Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between family health, family health, and parenting attitudes of fathers with early childhood children. Methods As for the research method, data were collected using the father's original family health, family health, and parenting attitude test tools, and after conducting a preliminary survey of 10 fathers, the main survey was conducted. A questionnaire was distributed to fathers of kindergarten students in K city, Gyeonggi-do, and a total of 244 fathers were studied, excluding 28 unfaithful out of 272 collected questionnaires. For the analysis method, descriptive statistical analysis and Pearson correlation analysis were performed using SPSS 26. Results As a result of the study, the father’s family of origin health, the family health, then parenting attitudes of Fathers were found. This can be interpreted to mean that the father perceives the current family relationship positively and perceives it as a positive experience with the family of origin. On the other hand, the parenting attitude is relatively low, suggesting the need to supplement the child rearing attitude. As a result of examining the relationship between father's family health, family health, and parenting attitude, each factor showed a positive correlation. The relationship between sub-factors generally showed a positive correlation, but the controlling attitude showed a negative correlation. This can be interpreted that fathers with high control attitude scores have low family health and family health scores. Conclusions It was found that the parenting attitude of fathers with young children has an important relationship between the health of the family of origin and the health of the family. This suggests that it is necessary to expand fathers' participation in educational institutions for active participation of fathers and the formation of desirable parenting attitudes. Finally, the results of this study are meaningful as basic data for data development for fathers.
