African men's involvement in pregnancy and childbirth
Short description
This project includes a number of studies of African men living in both Cameroon and Sweden.
Previous research has shown that men's involvement during pregnancy and childbirth is low in African countries. Many African women prefer to bring a sister or mother to the delivery ward in Sweden as well.
Objectives
1. Experiences and views of first-time fathers in pregnancy-related care: a qualitative study in Buea Sub-division, Cameroon
2. Perceptions about the cultural practices of male partners during pregnancy and childbirth in Buea Sub-division, Cameroon: a qualitative study
