The influence of social support on maternal attitudes and behaviors was assessed in 57 third-trimester adolescent women attending an urban prenatal clinic. Sociodemographic characteristics, social support, self-esteem, and feelings about pregnancy were measured by questionnaire. The support and influence of the adolescent father was emphasized. Social support was measured as a multidimensional construct derived by a priori and empirical procedures. The outcomes measured were the amount of prenatal care, attendance at scheduled postpartum appointments, and pleasure with the pregnancy. Stepwise multiple-regression analyses were used to assess the contributions of the predictor to criterion variables. Pleasure with pregnancy was positively associated with the receipt of assistance from the adolescent's mother, favorable opinions of friends, and satisfaction with living arrangements. Attendance at postpartum visits was associated with high self-esteem. Notably absent as significant contributors were sociodemographic characteristics, receipt of emotional and tangible support from the adolescent father, and expectation of aid from social-assistance programs.
对57名在城市产前诊所就诊的孕晚期青少年女性，评估了社会支持对其孕产态度及行为的影响。通过问卷调查来衡量社会人口学特征、社会支持、自尊及对怀孕的感受。重点强调了青少年父亲的支持和影响。社会支持被视为一种通过先验和实证程序得出的多维结构。所衡量的结果包括产前检查次数、按时参加产后预约情况以及对怀孕的愉悦感。采用逐步多元回归分析来评估预测变量对标准变量的贡献。对怀孕的愉悦感与从青少年母亲处获得的帮助、朋友的积极评价以及对居住安排的满意度呈正相关。产后访视的参与情况与高自尊相关。值得注意的是，社会人口学特征、从青少年父亲处获得的情感和实际支持以及对社会援助项目的援助期望，均未成为显著的影响因素。
