Purpose: This study aims to provide foundational data for preparing for educational programs on the roleof a father that are designed to help primiparous spouses carry out the paternal role successfully.
Methods: This study was conducted in two OB/GYN clinics and a study sample of 277 primiparous spouses who satisfied the selection criteria was selected.
Results: Of the correlation among the childhood experiences, paternal attachment and role of a father of the subjects, the childhood experiences had a positive correlation with the paternal-infant attachment and the role of a father. The paternal-infant attachment and the role of a father also had a positive correlation.
Conclusion: An infant is influenced primarily by his or her parents, who will have immense influences on the child’s growth and development. Since the paternal-infant attachment is closely related to the role of a father, thedevelopment of positivepaternal-infant attachment must be preceded in order for a primiparous spouse to carry out the role of a father successfully. Therefore, the development of nursing intervention programs is needed to foster the proper understandingof the roleof a father, accommodate the practical needs of primiparous spouses and nurture the paternal-infant attachment for the promotion of realistic, successful role of a father.
