This study explored barriers to depression treatment in low-income, unmarried, adolescent mothers in a southern, urban area of the United States. The authors utilized a phenomenological approach and focus group methodology. Participants (n = 9) were enrolled in a teen parent program, an option of the public school system. The metaphor of a merry-go-round emerged from the data and represented the ups and downs that the adolescent mothers experience as they struggle to adjust to the role of mother. Their knowledge of postpartum depression and depression treatment occurred in the context of their demographics and their desire to create a family for their baby, their fears, and surprise at the reality of mothering. Childbirth education for adolescent mothers should include information on depression and the process of depression treatment.
本研究探讨了美国南部一个城市地区低收入、未婚、未成年母亲接受抑郁症治疗的障碍。作者采用了现象学方法和焦点小组方法。参与者（n=9）参加了青少年父母项目，这是公立学校系统的一个选择。“旋转木马”的隐喻源自数据，代表了青少年母亲在努力适应母亲角色时所经历的起伏。她们对产后抑郁症和抑郁症治疗的了解是在她们的人口统计学背景以及为她们的孩子创造家庭的愿望、她们的恐惧以及为人母的现实的惊讶的背景下产生的。青少年母亲的生育教育应该包括有关抑郁症和抑郁症治疗过程的信息。
