SUMMARY:

Introduction: the construction of paternal identity is a transactional process and requires the involvement of men in the context in neonatal care, when the premature delivery of the child occurs unexpectedly. It involves subjective and complex aspects in addition to new adaptive activities and affective skills, so that it can be participated in the third stage proposed by the Kangaroo Mother Care Method. Objective: to describe the experience of the father in the care of the preterm child in the third stage of the Kangaroo Mother Care Method. Method: descriptive study with qualitative approach, carried out at the Maternity School Januario Cicco, reference in neonatal care, in the municipality of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, from March to July 2022. Seven parents who experienced care for the premature child in the third stage of the Kangaroo Mother Care Method participated in the participants. For data collection, a questionnaire with sociodemographic data was used and in-depth open interviews were conducted, closed by the criterion of data saturation. The participants' characterization variables were typed into a Microsoft Office Excel spreadsheet and analyzed using descriptive statistics (absolute and relative values). The interviews were recorded, transcribed and transcribed in a LibreOffice document, giving rise to the corpora for processing and analysis. Initially, exploratory reading of the interviews was performed to highlight the main ideas of the participants and preparation of methodological and substantial memoranda.  The corpora were processed in the SOFTWARE IRAMUTEQ, through lexographic analyses: Descending Hierarchical Classification, Similitude Analysis and Factorial Analysis of Correspondence by categorical variable, associated with Bardin content analysis. Study approved by CEP/UFRN, Opinion: 5.269.9903, CAEE: 52591021.9.0000.5537. Results: the integration of the categories allowed the emergence of the central category: "The construction of paternal identity mediated by the love of the premature child in the Kangaroo Mother Care Method" from four dominant categories: Category I (Class 02) - The transition of care experienced by the nursing-mediated father; Category II (Class 01 and 05) - Producing new paternal senses from the routine of child care and the desire to care for the premature child; Category III (Class 03 and 04) - Positive religious/spiritual coping as a coping strategy to deal with the child's prematurity; Category IV (Class 06) - Feeling like a father in child care in the MC. It was identified that the construction of paternal identity is mediated by paternal love for the child, which is built from the maturation and sense of responsibility that arise substantially in the postpartum period.  The early connection established with the premature child, the new care routine initiated in the hospital environment and extended to the family home mediated by nursing in the third phase of the Kangaroo Method and the continuous contact mediated by love and desire to care and contribute to the confrontation of obstacles and acquisition of new paternal competencies in the daily relationship between father and child. Thus, paternal love is propitiated by the intimacy established between father and child in parenting. Final considerations: it was revealed that the construction of paternal identity is based on the relationships established with the child as he acquires a proactive and engaging posture, in the redefinition of personal priorities experienced in daily care and by the love he feels for the child, in the third stage of the Kangaroo Mother Care Method. It is considered that the results support the thesis that the father should be involved early in all phases proposed by the neonatal care of the Kangaroo Method, for the effectiveness of care after hospital discharge. Moreover, the health professionals involved, in particular, nursing should recognize the paternal role in the child's life and in the positive impacts for their growth and development, as well as and promote the use of positive strategies, such as religious coping, in overcoming the challenges of fatherhood.
