Abstract

The qualitative research designs the objective was as follow to understand the adaptation and the condition of adolescents with unintended pregnancies to adapt to crisis situations. The data was collected from In depth interviews with five pregnant adolescents who had experienced unplanned pregnancies and faced crisis situations. The analysis of the data followed the miles and Huberman's guidelines. The study found that understanding of adaptation was observed in four aspects: (1) physiological mode, which includes appropriate food intake, sufficient rest and sleep, proper physical management, observation of complications and adherence to prenatal appointments (2) self-concept mode (3) role function mode, including love and attachment towards the child, responsibility in child-rearing, seeking information on being a new mother and (4) interdependence mode, including mutual assistance and encouragement. Understanding the conditions for adaptation to the crisis situation of adolescents with unintended pregnancies who were not ready for pregnancy involved accepting the reality, being willing to face challenges, and receiving support from people around them. These findings can be used as a guideline to problem-solving adaptation among adolescents with unintended pregnancies who were not ready for pregnancy, helping them to understand self-care and child care in all four aspects.
