Abstract
The aim was to analyze the scientific productions that deal with the presence of the father in prenatal care in Primary Health Care. An integrative literature review was carried out in the Virtual Health Library and Scientific Electronic Library Online databases, in which it was used the following descriptors: “father, parent-child relationship, prenatal care, primary health care, family health strategy, pregnancy, pregnancy, health policy, men, male”. In all, 992 scientific articles were found, when applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 787 articles were excluded because they did not comply with the theme and 193 articles excluded because they were repeated in the database (in both). Only seven were selected for this research, of which it was possible to identify three categories: Father's participation in prenatal care, Factors that prevent father's participation in prenatal care and Actions and strategies for father's adhesion. In order to increase the father's participation during prenatal care, measures are necessary, such as: the training of health professionals to encourage parents, legal measures that guarantee the presence of parents in consultations and educational practices are carried out and disseminated to society.
