A comparison of the perceptions of the mother-daughter relationship of black pregnant and nonpregnant teenagers.

This study examined the relationship between mothers and their teenage daughters in order to determine if there was a significant difference in perceived relationships between pregnant and nonpregnant mother-daughter dyads in a predominantly black sample. Results indicated that the nonpregnant daughters and their mothers felt significantly more intimacy toward each other than did the pregnant daughters and their mothers. However, correlations of the mother and daughter scores revealed that the intimacy scores of the mothers of the pregnant daughters were positively correlated with their daughters' attachment scores, suggesting that the mothers and their pregnant daughters were more in agreement regarding their relationship than were the nonpregnant mother-daughter pairs.

[Analysis of underage births among girls in the city of Poznan in 1996-2001].

Negative natural increase in the population, decrease of total fertility rate, as well as older age of first pregnancy are characteristic phenomena for the population of Poznań. At the other end of the spectrum there are cases of underage pregnancies where young mothers are emotionally immature and unprepared to act as a mother. An analysis of underage deliveries based on medical notes was conducted in Gynecological/Obstetric Ward in District General Hospital in Poznań in the years 1996-2001. In the research following factors were considered: duration of the pregnancy, maternal age, reasons for admission of the parturient, as well as neonatal Apgar score, birth weight and number of children delivered. Out of all deliveries there were 2.3% of underage deliveries in the period studied. Amongst the parturients the majority (60.4%) were 17 years old and 15 of them were multiparas who already delivered one baby in the past. There was only one case of twins. 75.3% were normal deliveries, 20.9% cesarean section--both between 38-42 gestational weeks as within the population of all parturients. Main reasons for admission were: the risk of premature labour, PIH, foetal malposition. There were 241 underage deliveries with one stillbirth. The weight of the majority of the newborn fell between 2500-3999 g. In 10 cases the condition of the newborn was considered serious and very serious.

Views of teenage parents on their support housing needs.

This paper describes how a group of health and social care professionals worked together, with support from a Research Development Support Unit (RDSU), to undertake a research project to give teenage parents a voice in identifying their support housing needs. The results informed local planning, and the support housing strategy. Data were collected from 25 young parents (20 mothers and five fathers) through semi-structured interviews and a small focus group. Routes into homelessness for the sample group are described, and their housing and support needs are identified. Key issues include the need to remain close to family links and support networks, help in applying for benefits, and support around mental health issues and domestic violence. Models of support housing were also discussed with the young people, and their preferences identified. The project has implications for practice in identifying at risks groups, inter-agency working, and areas for focussed work, including addressing the mental health needs of this group of young people. The project is an example of health visitors working as family-centred public health practitioners, collecting information in a systematic way, to inform strategy and planning.

Working with adolescents in a high school setting.

While the high school setting holds the best promise of employment for the recently certified athletic trainer, most student athletic trainers do not spend time working with the secondary school athlete. The athletic trainer must be aware of the stages of adolescent psychological maturity and be sensitive to the athlete's psychological needs. It is important that the athletic trainer develops strategies for dealing with both the athlete and his/her parents.

[Cross-cultural comparisons of the Parenting Inventory for Adults and Adolescents].

This paper compares the normative point count of the Parenting Inventory for Adults and Adolescents (PIAA) with the points of the fathers of a family (n = 336) and adolescents (n = 357) in the city of Guadalajara. The comparisons were studied in the four dimensions of paternity which have proven clinically and experimentally valid for detection of child abuse and maltreatment. An analysis of the points obtained by fathers of children in private and public schools, as well as the points acquired by Mexican female adolescents were compared with white and black adolescents (in USA), as well as pregnant and non-pregnant ones. The object of the study was to know the point count of Mexican females on the PIAA, and contrast the count with those considered normative and those of pregnant adolescents, who are considered a high risk due to paternal abuse. The results show the Mexican fathers acquire less points with respect to the adolescents, when compared with the respective normative tables. The significance of these facts of low point count is discussed in terms of identifying child abuse and maltreatment in the Mexican child population of different social and economic strata as compared with other risk groups.

Adolescent postpartum care: what daughters want and what their mothers expect to provide.

A cross sectional survey design was used to measure mothers' (n=36) expected involvement in the care of their parenting adolescent daughters and grandchildren after postpartum discharge, and to measure adolescents' (n=36) expectations about their mothers' involvement in the care of themselves and their newborns. Adolescents were first-time low-risk English-speaking mothers 15-19 years of age with low-risk newborns. No difference was found between the amount of care mothers expected to give their daughters and the amount of care that daughters expected to receive from their mothers, z = -.500, p = .62. No difference was found between the amount of newborn care mothers expected to give their grandchildren and the amount of newborn care that daughters expected their mothers to provide, z = -1.000, p = .32. Involvement of mothers in the postpartum care of their daughters and grandchildren needs further study, but with precautions, nurses may consider including mothers in the maternal and newborn care of adolescents.
