Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the \'real time\' expectations, experiences and needs of men who attend maternity services to inform the development of strategies to enhance men\'s inclusion.
METHODS: A qualitative descriptive design was adopted for the study. Semi-structured face-to-face or telephone interviews were conducted with 48 men attending the Royal Brisbane and Women\'s Hospital before and after their partner gave birth. Data were coded and analysed thematically.
RESULTS: Most respondents identified their role as a support person rather than a direct beneficiary of maternity services. They expressed the view that if their partner and baby\'s needs were met, their needs were met. Factors that contributed to a positive experience included the responsiveness of staff and meeting information needs. Factors promoting feelings of inclusion were being directly addressed by staff, having the opportunity to ask questions, and performing practical tasks associated with the birth.
CONCLUSIONS: Adopting an inclusive communication style promotes men\'s feelings of inclusion in maternity services. However, the participants\' tendency to conflate their needs with those of their partner suggests the ongoing salience of traditional gender role beliefs, which view childbirth primarily as the domain of women.

摘要：
目的：本研究旨在探索“实时”的期望，参加孕产服务的男性的经验和需求，为制定提高男性包容性的战略提供信息。
方法：本研究采用定性的描述性设计。在伴侣分娩前后，对48名在皇家布里斯班和妇女医院就诊的男性进行了半结构化的面对面或电话采访。对数据进行了主题编码和分析。
结果：大多数受访者认为他们的角色是支持人，而不是产妇服务的直接受益者。他们认为，如果他们的伴侣和婴儿的需求得到满足，他们的需求得到了满足。促成积极经验的因素包括工作人员的反应能力和满足信息需求。员工直接解决了促进包容感的因素，有机会提问，并执行与出生相关的实际任务。
结论：采用包容性的沟通方式可以促进男性对产妇服务的包容性。然而,参与者倾向于将他们的需求与伴侣的需求混为一谈，这表明传统性别角色观念的持续凸显，将分娩主要视为女性的领域。
