| Abstrakt: | Background: The involvement of husbands and male partners in childbirth no longer ceases at conception and pregnancy, rather fathers wish to be more involved in supporting their partners during childbirth. This aligns with the World Health Organization's (WHO) call for promoting male participation in childbirth, emphasising the benefits of support and the positive impact attending childbirth has for husbands/partners, and their maternal partner. This knowledge has led to global initiatives promoting "humanised" birth and a family-approach. To gain in-depth insight and understanding of childbirth attendance from the perspectives of fathers, a qualitative evidence synthesis is proposed. Methods: To explore fathers' experiences, views, and perspectives of childbirth attendance. All studies that used qualitative methodologies to explore the phenomenon of interest will be included. MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, MIDIRS, Web of Science, and Google Scholar will be systematically searched from their dates of inception to present, supplemented by a search for grey literature and a search of the reference list of included studies. Peer Review of Electronic Search Strategies (PRESS) will be used to ensure the comprehensiveness of the search strategy. Methodological quality assessment of included studies, using The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme assessment tool, and will be extracted from the included studies by two reviewers independently using a standard data extraction form. Thomas and Harden's three-stage approach will be used to thematically synthesise the data: coding of data, developing descriptive themes, and generation of analytical themes. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation-Confidence in the Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative research (GRADE-CERQual confidence in the synthesised findings Comprehensive insight and understanding of fathers' perspectives of childbirth attendance will be ascertained.
