Objective:To explore the latent class characteristics of fear of childbirth among expectant fathers of third trimester based on latent profile analysis, and to analyze the differences in characteristics among different classes and influencing factors.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select expectant fathers accompanying their partners for prenatal check-ups at Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine from March to September 2024 as the subjects of the investigation. A General Information Questionnaire, Fathers' Fear of Childbirth Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale were used for the survey; latent profile analysis was employed to explore the latent typing of fear of childbirth among expectant fathers of third trimester, and univariate analysis and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to investigate related influencing factors.Results:A total of 269 expectant fathers were included in the final analysis, aged 31 (29, 34) years old. The score of Fathers' Fear of Childbirth Scale was (49.58 ± 13.28); the scores of Perceived Social Support Scale was 64.00 (51.00, 71.50); the scores of Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale was 29.00 (26.00, 33.00); the score of Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale was 7.00 (5.00, 9.00). Latent profile analysis showed that the level of fear of childbirth among expectant fathers of third trimester could be divided into four latent classes: "low fear of childbirth-pain fear group" (19.0%, 51/269), "moderate fear of childbirth-maternal and infant safety concern group" (24.5%, 66/269), "moderate fear of childbirth-medical trust group" (32.0%, 86/269), and "high fear of childbirth-comprehensive group" (24.5%, 66/269). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that expectant fathers with high psychological resilience were more likely to be classified into the low fear of childbirth-pain fear group ( OR values ranged from 0.863 to 0.909, all P<0.05); expectant fathers with higher levels of prenatal depression were more likely to be classified into the high fear of childbirth-comprehensive group ( OR values ranged from 1.286 to 1.366, all P<0.05); compared with the low fear of childbirth-pain fear group, younger expectant fathers were more likely to be classified into the moderate fear of childbirth-medical trust group ( OR=0.871, P<0.05); compared with the moderate fear of childbirth-medical trust group, expectant fathers with lower family monthly income were more likely to be classified into the high fear of childbirth-comprehensive group ( OR=3.093, P<0.05). Conclusions:There are significant class characteristics in the level of fear of childbirth among expectant fathers of third trimester, and it is recommended that medical staff implement targeted personalized intervention measures based on the characteristics of each class to reduce the level of fear of childbirth among expectant fathers.
