Abstract

Becoming a mother as a teenager brings about various changes and challenges, particularly in fulfilling parenting responsibilities and adjusting to the role of motherhood. These circumstances prompt teenage mothers to employ various coping strategies to deal with the resulting pressures. This study aims to explore the experiences of teenage mothers aged 18–21 in using coping strategies while fulfilling their roles as mothers. This study employed a qualitative approach with a narrative study design. Three teenage mothers were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic narrative analysis. The results revealed three main themes: multidimensional challenges in fulfilling the role of motherhood, responses and coping strategies, and the role of social support in the adjustment process. This study shows that adolescent mothers use emotion-focused and problem-focused coping strategies, with social support and the presence of their children serving as important sources of strength. These findings provide a deeper understanding of how teenage mothers cope with challenges and use coping strategies as they fulfill their roles as mothers.
