Construct Validity Testing of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Paternal Needs Inventory
The study established the construct validity of the Neonatal Paternal Needs Inventory that measures the physical, emotional, and psychological needs of neonatal intensive care unit fathers. The instrument could be used to assess fathers' needs and develop father-specific interventions. Further research is needed to see if fathers' needs change over time.
