To describe selected outcomes and maternal perceptions of adolescent parenting.
Qualitative and quantitative methods, interview, and two standardized instruments were combined in this follow-up study of adolescents who received perinatal services between 1985 and 1988.
Data were collected in the mothers' homes.
Mothers who were randomly selected for an earlier chart outcome audit (N = 98) and could be located (n = 19).
Subsequent pregnancies; school completion; children's development, indicated by the Developmental Profile II (DPII); parental attitudes, indicated by the Adult-Adolescent Parenting Inventory (AAPI); and maternal perceptions.
Responses revealed irregular use of contraceptives as one reason for the initial pregnancy and for subsequent unplanned pregnancies. Sixteen mothers completed high school, and 18 intend to complete postsecondary programs. The DPII indicated age-appropriate development of the children. AAPI scores for 84% of the mothers indicated nonnurturing attitudes. Mothers described family support, motherhood, and their children.
Research is needed with larger samples and to test interventions to promote regular use of contraception. Findings support the need for research-based programs to educate and promote the development of adolescent mothers and their children.
描述青少年为人父母的特定结果及母亲的看法。
在这项对1985年至1988年间接受围产期服务的青少年进行的随访研究中，结合了定性和定量方法、访谈以及两种标准化工具。
在母亲家中收集数据。
从早期病历结果审计中随机选取的母亲（N = 98），且能够找到的（n = 19）。
后续妊娠；学业完成情况；儿童发育，通过发育概况II（DPII）表示；父母态度，通过成人 - 青少年养育量表（AAPI）表示；以及母亲的看法。
回答显示，避孕措施使用不规律是初次怀孕及后续意外怀孕的原因之一。16位母亲完成了高中学业，18位打算完成高等教育课程。DPII表明儿童发育符合年龄阶段。84%母亲的AAPI得分表明其态度缺乏关爱。母亲们描述了家庭支持、为人母的经历以及她们的孩子。
需要对更大样本进行研究并测试促进常规避孕使用的干预措施。研究结果支持开展基于研究的项目，以教育和促进青少年母亲及其子女的发展。
