A history of a preterm birth is a sig- nificant risk factor for a future preterm birth; therefore, nurses should provide ed- ucational information to adolescents re- lated to repeat pregnancy, risk factors for preterm births, and PBT. The majority of study adolescents reported kind and supportive caregivers for labor and delivery; however, adoles- cents giving birth before 38 weeks reported less support. Nonsupportive caregivers can contribute to negative birth experiences with long-term n tive birth memories (Stadlmayr et al., 2006)
