Fathers’ emotional work deserves more attention from health professionals

Barnard, MC

Abstract

Qualitative research exploring parents’ experiences in the neonatal setting often focuses primarily on the mother and fathers’ voices are often under-reported. How fatherhood is understood and nurtured in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) can depend on a number of factors, including the individual differences between fathers and the local culture in the NICU.
