Abstract

Background: Adverse paternal perinatal mental health is recognized as a serious public health concern due to the negative implications for fathers, their families, and wider society. However, in the Irish healthcare system there is no evidence that the assessment and management of paternal perinatal mental health is part of current public health nursing practice.

Case presentation: The authors designed a hypothetical case study and used it with the public health nursing intervention wheel to analyze and illustrate how public health nursing practice is more likely to focus on maternal and infant health outcomes.

Findings: The case illustrated that there are opportunities to integrate applicable interventions such as assessment, screening, consultation, counseling, health teaching, referral, and follow-up at paternal and family level, as well as outreach, advocacy, and social marketing at community level. Evidence from the research-based literature is used to discuss how these interventions can result in beneficial outcomes for fathers, families and population health.

Conclusion: Furthermore, it illustrates how case studies can enhance teaching in relation to public health nursing education.

公共卫生护理干预轮在父亲围产期心理健康案例研究中的应用

背景：由于对父亲、其家庭和更广泛的社会产生负面影响，不良的父亲围产期心理健康被认为是一个严重的公共卫生问题。然而，在爱尔兰的医疗保健系统中，没有证据表明对父亲围产期心理健康的评估和管理是当前公共卫生护理实践的一部分。案例介绍：作者设计了一个假设的案例研究，并将其与公共卫生护理干预轮一起使用，以分析和说明公共卫生护理实践如何更有可能关注孕产妇和婴儿健康结果。研究结果：该病例表明，有机会在父亲和家庭层面整合适用的干预措施，如评估、筛查、咨询、咨询、健康教学、转诊和随访，以及在社区层面的外展、宣传和社会营销。来自研究文献的证据被用来讨论这些干预措施如何为父亲、家庭和人口健康带来有益的结果。结论：进一步说明个案研究对公共卫生护理教育教学的促进作用。
