Introduction: One of the most important events that can happen in a man's life, is becoming a father, which causes huge changes in men's personality, lifestyle and identity. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between adaptation with paternal role and its fatherhood and offspring predictive factors in fathers attending to healthcare centers in Rasht.
Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional analytical study. The participants were 298 of fathers referring to healthcare centres and were chosen randomly. Paternal adaptation is measured with standardized paternity adaptation questionnaire (PAQ) that contains 38 items classified under five factors (ability in performing the roles and responsibilities; perceiving the parental development; stabilization in paternal position; spiritual stability and internal satisfaction; and challenges and concerns). Data were analyzed using Shapiro and Kruskal-Wallis test and Man Whitney and Spearman correlation test.
Results: Shapiro and Kruskal-Wallis tests showed that the paternal adaptation level was statistically significant in terms of the child's age (P <0.05). The father's age also had a significant inverse correlation with the level of paternal adaptation (r = -0.115) , (P =0.048).
Conclusions: Due to the results of this study, it seems that paternal ethnicity is the predictor of paternal adaptation among other predictors of paternal adaptation. the level of paternal adaptation in ability in performing the roles and responsibilities; perceiving the parental development; stabilization in paternal position; spiritual stability and internal satisfaction subscale were in favorable range but the challenges and concerns subscale was in unfavorable range
