Background and Objectives: Men's participation in all stages of mother and child life has significant effects on their psychological and physical health. Male participation is an important strategy in achieving the millennium development goals, including empowering women and promoting maternal health. This research was conducted with the aim of identifying the role of the family in promoting men's participation in perinatal care.
Materials and Methods: In this qualitative study, 45 participants including pregnant women and their husbands, healthcare providers, managers and health policymakers were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth individual interviews, focused group discussions, and field notes, and analyzed simultaneously using conventional qualitative content analysis.
Results: After analyzing the data, the main category of "change in family education policies" was obtained. This main category was derived from two sub-categories: "proper upbringing of boys in the family" and "men's readiness to participate". “Proper upbringing of boys in the family" includes two sub-categories "using the family context in teaching participation to boys" and " the existence of a culture of participation in relatives and friends ". “Men's readiness to participate” includes two sub-categories "men desire to participate and accept responsibility" and "men disregard for social norms".
Conclusions: The findings of this study can be used to explain and highlight the strategy to change in family education policies, using family-centered Islamic teachings that emphasize people's attention to their rights and mutual responsibilities, as well as cooperation and empathy of couples and promote the participatory role of men in pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum care.
