The voices of teen mothers: the experience of repeat pregnancy.
To explore the insights of young mothers with regard to their life aspirations, the changes in their lives as a result of parenting, and their beliefs of the impact of repeat pregnancy on their aspirations and life course. ⋯ Nurses may use these results to understand better the young mothers with whom they work, to develop intervention programs, and to support policies that attend to the needs of young mothers. By responding to young mothers' issues and challenges from their perspective, nurses may be more effective in preventing or delaying repeat pregnancy in the teen years.
