ABSTRACT

Thailand's adolescent pregnancy rate is the second highest in Southeast Asia. Thai expectant fathers are faced with a concurrent dual developmental crisis: being a teenager and becoming a father. They have many problems and the need for social support. The purpose is to find out the problems and needs of social support. The researcher performed a qualitative study with 20 expectant adolescent fathers and analysed with content analysis. The results can be grouped into five themes: (1) do not have enough money; (2) unemployed and need a job; (3) had no parenting skills and need more information on how to take care of their child; (4) stressed during the transition period and need psychological support; and (5) shunned by society because people often look down on adolescent fathers. Adolescent fathers suffer from a lack of support in many areas of life. If adolescent fathers receive more support from their social networks, they will be more able to manage their transition into fatherhood, provide for their newborns and care for their domestic partners. Our data may guide policymakers in developing support networks, mentoring programs and basic caregiving training as standard services in hospitals’ care for first-time adolescent fathers in Thailand.

泰国青少年父亲的社会支持经验和需求:一项定性研究

摘要

泰国的少女怀孕率是东南亚第二高的。泰国准爸爸同时面临着双重发展危机:青少年和成为父亲。他们有很多问题,需要社会支持。目的是找出社会支持的问题和需求。研究人员对 20 名准青春期父亲进行了定性研究,并进行了内容分析。结果可分为五个主题:(1)没有足够的钱;(二)失业,需要工作的;(3) 没有育儿技巧,需要更多关于如何照顾孩子的信息;(四)过渡期压力大,需要心理支持;(5) 被社会回避,因为人们常常看不起青春期的父亲。青春期的父亲在生活的许多方面都缺乏支持。如果青少年父亲从他们的社交网络中获得更多支持,他们将更有能力管理自己的父亲身份,为新生儿提供服务,并照顾他们的家庭伴侣。我们的数据可以指导政策制定者发展支持网络、指导计划和基本护理培训,作为医院护理泰国初为青春期父亲的标准服务。
