RESUMO:

One of the consequences of the little attention given to the health of the man is that he does not have

spaces to talk about conflict situations, such as becoming a father. Moreover, culturally is attributed to

men to remain stable emotionally and not express their emotions. Such factors contribute to the illness

of men, and parental depression is the most current expression of the described scenario. Conducting

studies with the male audience is needed, mainly to allow the investigation of factors that promote the

formation of parent-infant bond, allowing future public health interventions in order to promote such

factors. The scientific literature has shown that this bond acts as a promoter of the healthy development

of the baby. The formation of a bond between father and baby since pregnancy, and especially in the

postpartum period allows man to have a better preparation for the exercise of parenthood. The

objective of the research is to build a postpartum paternal attachment scale. This is a multi-methods

search, and it contains methods and analysis of qualitative and quantitative research divided in 3

studies. In Study 1 were conducted integrative review about the concept of attachment and about the

assessment tools of paternal attachment postpartum. In study 2 were conducted twelve interviews with

parents of different education levels to meet their concept of attachment and the factors believed to

have contributed to the formation of this bond. The content of the interviews were treated by classical

content analysis. The explicit attachment concepts formed two categories: on the first, attachment was

defined as the need to be close to the child and care for him; on the second, attachment was defined as

the expression of affection for their children. These results suggest that parental attachment is still

bound to the responsibilities assigned to the paternal function towards material support. Study 2 gives

theoretical basis for construction of the instruments’ items and its semantic appropriateness. The study

3 analyzes the psychometric properties of the instrument, and begins with submission for evaluation of

experts to validate the construct attachment present in the instrument. The pilot application was carried

out, and then the application of the final version of the instrument with 228 parents in Maternities in

Natal / RN and others cities of the state. Factor analysis revealed items with low factor loadings, which

were excluded, leaving 31 items in the end. The instrument consists of two factors entitled

"Investments of the father towards the baby" and "Attitudes, feelings and expectations directed at the

baby." The analysis indicated that the final instrument has good internal consistency. It indicates the

need of further studies to verify the criteria validity.
