Cultural factors associated with the management of breast lumps amongst Xhosa women: research
Abstract
'n Kwalitatiewe, eksploratiewe, beskrywende en kontekstuele navorsingsbenadering is gevolg tydens die studie van probleme wat deur tienermoeders in die suidelike Hho-Hho gebied van Swaziland ondervind is. Die bevindinge van getranskribeerde in-diepte persoonlike onderhoude het aangetoon dat die grootste probleem wat die deelnemers ondervind het, toegeskryf kan word aan 'n gebrek aan kennis, raad en emosionele ondersteuning voor, gedurende en na hulle swangerskappe. Ouers, metgeselle, portuurgroepe, gesondheidspersoneel, onderwysers, kerkleiers en gemeenskappe het in gebreke gebly om hulle met kennis en vaardighede te bemagtig om swangerskappe te voorkom of moederskap te vergemaklik. Die gebrek aan ondersteuning het 'n impak gehad op die sosiale, kulturele, geestelike, ekonomiese en opvoedkundige dimensies van die tienermoeders. Hierdie gevolge het probleme vir die tienermoeders, hulle gesinne en hulle gemeenskappe veroorsaak wat deur multidissiplinêre benaderings en intersektorale samewerking aangespreek kan word.
