  La paternidad en Latinoamérica : Como expresa el padre  el impacto ante su bebé nacido?  . Berlin 2008                            Dra. Alicia Oiberman   Resumen El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el impacto  emocional  del padre ante el recién nacido.Para ello se  elaboró  una Escala de Observación Paterna ( EOP) . Se aplicó la EOP a 60 padres de bebes , durante las primeras 72 hs  de nacimiento en un hospital público de Buenos Aires.(Argentina).La observación se realizó en las salas de internación conjunta madre - bebe . Los padres tenían entre  18 y 52 años y 27 eran primerizos.. Se analizó la frecuencia  de aparición  de las cinco conductas  observadas en la EOP.:Mirar al bebe, tocarlo,  sostenerlo en brazos , besarlo y hablarle. De los 60 padres observados ,55 (91%) realizaron conductas de acercamiento al bebe. Realizaron cuatro  conductas ( mirar, tocar, sostener, besar) 5 padres.Tres conductas : 19 padres,  dos  conductas:13 y una sola conducta 18 padres. No  realizaron ninguna conducta : 5 padres. Los resultados  obtenidos  llevan a reflexionar que el ser padre  emerge ante la presencia real del recien nacido , como un   potencial innato que posee el hombre pero  se desarrolla ante el nacimiento de su hijo. “ Sabemos que sólo una mujer puede convertir un embrión en un niño … pero  sólo un padre puede convertir  un niño en hombre.” ( Sinay ,1994)   The fatherhood in Latin America: How does the father express the impact that the birth of his baby produces on him? Berlín, 2008 Dra. Alicia Oiberman   Abstract The aim of this article is to assess the emotional impact that the birth of the newborn baby produces on the father. In order to accomplish this, a paternal observation scale (POS) was elaborated. The POS was applied to 60 fathers of babies, during the first 72 hours after birth, in a public hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The observations took place in the rooms where mothers and babies are interned together. The age of the fathers varied between 18 and 52 years old, and for 27 of them it was their first child.The frequency of 5 observed behaviors - in the POS-  was analyzed: looking at the baby, touching the baby, holding the baby in his arms, kissing the baby and talking to the baby.Out of 60 fathers observed, 55 fathers (91%) showed behaviors of approaching the baby: 4 behaviors (looking at, touching, holding and kissing the baby) were observed in 5 fathers; 3 behaviors were observed in 19 fathers; 2 behaviors in 13 fathers and 1 behavior in 18 fathers; 5 fathers did not present any of these behaviors.       The aim of this article is to assess the emotional impact that the birth of the newborn baby produces on the father. In order to accomplish this, a paternal observation scale (POS) was elaborated. The POS was applied to 60 fathers of babies, during the first 72 hours after birth, in a public hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The results lead us to consider that being a father emerges with the real presence of the newborn son / daughter, as an innate potential that men have, but it develops when his baby is born.
