After cesarean delivery, mothers often miss early skin-to-skin contact (SSC) because of surgical recovery. This review explored the effects of father-initiated SSC on neonatal physiological stability, neonatal behavioral responses, and paternal psychological well-being. This study adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Six databases were searched for relevant articles published until October 2024; an updated literature search was performed in April 2025. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving full-term cesarean-born newborns receiving paternal SSC were included in this review. Study quality was assessed using the modified Jadad scale. Evidence level was determined on the basis of the criteria outlined by the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine. In total, six RCTs (N = 324) revealed that father–infant SSC promoted thermal stability, regulated heart rate and oxygen saturation, reduced crying, and enhanced prefeeding behaviors. Fathers reported reduced anxiety and depression and strengthened parent–child bonding after SSC. No adverse events were noted. The modified Jadad score for study quality ranged from 5 to 6.5, corresponding to Level 2 evidence. Father-initiated SSC is a safe and effective alternative when maternal SSC is delayed. It supports neonatal physiological regulation and paternal psychological adaptation. Further large, multicenter RCTs are warranted. |
