Therefore, authorities and health care providers
should facilitate adolescent mothers to return to
school and help them adapt to both roles. Nurses are
the key persons who can help student mothers to
overcome the situation of both mothers and students
by providing knowledge and promoting healthy
family adjustments. There is a lack of studies about
how adolescent mothers adapt to contemporary maternal
and student roles in a Thai context. Accordingly, this
study explored the role adaptation of adolescent
mothers who return to school during childrearing.
