A multivariate analysis of attitudes toward abortion : U.S., 1972-1977Popplewell, Christine M. January 1978 (has links)
This-thesis has examined abortion attitudes and trends during the 1972 through 1977 time span using such independent variables as age, sex, race, education, religious membership frequency of church attendance and• survey date. Log-linear techniques were employed to test the magnitude and nature of the effects of these independent variables on the dependent variable (abortion attitude).Data which was drawn from the General Social Survey (GSS) indicate the abortion attitudes held by the American public became more favorable immediately following the Supreme Court decision in 1973 and thereafter a plateauing effect of support occurred.Further statistical examination of the data shows that age, sex, and religious denomination are not significantly related to attitudes toward abortion and only small effects are noted for race and survey date. However, the two most important variables with the strongest impace on abortion attitudes are frequency of church attendance and educational attainment.

Mothers' Perspective of How They Relate to Their Young Pregnant Adolescents: An EthnographyRichardson, Karol January 2005 (has links)
Adolescent pregnancy and birth rates in the United States continue to decline, however, approximately four in ten adolescent girls become pregnant before they reach 20 years old (Kirby, 2001). There is a paucity of research on the perceptions of mothers and how they relate to their young pregnant adolescents (15 years old and younger) during pregnancy. This study describes the attitudes, values, beliefs, and cultural meaning from the mothers' perspective of the relationship with their pregnant daughters.
A descriptive design and naturalistic approach (Lincoln & Guba, 1985) was taken to allow the researcher to learn from people rather than to simply study them (Spradley, 1979). Audio taped interviews were conducted using a semi-structured interview guide. A non-random, purposive, convenience sample of five mothers of pregnant adolescents (ages 13 to 15) were recruited and interviewed when their daughters were 30 to 35 weeks gestation.
Three cultural themes emerged from the analysis: (1) mothers' relationship with their young pregnant adolescent daughter although somewhat conflicted prior to pregnancy, draws them closer together as the pregnancy progresses focusing on caring for and meeting the needs ofthe pregnancy; (2) reactions of mothers to finding out about the pregnancy have qualities similar to the process of grief/loss; and (3) mothers' advice to parents of preteens/young teens is to keep communication open and teach about sex and birth control, however, ifthe teen becomes pregnant, be there for her.
This study confirms previous literature and research about the relationship of mothers and daughters and adds groundbreaking new information about how mothers relate to their young pregnant adolescents during pregnancy. This study adds to nursing science insight into changes in the mother-daughter relationship caused by pregnancy and related issues of parenting a pregnant adolescent. The notion that the mother needs to continue parenting her daughter while she is pregnant is important. Further research needs to be done to explore the needs of mothers of young pregnant adolescent daughters. The risk status of mothers needs to be addressed, practice approaches need to be generated and developmental programs for mothers at risk may need to be created and tested.
