Abstract

While fathers have come to be more involved with their partners and infants throughout the perinatal period, recent research has shown that roughly 10% of new dads experience mental health difficulties including depression and anxiety. Unfortunately, few psychologists receive focused training regarding conceptualizing, assessing, or treating common men’s issues in the period spanning from conception through a year post-partum. Because men tend not to seek mental health services during this period, the lack of scholarly attention to this vulnerable group reflects a commonly overlooked public mental health disparity. This article provides an overview of the key factors which research and theory suggest inform new fatherhood, along with an in-depth look at paternal postpartum depression. Implications for further practice and research are discussed. Specifically, the authors review psychosocial factors including masculine socialization, self-efficacy, social support, involvement with babies, and paternal postpartum mood and anxiety disorders. Finally, implications for research and practice are discussed.
转变为父亲的男性围产期心理健康
虽然在整个围产期,父亲与伴侣和婴儿的关系越来越密切,但最近的研究表明,大约10%的新爸爸会出现心理健康问题,包括抑郁和焦虑。不幸的是,很少有心理学家接受过关于概念化、评估或治疗从怀孕到产后一年的普通男性问题的集中培训。由于男性在这一时期往往不寻求心理健康服务,学术界对这一弱势群体缺乏关注反映了一种通常被忽视的公共心理健康差距。这篇文章概述了研究和理论建议的新父亲的关键因素,以及对父亲产后抑郁症的深入研究。讨论了进一步实践和研究的意义。具体来说,作者回顾了社会心理因素,包括男性社会化,自我效能,社会支持,与婴儿的参与,以及父亲产后情绪和焦虑障碍。最后,对研究和实践的启示进行了讨论。
