The purpose of this study was to describe the incidence of abuse among pregnant teens in the three developmental stages of adolescence and to determine if abuse was related to pregnancy planning, high school participation, substance use during pregnancy, pregnancy complications, and infant birth weight.
Prospective survey.
A total of 559 pregnant adolescents between the ages of 13 and 19 were interviewed. Abuse was measured by the Abuse Assessment Screen. Substance use was measured by self-report. Birth weights were obtained from hospital records.
Abuse was reported by 37% of the adolescents. In every age group, the incidence of low birth weight was higher in those who had been abused.
The high rates of abuse reported by both adolescent and adult women in this study emphasize the need for nurses in every setting to incorporate routine screening for abuse into their nursing assessments.
本研究的目的是描述处于青春期三个发育阶段的怀孕青少年中的虐待发生率，并确定虐待是否与怀孕计划、高中就读情况、孕期物质使用、妊娠并发症及婴儿出生体重有关。
前瞻性调查。
共对559名年龄在13至19岁之间的怀孕青少年进行了访谈。通过虐待评估筛查来衡量虐待情况。通过自我报告来衡量物质使用情况。出生体重从医院记录中获取。
37%的青少年报告遭受过虐待。在每个年龄组中，受过虐待的青少年低出生体重的发生率更高。
本研究中青少年和成年女性报告的高虐待率强调了各医疗机构的护士有必要将虐待常规筛查纳入护理评估中。
