Men's educational needs assessment in terms of their participation in prenatal, childbirth, and postnatal care.

Background: Despite the importance of men's role in prenatal care and its impact on the outcome of a high-risk pregnancy, in many countries, including Iran, men are not aware of their real needs. Since the first step in designing any health plan is to identify the needs of the target population and that no program can be effective without considering the actual needs of the target group, this study aimed to identify men's educational needs for participation in prenatal, childbirth, and postnatal care.

Materials And Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 280 men were selected in Kashan city, Iran, in 2015.
