Are you a dad with experience in High-Risk Pregnancy?
Are you a father of a child born to a High-Risk Pregnancy?
As part of my doctoral thesis, I am currently recruiting fathers with experience in High-Risk Pregnancy who live in the UK. This study aims to understand how fathers experience high-risk pregnancies. I hope that this study will help us better understand fathers' needs during and after a high-risk pregnancy.
Understanding fathers' experiences are as important as understanding mothers' experiences. However, Fathers' voices are not heard because there has been little research exploring fathers' experiences and needs during a high-risk pregnancy.
Many fathers around the world go through this journey alone and in silence. I want this study to offer you a space to share your story and voice, so health professionals, mental health practitioners, and the wider community can better understand how you live this experience as a father.
If you have experienced a high-risk pregnancy and are interested in sharing your unique journey with me, please do not hesitate to contact me via email: u2050281@uel.ac.uk. If you are happy to take part, you'll be asked to attend an informal interview which would ask some questions about your experience.
ARE YOU ELIGIBLE?
