The purpose of this study was to investigate predictive factors of the self-care behaviors among Thai teenagers with primigravida. The samples of 206 primigravida teenagers attending ANC clinics of six hospitals in the North-Eastern region of Thailand were included. Data collection was done through self administered-questionnaire. Scales of the questionnaire had reliability coefficients ranging from 0.72 - 0.92. The data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that the percentage-mean score of overall self-care behavior was 76.91. The percentage-mean scores of self-care behaviors in specific trimester were found that the score in the second trimester was lower than the scores in the first and third trimesters (57.58, 60.45, and 64.65, respectively). Factors associated with overall self-care behavior were perceived self-efficacy, perceived social support from family, knowledge on self-care during pregnancy, accessibility to health services, self-esteem and age (r = 0.47, 0.34, 0.28, 0.24, 0.19, and 0.15, respectively). Perceived self-efficacy and knowledge on self-care during pregnancy were the two considerable predictors accounted for 25% of the variance in the self-care behaviors of Thai teenagers with primigravida.
本研究的目的是调查泰国初产妇青少年自我护理行为的预测因素。纳入了泰国东北部地区六家医院产前检查诊所的206名初产妇青少年样本。通过自填问卷进行数据收集。问卷量表的信度系数在0.72 - 0.92之间。采用描述性和推断性统计方法对数据进行分析。结果显示，总体自我护理行为的百分比平均得分为76.91。发现特定孕期自我护理行为的百分比平均得分中，孕中期得分低于孕早期和孕晚期（分别为57.58、60.45和64.65）。与总体自我护理行为相关的因素有自我效能感、来自家庭的社会支持感、孕期自我护理知识、获得医疗服务的便利性、自尊和年龄（相关系数分别为0.47、0.
