Italy has experienced a recent surge in immigration, which has led to an increase in the country's birth rate. Many immigrant mothers are adolescent parents. 30 adolescent mothers (17 recent immigrants and 13 adolescents of Italian descent) completed measures of adolescent self-development and motherhood, perceived availability and satisfaction with social support, and emotional and behavioral characteristic of their children. Findings suggest that immigrant teen mothers show more difficulties related to parenting than do Italian born teen mothers. In particular, immigrant teen mothers report lower levels of social support satisfaction and availability, higher levels of parent-child dysfunction, and experience motherhood and child behavior as more problematic. The findings highlight and confirm the need for well-designed, specific supportive services for adolescent immigrant mothers.
意大利最近经历了移民潮，这导致该国出生率上升。许多移民母亲是青少年父母。30位青少年母亲（17位新移民和13位意大利裔青少年）完成了青少年自我发展和母亲角色、对社会支持的感知可及性和满意度，以及其子女的情绪和行为特征等方面的测评。研究结果表明，与意大利本土青少年母亲相比，移民青少年母亲在育儿方面面临更多困难。特别是，移民青少年母亲报告的社会支持满意度和可及性较低，亲子功能障碍水平较高，并且认为母亲角色和孩子行为问题更大。这些研究结果凸显并证实了为移民青少年母亲提供精心设计的特定支持服务的必要性。
