Résumé
Problème. Les pères sont engagés, en période postnatale, dans la construction de leurs perceptions d’efficacité parentale. Pourtant, on en sait peu sur ce qui aide les pères à construire leurs perceptions d’efficacité. De même, l’apport des premiers événements de la transition à la paternité dans l’expérience paternelle est méconnu. Objectif. 1. Identifier les perceptions des pères primipares des événements critiques de la période postnatale. 2. Examiner la contribution de ces événements à la construction des perceptions d’efficacité des pères primipares. Méthode. Une étude descriptive quantitative auprès de 160 pères d’un premier enfant. Résultats. Les pères primipares ont une expérience riche et diversifiée durant les premiers moments de leur transition à la paternité. L’alliance parentale et une faible anxiété contribuent aux perceptions d’efficacité de ces pères.
Abstract
The issue. During the post-natal period, fathers are occupied with developing their own concept of what is meant by parental efficiency. But we have little information as to what does indeed help them develop this concept of efficiency. We also have little idea of how the initial transition to fatherhood contributes to the paternal experience. Objective. 1. To identify how first-time fathers perceive the critical events of the postnatal period. 2. To examine the contribution of such events to the construction of first-time fathers’ concept of efficiency. Method. A quantitative descriptive survey of 160 first-time fathers. Results. First-time fathers undergo a richly textured and diversified experience during those first moments of transition to fatherhood. The parental alliance and a low level of anxiety contribute to their concept of efficiency.
