The present study focuses on the reproductive health care services in a Gauteng province clinic and pregnant teenagers' experiences of their interaction with the nursing staff. Six pregnant teenagers were included in the study. Data consistied of the participants' narratives regarding the health care services provided by the nursing staff. Themes from the narratives were identified and explored according to a Social Constructionism stance within the Postmodernist paradigm.

Faktore wat verband hou met swart tienderjariges se gebruik van kontraseptiewesMeyer-Weitz, Anna. 04 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / Summaries in English and Afrikaans / In an exploratory study variables influencing the intention to use contraceptives and contraceptive use of teenagers and the association between these variables were determined.A random quota sample consisting of 231 and 224 school boys and girls (14 - 18 years) were selected and the final investigating group were 315 sexually active teenagers. According to loglinear analyses the following variables showed a significant relationship with the intention to use contraceptives: attitudes towards the use of contraceptives, perceptions of accessibility and locus of control. Variables that showed a significant relationship with actual contraceptive use were gender, knowledge about reproduction and contraceptives, beliefs and attitudes towards the use of contraceptives, traditional values such as proving fertility before marriage and family size, perceptions of social approval of contraceptive use as well as perceptions of accessibility to contraceptives. An important conclusion was that an urgent need exists for effective sex education programmes and better access to contraceptives. / In 'n verkennende veldstudie is faktore wat verband hou met swart tienderjariges se intensie om kontraseptiewes te gebruik en werklike kontraseptiewe gebruik ge'identifiseer en die verhoudings tussen die faktore is bepaal. 'n Ewekansige kwotasteekproef van 231 en 224 plattelandse skoolseuns en meisies ( 14 - 18 jaar) is betrek en die finale ondersoekgroep was 315 seksueel aktiewe tienderjariges. Volgens logitmodelontledings het die volgende veranderlikes 'n beduidende verband getoon met die intensie om van kontraseptiewes gebruik te maak: houding teenoor die gebruik van kontraseptiewes, persepsies van toeganklikheid tot kontraseptiewes en lokus van beheer. Veranderlikes wat 'n beduidende verband getoon het
met werklike kontraseptiewe gebruik was geslag, kennis oor menslike reproduksie en kontraseptiewes, menings en houdings oor die gebruik daarvan, tradisionele waardeor'ientasies soos die bewys van fertiliteit voor die huwelik en gesinsgrootte, persepsies van sosiale ondersteuning vir kontraseptiewe gebruik asook persepsies van toeganklikheid tot kontraseptiewes. 'n Belangrike gevolgtrekking was dat daar 'n dringende behoefte bestaan na effektiewe seksuele voorligtingsprogramme en grater toeganklikheid tot kontraseptiewes. / Psychology / M.A.(Psychology)

Pregnant teenagers' readiness for motherhood: a quantitative investigation in Nkonkobe Municipality, Eastern CapePitso, Tsolo Joseph January 2013 (has links)
The issue of teenage motherhood has been a concern, globally, continentally and locally. The quantitative study assessed whether the pregnant teenagers were ready for motherhood. This report analysed the current positions of women whose first child was to be born when they were teenagers in the rural Eastern Cape setting. The structured questionnaires were given to 106 pregnant teenagers who visited the War Memorial clinic for pregnancy check-up and convenient sampling was used to select these respondents. The items of the questionnaire were divided into the following sub-topics: prenatal and postnatal challenges and roles and responsibilities of motherhood. The study found that most of the pregnant teenagers were aware of the prenatal and postnatal challenges but they were not ready to perform the roles and responsibilities associated with motherhood. The analysis of data was divided in terms of descriptive and inferential statistics. The binary regression model was used to assess the factors affecting the pregnant teenagers’ readiness for motherhood. The finding of this study indicated that most (about 79 percent) of the pregnant teenagers were not aware of the roles and responsibilities of motherhood In addition to being not ready to face the psycho-social challenges of motherhood. Hence they indicated low level of readiness to motherhood. The psycho-social theory of Erikson posited that children who had strong and intact psycho-social relationships with the caregivers might have a high possibility of acquiring their identity during adolescent stage and this will help them to interact both effectively and efficiently with their peers and the society at large. While those do had negative psycho-social development have a high chance of facing identity crisis/confusion. As a result, they might lead them to being victims of psycho-social interaction such as early pregnancy.

Experiences of teenage mothers on social support in Nzhelele Community of Makhado MunicipalityMagwabeni, Hulisani Bridget 18 September 2017 (has links)
MA (Psychology) / Department of Psychology / In South Africa, today, teenage pregnancy is on the increase, resulting in social and
public health problems. The Department of Health (2002) indicates that, nationally
16.4% of the teenagers become pregnant every month. The Department also states that
26.4% of Grade 8 learners, 13.4% Grade 9 learners, 12.6% Grade 12 and 13.3% Grade
11 learners, fall pregnant every month. Many of these teenage mothers are confronted
with various health problem, for example, HIV/AIDS, psychological (for example, high
stress) and social problems (for example, lack of parenting skills, neglect, poverty, and
low educational attainment). These problems have far-reaching consequences on the
mothers. For example, many teenage mothers drop-out of school, attempt to commit
suicide, as well as take part in prostitution and robbery. Many are unemployed and this
puts the welfare of their children at risk.
This research study was qualitative in nature. The exploratory phenomenological design
was used in this study to explore the experiences or challenges of teenage mothers on
social support as pregnancy interferes with all aspects of their lives. For example, it
jeopardises teenage mothers’ relationships with their parents who are the main source
of support for the young mothers. If this relationship is broken, it reduces the chances of
the young mother’s success. These factors contribute to an inadequate parent-child
interaction and diminish the infant’s development. Support during pregnancy and after
birth is vital for a teenage mother. If her future and mental health are to be bright, then
she needs to have strong social support. Non- probability sampling methods were used,
namely purposive and snowball sampling.
Pre-testing was done with four teenage mothers who had the same background as
those in the main study. Data were collected from six teenage mothers through semistructured
face to face interviews which required teenage mothers to answer a set of
predetermined questions. The question asked allowed probing and clarification of
answers. A tape recorder was used and the language used was Tshivenda. All ethical
issues were adhered to throughout the study.
Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to analyse the collected data.
The findings from the interviews were integrated to avoid repetition. From the analysed
v
data, the following themes emerged: Challenges experienced by teenage mothers;
Support system for teenage mothers; and Coping strategies for teenage mothers.
Analysis of data revealed that lack of social support for teenage mothers was a major
problem and this was collaborated by literature. These findings revealed that teenage
mothers experience many challenges compared to the support they get from significant
others.
In this study, the researcher found that doing field work with teenage mothers with low
educational backgrounds is very challenging because they do not understand what
research is all about. The researcher realised that there is more that South African
needs to do to encourage people to support teenage mothers. Whilst the work done at
Tshikuwi is appreciated, the researcher feels it is too little too late considering the
number of teenage mothers who continue to lack support. The researcher recommends
that teenage mothers who experience challenges should take the initiatives to start
projects that will boost their confidence. Teachers who teach life science orientations
should, in the meantime, focus on teaching learners about the consequences of not
having support either from family or partners and communities.
