Abstract

This secondary analysis explored how social support changed during the first 6 months postpartum and examined the relationships among social support, parenting competence, and parenting role satisfaction. Single, low-income, adolescent, new mothers ( N = 34) completed measures of perceived parenting competence, parenting role satisfaction, and four types of received social support (emotional, informational, tangible, problematic) from the entire social network at 1 week, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months postpartum. Results indicated that social support did not change over time. Emotional, informational, and tangible social support were significantly correlated, concurrently and predictively, with perceived competence and satisfaction at most data collection points. Future social support intervention studies using social support as a modifiable variable with this high-risk group of African American adolescent new mothers are advocated. Health care professionals are encouraged to examine existing social support within these mothers’ identified family units.

  • High levels of perceived PSE and social support help to facilitate smoother transition to parenthood, leading to increased parental bonding, parenting satisfaction, and parenting competence, and lowered risks of PND and postnatal anxiety (PNA).

    The Results and Discussion (page unavailable) report that emotional, informational, and tangible support were associated with greater perceived parenting competence and satisfaction among adolescent African American mothers. The paper mentions an enhanced mother–child relationship in its literature review, but does not establish increased parental bonding as a study finding or show that support caused these outcomes. PSE, PND, and PNA are attached to other citations in the citing sentence. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
