Abstract

<p>A questionnaire survey was conducted to explore the perceptions of changes in nursing care given to fathers before and after the Covid-19 pandemic. The questionnaire included 31 items were used for pre and post-pandemic practices, and nurses were asked an open-ended question about what had changed.</p><p>Factor analysis was used to analyze and 5 factors were identified："direct support for fathers to understand and care for their children；" "support to promote fathers' roles according to their beliefs；" "support for fathers to utilize social resources；" "support for fathers to enable them to support the mothers," and "support to connect fathers with their wives in the hospital." Direct support for fathers became more difficult, and nursing practice other than remote involvement was significantly lower than before the COVID-19 pandemic. Under these circumstances, nurses were required［actively engage fathers］to gather more information and innovate means to include fathers in nursing care. In addition, nurses,［in conjunction with other members of the interdisciplinary team］，were able to identify those fathers that needed to be more involved.</p><p>Nurses need to provide fathers with support to promote the father role while addressing COVID-19 safety issues and assessing the needs of the affected child and family.</p>
