Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to develop an educational program to promote fathers’ participation in childcare and household chores. The amount of time spent on household chores significantly increased in the intervention group. In addition, acceptance of the father’s role in household chores and confidence in their childcare ability significantly increased in the intervention group. These results indicate the efficacy of this educational program to promote first-time fathers’ participation in household chores.
