Abstract
Abstract
Purpose: An essential component of asthma management is education. Parents often turn to the Internet, a 24-hour source of health information. Design And Methods: In this descriptive study, two researchers evaluated websites using eight core educational concepts developed by the National Heart, Blood, and Lung Institute (NHLBI) to determine the accuracy of the health information regarding asthma on the Internet. Results: Of the 68 websites reviewed, only 6 (8.8%) had accurate and complete information regarding asthma according to NHBLI recommendations. Practice Implications: Nurses must be educated regarding the selection of accurate websites on asthma so that in turn, they may educate patients and their families.

Desperssion among adolscent mothers enrolled in a high school parenting program

Abstract
Abstract
Depressive symptoms in adolescent mothers have been associated with a variety of negative outcomes for both the adolescent mother and her child. The purpose of this article is to describe the dimensions of the Beck Depression Inventory®-II and to provide a discussion of how depression may appear in adolescent mothers. This descriptive study involved 45 adolescent mothers in a high school-based parent support program. The average score on the depression inventory for the adolescent mothers was 12.27 (SD = 8.57). One third (n = 15) of the adolescent mothers displayed depressive symptoms. All of the adolescent mothers reported experiencing increased symptoms related to loss of energy, changes in sleep patterns, changes in appetite, and tiredness/fatigue. It is important for nurses working with adolescent mothers to understand that what may be perceived as a normal adaptation to motherhood may in fact be a deeper emotional issue such as depression.

Meadows-Oliver, M. (2009). Journal of Pediatric Nursing, 24(6), 458-467. 10.1016/j.pedn.2008.06.007
Abstract
Abstract
The purpose of this descriptive phenomenological study was to describe homeless adolescent mothers' experiences of caring for their children while living in a shelter. Eight homeless adolescent mothers participated in the study. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi [Colaizzi, P. (1978). Psychological research as the phenomenologist views it. In R. S. Valle & M. King (Eds.) Existential Foundations of Psychology (chapter 3). New York, NY: Oxford University Press]. Five themes were generated: (a) tough and troubling times, (b) acting out, (c) wishing it undone, (d) hostile encounters, and (e) steering clear. Nurses working with homeless families may help these young mothers cope with the demands of shelter living while keeping in mind that distinctive support needs may arise during different times of the homeless experience.
