Keywords:

The objectives of this descriptive correlational research were to study the repeat pregnancy prevention behaviors and the factors related to the behaviors among adolescent mothers. The samples were adolescent mothers who attended the postpartum care units. 130 adolescent mothers were recruited by the convenience sampling method. The personal data record form, the Sexual Communication Behavior Questionnaire and the Repeat Pregnancy Behavior Questionnaire were used for data collection. Content Validity Index (CVI) of questionnaires were 0.93, 0.79 respectively. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were 0.86, 0.9 respectively. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient and Point-biserial correlation coefficient. The results revealed that the samples had average total scores of repeat pregnancy prevention behaviors in the medium level (Mean = 49.24, SD = 10.31). Age and family communication about sex factors were positively associated with total repeat pregnancy prevention behaviors at a significant level (r = .221, .327, p < .05 respectively) Nurses should promote family communications about sex could bring about better repeat pregnancy prevention behaviors which would solve repeat pregnancy problems especially in adolescent mothers at early age.
