Summary

This study looked at whether giving expectant fathers online training about basic newborn care helps them feel more capable and makes their pregnant partners feel more supported. Researchers enrolled 70 couples where the father was over 18, the pregnancy was in the third trimester, and the father had internet access. Fathers took a website-based training, and the team measured changes in fathers' self-efficacy and mothers' perception of spousal support. The goal was to see if this simple digital tool could improve family well-being during pregnancy.
