To explore adolescent mothers' perceptions of social support and the effects of parenting on their lives.
A descriptive survey design used a purposive sample of 78 adolescent mothers. The Adolescent Parent Perception Inventory (APPI) was completed by these mothers. Responses on closed-ended questions were analyzed by frequency distribution. Responses on open-ended questions were content analyzed.
The community services rated as very important to all respondents was medical care for the child, however, home visits by a nurse were seen as somewhat important to 40%. The responses "your mother" and "your child's father" were most often selected in the items on social support. The child's pediatrician was most highly rated for professional support. Open-ended responses to the impact on their lives reveal both positive and negative results.
More research is needed from the adolescent mother's perspective related to services and nursing roles in order to reconcile what the mother feels she needs with what she receives. Education is needed for fathers who are perceived as important sources of social support to the mothers. Nurses need to be able to support the growth opportunities provided by the new parent role of the adolescent.
探讨青春期母亲对社会支持的认知以及养育子女对其生活的影响。
采用描述性调查设计，对78名青春期母亲进行了有目的抽样。这些母亲完成了《青春期父母认知量表》（APPI）。对封闭式问题的回答通过频率分布进行分析。对开放式问题的回答进行内容分析。
对所有受访者来说，被评为非常重要的社区服务是儿童医疗保健，然而，40%的人认为护士家访有点重要。在社会支持项目中，最常被选中的回答是“你的母亲”和“你孩子的父亲”。儿童的儿科医生在专业支持方面评分最高。对她们生活影响的开放式回答显示出积极和消极的结果。
需要从青春期母亲的角度对服务和护理角色进行更多研究，以便协调母亲认为自己需要的和实际得到的东西。对于被视为母亲重要社会支持来源的父亲，需要开展教育。护士需要能够支持青春期新父母角色所提供的成长机会。
