Becoming a Father: A Qualitative Research on the Journey to Fatherhood

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

BackgroundThe transition to fatherhood represents one of the most significant changes in a man&apos;s life that brings many challenges. Despite the great importance of this period, there does not exist much empirical data on it with only a small amount of psychological research on fatherhood available in the Czech Republic; this topic is also rather marginalized abroad. This qualitative study aims to explore men&apos;s unique experiences with the process of becoming a father and to understand how paternal identity is shaped.Participants and procedureFour men who had recently become fathers participated in the research. A semi-structured interview was conducted with each of them.ResultsUsing the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach, an in-depth analysis of the data identified five significant categories that emerge during the transition to fatherhood: responsibility and commitment to the child, father identity formation, fatherhood and motherhood, changes in the partner relationship and coping with the father role.ConclusionsResearch suggests that the process of becoming a father is a long-term dynamic process, in which father identity is shaped and consolidated through a variety of situations and experiences. Within this process, paternal identity is also shaped through repeated comparisons and definitions of the role of the mother. Process of becoming a father involves developmental, identity, personality, partnership and family aspects.
