- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to describe the advice and social support that fathers receive from the public health nurse at the child welfare clinic and the factors related. This study belongs to the project "The urban parenthood - the evaluation of interventions for the family with infant" where the data was collected by the parents at three hospitals in Finland within the years 2003-2007. In this study, the data was collected by the fathers (n = 220) when their babies were sex month old. The data was analyzed statistically. The fathers assessed that the advice was rather good; the worst estimations were for the advice concerned exactitude and individuality. The fathers assessed to receive all parts of social support moderately. Father's attitude to pregnancy and view of his baby was related with advice and social support. The fathers who were daunted to pregnancy and the fathers with more demanding babies experienced to receive worse advice and less social support than the other fathers. Knowledge of experience from the fathers can help the public health nurse to recognize the fathers who need special support and to develop allocation for support better than earlier.
