dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between postpartum psychosocial stressors, communication patterns, coping strategies, and mental health issues in fathers. The data was collected from fathers (N-123) having one or two babies with age range of birth till six months. Snowball sampling technique was used for data collection. For Postpartum Psychosocial Stressors and Coping Strategies, two scales were developed by using four step model of scale development. The data was collected by using four scales i.e., Postpartum Psychosocial Stressors Scale (PPSS), Communication Patters Scale (CPS) (Shafi & Subhan, 2019), Coping Strategies Scale (CSS) and for mental health issues DASS-21 (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995) was administrated. Results indicated that postpartum psychosocial stressors were positively correlated with maladaptive coping strategies and mental health issues i.e., depression and stress and negatively correlated with affectionate communication patterns and anxiety. Through Multiple Hierarchical Regression, it was proposed that fathers’ occupation, postpartum psychosocial stressors, maladaptive coping strategies and emotionally distant communication patterns were significant positive predictors of mental health issues in fathers. The t-Test revealed that fathers having jobs were facing more postpartum psychosocial stressors and mental health issues than those doing business.
