背景:在护理研究和实践中,关于父亲如何看待自己在塑造子女健康行为方面的作用的信息很少。关于影响儿童健康行为的父母因素的研究大多集中在母亲的作用上。然而,最近的研究表明,父亲的健康行为可以影响他们的孩子。因此,这项研究的目的是综合现有的定性研究,以探讨父亲如何影响儿童肥胖相关健康行为的观点。
方法:我们进行了描述性荟萃合成。要检索相关文章,我们使用的数据库包括PubMed,CINAHL,和WebofScience。只有定性研究发表在英语同行评审期刊上,针对2-18岁儿童的父亲,并关注父亲的观点。从研究中收集的所有报价都经过了审查和编码,主题分析用于推导主题。
结果:文章筛选和审查共产生了13项定性研究,从中出现了以下主题:(1)父亲的育儿实践和榜样行为,(2)父亲在与家庭成员的关系中的角色,和(3)父亲的资源寻求行为和对家庭食物环境的贡献。父亲们意识到,他们的育儿实践和角色建模行为可能会影响孩子的健康行为。此外,父亲认识到他们与家庭成员关系的重要性,这反映在他们的家庭角色上;也就是说,他们是否负责育儿和家务,他们的育儿方式是否与配偶相似,以及他们是否让孩子参与他们的活动。父亲们还报告了他们寻求资源的行为以及他们对家庭食物环境的贡献,这影响了他们孩子的健康行为。
结论:父亲对儿童健康行为影响的观点揭示了父亲在影响儿童健康行为方面的独特作用。父亲的观点可以纳入未来的护理研究,以检查父亲的角色与儿童的健康行为之间的关系,以制定更好的健康干预计划。
BACKGROUND: In nursing research and practice, there is a paucity of information about how fathers perceive their role in shaping their children\'s health behaviors. Most studies on the parental factors affecting children\'s health behaviors have focused on the role of mothers. However, recent studies showed that fathers\' health behaviors can influence those of their children. Therefore, the aim of this study was to synthesize existing qualitative studies to explore fathers\' perspectives regarding how they influence children\'s obesity-related health behaviors.
METHODS: We conducted a descriptive meta-synthesis. To retrieve relevant articles, we used databases including PubMed, CINAHL, and Web of Science. Only qualitative studies published in English-language peer-reviewed journals, targeting fathers of children aged 2-18 years, and focusing on fathers\' perspectives were included. All the quotes collected from the studies were reviewed and coded, and thematic analysis was used to derive themes.
RESULTS: Article screening and review yielded a total of 13 qualitative studies, from which the following themes emerged: (1) fathers\' parenting practices and role-modeling behaviors, (2) fathers\' roles in their relationships with their family members, and (3) fathers\' resource-seeking behaviors and contributions to their home food environment. Fathers were aware that their parenting practices and role-modeling behaviors could influence their children\'s health behaviors. Furthermore, fathers recognized the importance of their relationships with family members, which was reflected in their family roles; that is, whether they took responsibility for childcare and household work, whether their parenting practices were similar to those of their spouses, and whether they involved their children in their activities. Fathers also reported their resource-seeking behaviors as well as their contribution to the home food environment, which affected their children\'s health behaviors.
CONCLUSIONS: Fathers\' perspectives on their influence on children\'s health behaviors reveal their unique paternal role in influencing children\'s health behaviors. Fathers\' perspectives could be incorporated into future nursing research to examine the relationship between fathers\' roles and children\'s health behaviors to develop better health intervention programs.
