BACKGROUND
Teenage parenting is recognised as one of the greatest health and social problems in South Africa. Research in South Africa has shown that by the age of 18 years, more than 30% of teens have given birth at least once. Teen mothers may feel disempowered because they are 'othered' and consequently, may develop forms of resistance which in most cases may inhibit their ability to parent. Social support is therefore, an imperative intervention for successful teen parenting but this is not clearly understood in South Africa. This study aimed to compare the relationship between parental efficacy and social support systems of single teen mothers across different family forms.
METHODS
A quantitative methodology with a cross-sectional comparative correlation design was conducted with 160 single teen mothers who resided with a family in a low socio-economic community. The participants completed a self-report questionnaire that comprised of the Social Provisions Scale, and the Parenting Sense of Competence scale. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation were used to investigate the data.
RESULTS
A significant positive relationship between social support and parental efficacy was found. When comparing different family forms, single teen mothers' residing with one parent reported greater levels of parental efficacy and single teen mothers' residing with two parents, re-counted high levels of social support under the subscales; guide, reliable and nurture. However, when computing for guardian-skip generation, results show that there is no significant relationship between parental efficacy and social support. As well as no correlation across subscales of social support.
CONCLUSION
The positive relationships between social support and parental efficacy are important for planning and applying parenting programmes amongst single teen mothers and facilitating awareness regarding the importance of social support and family forms when considering parenting practices.
背景
青少年生育被认为是南非最大的健康和社会问题之一。南非的研究表明，18 岁以下的青少年中，超过 30%的人至少生育过一次。青少年母亲可能会感到无能为力，因为她们被“他者化”，因此，可能会形成各种形式的反抗，这在大多数情况下可能会抑制她们的育儿能力。因此，社会支持是成功育儿的必要干预措施，但在南非，这一点还不是很清楚。本研究旨在比较不同家庭形式的单身青少年母亲的父母效能感与社会支持系统之间的关系。
方法
采用横断面比较相关设计的定量方法，对居住在一个低社会经济社区家庭中的 160 名单身青少年母亲进行研究。参与者完成了一份自我报告问卷，其中包括社会供应量表和父母效能感量表。采用描述性统计和 Pearson 相关分析来研究数据。
结果
发现社会支持与父母效能感之间存在显著的正相关关系。在比较不同的家庭形式时，与单亲父母同住的单身青少年母亲报告的父母效能感水平较高，与双亲父母同住的单身青少年母亲在指导、可靠和养育等子量表中报告的社会支持水平较高。然而，在计算监护人跳过一代时，结果表明父母效能感与社会支持之间没有显著关系。社会支持的子量表之间也没有相关性。
结论
社会支持与父母效能感之间的积极关系对于规划和实施单身青少年母亲的育儿计划以及提高对社会支持和家庭形式在考虑育儿实践中的重要性的认识很重要。
