Editor's Notes
I have an interest in Teenage mothers, would love to specialize in teenage mother/pregnancies when graduatedWhile I’ve been out on Clinical, been able to experience a lot of antenatal and PN care of teenage mothers and have noticed their lack of interest and knowledge on how important breastfeeding is compared to bottle-feeding.as well as their perspective of not really understanding what their bodies are capable of- wanted to know if social support and environment/culture would change perspectives on Bfing?? And see how important/influential their midwife is for them. Or if social support (partner, family, friends etc) had more of an influence.
Introduce the research question : )
The research results found will define what social supports are effective and can encourage the teenage adolescent mother to breastfeed successfully. The qualitative research in regard to this topic will be an emergent design, one where information gathered will be ‘emerging’ as the interview responses come in with the researcher, therefore making ongoing decisions reflecting on what has already been learned (Polit & Hungler, 1997). Advanced planning will be in the areas of:Site selection (where the study will take place) and types of settings.Identification of names and roles of the key people and midwives who can provide access to important data sources.Determination of the greatest amount of time available for the study, given costs and constraints.Identification of equipment needed in the collection and analysis of data found.The amount and type of people needed (if any) to help complete the project (Polit & Hungler, 1997).
Qualitative data analysis will be conducted. It is compromised of three areas: 1. Noticing: making observations, tape recording interviews where required, writing field notes and gathering documents. 2. Collecting: creating codes that serve to summarize, synthesize and sort out multiple observations made of the data, “pulling together and categorizing a series of otherwise discrete events, statements, and observations” which will be recognized within the data (Charmaz, 1983),3. Thinking: to “compare and contrast” each of the individual information from the teenage mothers that will be noticed, so to discover similarities and differences or find sequences and patterns (Squire, 2007). This process is repetitive and progressive because it is a cycle that keeps repeating. There will be times when, during the process that the researcher will be thinking about information and also start noticing other information in the data, then the data is collected and the new information will be thought about again, quite like a process that will not really stop (Squire, 2007).
1:what are the social support systems 2:The expected relevance, application and contribution that the research findings will give to midwifery practice, is the knowledge of the most effective support systems that encourage the teenage mother to make positive decisions about breastfeeding3:. In turn these support systems can be initiated, explored and encouraged when working with the teenage mother during her antenatal and postnatal care for optimal health of both teenage mother and baby.
