ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at a special program led by nurses to help new fathers learn how to take care of their babies and build a strong connection with them. The program teaches fathers important baby care skills like feeding, diaper changing, sleep routines, and keeping the baby safe and healthy. It also helps fathers understand that caring for a baby is not just the mother's job, encouraging dads to be more involved from before the baby is born through the early months.
If you are a new father, you might be eligible to join this study. Participants will take part in training sessions where nurses share useful information and practical tips about infant care. The goal is to help fathers feel confident and active in caring for their child, which can also help strengthen the emotional bond between father and baby. This program aims to challenge old ideas about gender roles and support fathers in being more engaged parents, which is good for both the father and the child’s development.
