Abstract
The father's role in the modern family has been less studied and is poorly defined in the literature. Through an interview and qualitative analysis, we intend to explore paternal involvement in the context of hospitalization due to premature childbirth. This is exploratory and transversal study. We used semi-structured interviews to evaluate the emotional involvement of five parents with their children. Content analysis was used to analyse the interviews. The results revealed there are favourable conditions to make paternal involvement possible and beneficial for both father and child. The involvement appeared to be multidimensional and was subsequently classified as positive in this research. These fathers considered that early involvement/bonding with the premature baby was crucial for the future of their relationship. The condition of hospitalization for preterm birth seems to be a situation that, although hard and anxiogenic, also offers possibilities for contact and father involvement with the newborn. BONDING E PREMATURIDADE: ESTUDO EXPLORATÓRIO SOBRE O ENVOLVIMENTO PATERNO EM CONTEXTO HOSPITALAR RESUMO-O papel do pai na família moderna tem sido pouco estudado e mal é definido na literatura. Através de uma entrevista e análise qualitativa, explora-se o envolvimento paterno no contexto de hospitalização devido ao parto prematuro. Este é um estudo exploratório e transversal em que se usou entrevistas semi-estruturadas para avaliar o envolvimento emocional de cinco pais com seus filhos. A análise de conteúdo foi usada para analisar as entrevistas. Os resultados revelaram que existem condições favoráveis para tornar o envolvimento paterno possível e benéfico para ambos, pai e filho. O envolvimento paterno surge aqui como multidimensional. Os pais consideram esse envolvimento precoce/ligação com o bebé prematuro como crucial para o futuro da relação deles. A condição de hospitalização por parto prematuro parece ser uma situação que, embora difícil e anxiogénica, oferece possibilidades para o contacto e o envolvimento paterno com o bebé recém-nascido.
