    Area of Science:

    • Maternal and Child Health
    • Nursing Research
    • Adolescent Healthcare

    Background:

    • Postpartum care models significantly impact adolescent mothers' experiences.
    • Rooming-in, where mother and infant share a room, is a common postpartum care approach.
    • Adolescent mothers face unique challenges in infant care and require tailored support.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare rooming-in versus traditional postpartum care for adolescent mothers.
    • To assess the impact on infant care instruction, maternal perception, and skill comfort.
    • To evaluate maternal satisfaction with nursing care in different postpartum settings.

    Main Methods:

    • A comparative study involving 64 postpartum adolescents.
    • Interviews conducted at 2 days and 4 weeks postpartum.
    • Utilized six validated measurement instruments to assess key outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Adolescent mothers in rooming-in settings received significantly more cord care instruction (p < .01).
    • Rooming-in mothers perceived their infants as crying less at both 2 days and 4 weeks postpartum (p < .05).
    • Mothers experiencing rooming-in reported significantly higher satisfaction with nursing care (p < .001).

    Conclusions:

    • Rooming-in care demonstrates potential advantages for adolescent mothers.
    • Enhanced infant care education and increased maternal satisfaction are key benefits.
    • Further research is recommended to explore optimal postpartum care models for adolescents.
