Abstract

Objective: Through this study, we sought to point out the nurses' actions to promote the father's participation in prenatal care. Methods: This is a descriptive, qualitative study carried out with ten (10) nurses from Basic Health Units in the interior of Ceará through semi-structured interviews and content analysis. Results: The professionals involved in the research reported understanding the importance of the father's participation in prenatal care; however, most interviewees demonstrated that they did not have adequate prior knowledge on the subject and did not report effective measures to attract these men to the consultation. Conclusion: It was noticed that the biggest challenges to the effective participation of parents in prenatal care are found in social and cultural barriers, the lack of theoretical preparation of nurses to work with the theme, and the almost absence of government policies and incentives to work with the male audience.
