Preterm births (PTB) are the largest obstetrical problem in
America. An infant's preterm birth presents an extraordinary life
situation for fathers, whose voices are rarely heard. A hermeneutic
phenomenological approach was used to explore the experience of
fathering preterm infants from fathers' perspectives. A purposive
sample of five fathers of infants born between 24 and 36 weeks
gestation participated in three semi-structured interviews over
four-months beginning within six months of the birth. Each father
took photographs expressing their experience of fathering. Van
Manen's phenomenological approach guided the analysis of interview
transcripts and photos and Madison's nine principles were used to
ensure rigor. Guided by van Manen's four existentials, the 10
emergent themes included "anticipating a future of possibilities,"
"worry, waiting and not knowing," "running out of time," "letting
others in my world," "living the space of fathering at home and
work," "fatherhood unleashed/ becoming closer," and "man in the
mirror." Findings will help inform nursing education, policy, and
innovative practices of caring for fathers in the community and
hospital settings.
