Date Issued:

Summary:
The problem of the study was to understand the experience of being cared for by a nurse during labor and delivery. The review of literature for the study examined research focusing on adolescents in labor and delivery, caring and adolescent pregnancy and caring from current nursing literature perspective. Recalled labor and delivery experiences were analyzed phenomenologically in order to extract the meaning of the experience. Five recently delivered primiparous mothers were interviewed. Interviews followed guidelines designed to elicit descriptions of nurse caring. Interviews were tape recorded and transcribed. Data were reduced through a search for themes, and analyzed using guidelines of Colaizzi (1978). The findings were discussed with four of the participants and they all agreed that their perceptions of the experience had been described. Results of the study produced an exhaustive description and fundamental structure of nurse caring.
