First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study interviews 30 couples (60 parents) after a planned cesarean section to understand how the father's presence or absence in the operating room affects both parents' emotional experience. Researchers will talk to parents 48-72 hours after birth, asking about their expectations, feelings, and support from staff. The goal is to gather insights that could improve hospital policies and family-centered care during C-sections.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help hospitals create policies that better support parents' emotional well-being during planned C-sections.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center qualitative study with only 60 participants. It is designed to gather experiences, not to test a treatment, so it will not directly change medical practice.
