ประสบการณ์การดูแลตนเองระหว่างตั้งครรภ์ของสตรีวัยรุ่นมุสลิม

Abstract

This qualitative descriptive research aimed to explore the self-care experiences during pregnancy of Muslim adolescents. Twenty participants were first-time Muslim mothers who had pregnancy experiences under 20 years of age. Participants were selected by purposive sampling with inclusion criteria. Data were collected from in-depth interview and analyzed using content analysis. The findings revealed 3 main themes of self-care experiences during pregnancy of Muslim adolescents: (1) self-care in Islamic way, (2) self-care in local community way, and (3) self-care in conventional medicine. The findings will aid in understanding self-care during pregnancy of Muslim adolescents among the three southern border provinces. Health care personnel are recommended to apply Islamic way, local community way, and conventional medicine as a guide to educate and manage an appropriate program so that self-care during pregnancy of Muslim adolescents would be promoted based on the cultural diversity.
