Lack of experience, fear of harming the baby and lack of self\u2010confidence regarding caregiving skills emerged as significant difficulties experienced by the fathers in newborn care. The fathers pointed out that their wives, healthcare professionals and family members were important sources of support, while demanding work schedules, limited paternity leave and traditional gender roles were among the leading barriers limiting their participation in caregiving.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The fathers were willing to participate in newborn care, but their participation in the care process was limited owing to individual, social and structural barriers. It is believed that strengthening their caregiving skills and creating supportive environmental conditions will increase their participation in newborn care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Implications for Practice<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Healthcare professionals, particularly pediatric and neonatal nurses, should develop father\u2010focused training programmes and provide guidance on care practices to encourage fathers to participate in newborn care actively.
