Experiences of Fatherhood from an Urban Setting of a Middle Income Country

Abstract

Fatherhood is one of the landmark achievements in an individual's life, giving oneself, feelings of fulfillment and strengthening family ties. Never the less it is challenging too. Understanding these challenges is important for preparation and for effective performance of this role. Hence, through enrolling the first time fathers (n= 7) a study was conducted in an urban city for a middle-class income segment of the country. Results revealed that managing these challenges is important for smooth transition of a couple towards parenthood.
