My research aims to explore and understand the mental health and wellbeing experiences of fathers whose babies have received neonatal palliative care. By bringing together perspectives from palliative care, applied social science, nursing, and health systems research, this study will enable interdisciplinary insights into the social, cultural, and structural dimensions that shape the mental health and wellbeing experiences of fathers during neonatal palliative care and identify their support needs.
