Abstract
Introduction: The implementation processes in the accompaniment of women in birth labor in Colombian institutions are deficient and without solid support in nursing theories, however, as the world progresses, new fathers seek to be involved in the birth of their child.
Objective: To understand the experience of fathers who experienced the birth of their child in a health institution in Bogotá (Colombia) between July 2018 and March 2019.
Method: An interpretive phenomenological qualitative study that integrated the nursing theory of Human Development proposed by Rosemarie Rizzo Parse. The information was collected through interviews with 8 fathers with non-participant and participant observation, field diaries and phone calls.
Results: The father's experience was consolidated in 3 themes: the birth of the fathers, the three of us are there and nursing excellent support.
Discussion: The study allows us to penetrate into a nurtured structure of a father's feelings, sensations, attitudes, and values, essential to living the experience as described.
Conclusion: The parents who had the process of human development began with the structuring of the meaning it was as important as my own life, then they went through the configuration of their rhythmic guidelines that refers to they chose to be present and, finally, they co-transcended towards the desired parenthood. The results serve as a guide for nursing care of the parents who experience the birth of their children, based on a real presence. They also show the importance of strengthening nursing policies, plans, and guidelines.
