What questions could a father bring to an early child-health visit to support shared parenting?
The study examines how responsive professional conversations can include fathers in the caregiving partnership. It places collaboration within a network of parents and early-childhood services.
Who was studied?
413 fathers recruited through child health centers in Region Stockholm, Sweden.
Age / stage: Infancy and toddlerhood
Read with three questions
- How were nurses’ asking and answering behaviors measured?
- How did coparenting associations vary across follow-up times?
- Why did the decline at later follow-up suggest a need to examine continuing support?
Keep the limits in view
Fathers’ reports and nonrandomized service interactions cannot establish that nurses’ behavior caused better coparenting. Correlated predictors, missing data, and the Swedish service context constrain interpretation.
