Limited research exists on young girls' expectations of self-care related to menarche. No studies specifically focus on black girls. This study describes the self-care agency of a group of black premenarcheal girls with respect to menarche. Data were collected through audiotaped interviews from a standardized schedule of questions based on Orem's theory. A verified content analysis was conducted. Family system elements, sociocultural orientation, peers, and developmental state were determined to be important in conditioning the self-care agency in preparation for menarche. Girls had difficulty estimating what self-care should take place although there was some ability to acquire and retain knowledge from an authoritative and personal source. Menarche was viewed as an event involving self-care in the areas of two requisites: elimination and social interaction.
关于少女对与初潮相关的自我护理的期望，现有研究有限。没有研究专门聚焦于黑人女孩。本研究描述了一组黑人初潮前女孩在初潮方面的自我护理能力。数据通过基于奥瑞姆理论的标准化问题清单进行的录音访谈收集。进行了验证性内容分析。家庭系统因素、社会文化取向、同龄人以及发育状态被确定在为初潮做准备时调节自我护理能力方面很重要。尽管女孩们有一定能力从权威和个人来源获取并保留知识，但她们在估计应该进行何种自我护理方面存在困难。初潮被视为在两个必要领域涉及自我护理的一个事件：排泄和社交互动。
