Risk factors for paternal depression and anxiety in the perinatal period: Qualitative interviews

The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors associated with paternal perinatal mental distress in a sample of Australian men. A mixed-methods design was used. Interviews were conducted to explore the risk factors associated with paternal perinatal mental distress but also to provide an insight on the reconstruction of masculine gender role by fathers to accommodate the increasing responsibilities within the perinatal period.
Extract [Related publication]: The study was advertised using James Cook University panel, social media, and the research team’s networks. Eligible potential participants were provided with an information sheet and a consent form. Once the first author received signed consent, the participants were contacted by the first author to discuss their queries and to discuss time and place for the interview. The participants were interviewed twice with an interval of 6 weeks between the two interviews. The second interview was to assess any changes in views and experiences of fathers during the interval. The two-interview structure also helped to check if the narratives were consistent across two interviews (W. W. Li, 2013). All interviews were digitally audio-recorded, with the interviews lasting between 45 and 60 min. The participants were also given an AU$20 gift card as a token of appreciation at the end of the interview. A total of 13 participants took part in the first interview and five participated in the second interview. The main reason for not participating in the second interview was unavailability. The two interviews took place between September and December 2019. A total of nine participants were recruited from a regional city in Queensland, and four participants were recruited from a capital city in Victoria.

本研究旨在以澳大利亚男性为样本，识别与围产期父亲心理困扰相关的风险因素。本研究采用混合研究设计，通过访谈同时完成两项目标：一是探索围产期父亲心理困扰的相关风险因素，二是深入剖析父亲为适配围产期阶段日益增加的育儿责任，如何重构自身男性性别角色。

W. Li, 2013）。所有访谈均进行数字化录音，单场访谈时长为45至60分钟。访谈结束后，参与者将获赠20澳元礼品卡以表谢意。本次研究共有13名参与者参与首次访谈，其中5人参与了第二次访谈，未参与第二次访谈的主要原因为时间不便。两次访谈均于2019年9月至12月期间开展。研究共招募9名来自昆士兰州某地区城市的参与者，以及4名来自维多利亚州首府城市的参与者。
