Risk factors for paternal depression and anxiety in the perinatal period: Qualitative interviews

The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors associated with paternal perinatal mental distress in a sample of Australian men. A mixed-methods design was used. Interviews were conducted to explore the risk factors associated with paternal perinatal mental distress but also to provide an insight on the reconstruction of masculine gender role by fathers to accommodate the increasing responsibilities within the perinatal period.

Extract [Related publication]: The study was advertised using James Cook University panel, social media, and the research team’s networks. Eligible potential participants were provided with an information sheet and a consent form. Once the first author received signed consent, the participants were contacted by the first author to discuss their queries and to discuss time and place for the interview. The participants were interviewed twice with an interval of 6 weeks between the two interviews. The second interview was to assess any changes in views and experiences of fathers during the interval. The two-interview structure also helped to check if the narratives were consistent across two interviews (W. W. Li, 2013). All interviews were digitally audio-recorded, with the interviews lasting between 45 and 60 min. The participants were also given an AU$20 gift card as a token of appreciation at the end of the interview. A total of 13 participants took part in the first interview and five participated in the second interview. The main reason for not participating in the second interview was unavailability. The two interviews took place between September and December 2019. A total of nine participants were recruited from a regional city in Queensland, and four participants were recruited from a capital city in Victoria.
