Abstract

From pregnancy onwards, the transition to fatherhood is a challenging major life event. An imbalance between personal stressors and protective factors is associated with paternal mental health problems. Resilience can protect against developing such problems and support this transition. Resilience resources are multidimensional at intra-individual, interpersonal and, societal levels. We know little about the resilience resources of first-time fathers. This study aimed to explore which factors fathers experience as resilience resources potentially mitigating the influence of stressors during the transition to fatherhood.
