STUDY OBJECTIVE: The stigma perceived by adolescent and young mothers negatively affects their health and that of their children. This study aimed to identify the factors that influence the stigma perceived by adolescent and young mothers.
METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 247 South Korean adolescent and young mothers aged ≤24 years, all of whom had given birth and were caring for their children. Data were collected between January 2024 and March 2024 and analyzed using multiple regression.
RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 22.16 ± 1.80 years. Social support, place of residence, and knowledge of contraception were significantly associated with perceived stigma. The regression model was significant (F = 16.97, p < .001; adjusted R² = 0.34). Social support was negatively associated with stigma (β = -0.27, 95% CI [-0.56, -0.23]), while residing in a parent-owned home increased stigma (β = 0.30, 95% CI [3.72, 8.24]). Knowledge about contraception also reduced stigma (β = -0.18, 95% CI [-6.29, -1.51]).
CONCLUSION: Social support was a key protective factor against perceived stigma among South Korean adolescent and young mothers. For clinicians caring for adolescents and young mothers, these findings highlight the importance of nonjudgmental care, assessment of social support, and accessible contraceptive counseling. Although conducted in South Korea, this study may serve as a model for future studies examining stigma among adolescent and young mothers in other settings.
