This study explored the experiences of fathers with prematurely-born children with cerebral palsy, with a focus on how such experiences influenced their families. Methods A qualitative case study method was used. Nine subjects were recruited from April 2018 to June 2019 at one hospital, and each was interviewed three times by a neonatal nurse. Results Five core experiences of fathers were identified: regret for an insufficient initial response, confronting my child born as a premature baby, the position of being a dad who can't do anything, the process of treatment like a tunnel with no exit, and a father's getting meaning in life through children. These stories covered an individual's timeline and family interactions. Conclusion Our findings suggest that fathers of prematurely-born children tend to suppress their emotions; therefore, a novel intervention program to encourage fathers’ emotional expression and to support healthier interactions with their families is needed. Moreover, our findings could contribute basic information for the construction of a community-based support system to aid families, including prematurely-born children and other persons with impairments.Jisun ParkKyung-Sook BangKorean Academy of Child Health Nursingarticlepremature infantcerebral palsyfathersparentingqualitative researchMedicineRENChild Health Nursing Research, Vol 27, Iss 1, Pp 75-85 (2021)
