Description
Objectives:To describe the experiences of husbands who attended their wives’ childbirth. Methods:Qualitative and descriptive analysis of narratives from eleven husbands of primipara women who consented to this study. A questionnaire was used as guide for participants based on the Guidelines for Interview Questions. Results:Six thematic categories were revealed from the narratives of husbands describing their experiences when they attended their wives’ childbirth. These are : ‘feeling pleasure and excitement to have my own baby’, ‘trying to do what I can do through trial and error although there may be little I can do’, ‘feeling respect for my wife who is becoming a mother’, ‘having a sense of being a father’, ‘trusting in healthcare professionals and having various feelings towards them’, and ‘trying to understand what childbirth is in my own way’. Conclusion:Although the husbands felt their helplessness, in this situation, they also felt the excitement of having their own baby- they were hopeful and tried to do what they could do through trial and error. Healthcare workers need to understand the husbands’ experiences while attending their wives’ childbirth, not showing their own hardships and anxiety in front of their wives who were experiencing the joys and pain of childbirth, and to help them to make the childbirth a wonderful experience for them and for their wives as well.
