Even though they are crucial for a positive pregnancy experience, many fathers may not be aware of the significance of their role in perinatal care. As it is important to identify the needs of the target population in the initial phases of a health plan in order to ensure success, the current systematic review is the first one to address the reported needs for men's antenatal education. Methods: All studies written in English and published between 1997 and 2021 relevant to the theme were included in the review. The electronic databases of various mainstream journals were used to evaluate 87 studies. Results: In total, the validity of 17 studies was determined based on their compliance with the inclusion criteria. According to the review, men's participation in antenatal education can significantly influence pregnancy, childbirth, parenting, couple's relationship, and overall family functioning. Conclusion: Providing face-to-face antenatal education to men by doctors or midwives is emphasized as an important component of perinatal care preparation because it leads to positive outcomes.
