Abstract

The prevalence of paternal depression in the postnatal period is estimated to be approximately 10 %. Effective partner education during pregnancy has the possibility to prevent postnatal mental health problems and support expectant fathers in their transition to parenthood. This paper describes the protocol of a systematic review that will investigate the effects of prenatal childbirth education for partners of pregnant women particularly on paternal postnatal mental health. We will search the databases of MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, ERIC, and CENTRAL, using related search terms such as "partners of pregnant women," "education," and "prenatal support." Searches will be limited to randomized trials. Two review authors will independently screen eligible studies and assess risk of bias. We will report structured summaries of the included studies and conduct meta-analysis. Postnatal mental health of fathers is reported to have various effects on the health of the whole family. Therefore, support for expectant fathers is an important issue in the maternal and perinatal health-care system. However, resources on prenatal childbirth education for partners of pregnant women remain limited. The results of this review will provide evidence for prenatal education programs for expectant fathers. PROSPERO CRD42015017919.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 June 2017.
All research outputs
#5,894,231
of 22,842,950 outputs
Outputs from Systematic Reviews
#1,126
of 1,999 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#96,064
of 397,089 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Systematic Reviews
#28
of 71 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,842,950 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,999 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.7. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 397,089 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 71 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 57% of its contemporaries.
