Exploring Indonesian fathers' educational needs in newborn care: A qualitative study.
Article in Belitung nursing journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Father involvement in newborn care is increasingly recognized as a key determinant of infant health and family well-being. In Indonesia, paternal roles in neonatal care are often overlooked, and father-specific educational support remains limited. Understanding fathers' lived experiences and learning needs is essential for developing effective, culturally appropriate interventions. Objective: This study aimed to explore the experiences and educational needs of Indonesian fathers in newborn care. Methods: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted using a thematic analysis approach. Sixteen fathers of infants aged 0-12 months were recruited through purposive sampling in Jakarta and the surrounding areas. Data were collected in 2024 through in-depth semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Braun and Clarke's six-step framework. Trustworthiness was ensured through audit trails, member checking, and peer debriefing. Results: Three major themes emerged: (1) social media as the main source of information, (2) fathers' practical involvement and learning needs in baby care, and (3) preference for visual and practical learning media. Fathers expressed strong motivation to be involved but faced challenges accessing reliable, father-focused educational content. Their learning preferences were shaped by practicality, time constraints, and the need for culturally relevant materials. Conclusion: Indonesian fathers are eager to participate in newborn care but lack structured educational support tailored to their needs. Pediatric nurses play a critical role in developing father-inclusive, digital, and culturally responsive interventions that enhance paternal self-efficacy and caregiving competence. Future programs should integrate father-focused digital interventions, such as video-based tutorials and podcasts, into pediatric nursing practice to effectively bridge the educational gap.
