Description
Summary:This study focused on the experiences of 30 young unwed mothers, aged 15-21 years old. This was done by looking into the changes brought about by the pregnancy, feelings toward their situation and coping behaviors. The method used was descriptive exploratory. The respondents were obtained through chain-referral, they were either referred by the respondents or the friends of the researchers. Copies of a survey questionnaire were answered by the subjects, enabling the researchers to choose 9 young unwed mothers for interviews, it was found that most of these individuals regret. Although they claimed to regret because of the changes in their career and physical lifestyles, results showed that these aspects were interrelated with regrets brought about by the changes in their relationships.
