Abstract
This article presents a clinical project of the development and evaluation of an educational intervention that aimed at promoting the development of a sense of mastery of the anticipated paternal role in soon-to-be fathers. The preventive role supplementation conceptual framework guided the development of 4 educational sessions that were delivered to 6 expectant fathers attending prenatal classes at a local community services center in Greater Montreal area. The participants highly appreciated the content and format of the educational intervention. They also expressed to have developed a sense of mastery of the anticipated paternal role. This interactive educational intervention, which focused on the specific needs of expectant fathers, seems appropriate to support men in their transition to fatherhood.
