title: [Family issues after the birth of a child].
abstract: After the birth of a child, all members of the family are expected to adapt. This common nursing practice in Québec provides considerable support for the parents. The maternity nurse, in order to establish the father's specific needs to help him adapt to being a parent, can, thanks to a short interview, define the strengths and resources offered by each member of the family.
