Breastfeeding, Knowledge of Breastfeeding, and Fathers' Perceptions of the BreastfeedingSupportThey Provided. CONCLUSION: Our results showed that fathers' perspectives on breastfeeding support were shaped by their knowledge of breastfeeding and participation in the breastfeeding process. To promote breastfeeding, further research is required to design and implement appropriate interventions to help fathers effectively support their breastfeeding partners.
