    • Abstract:
      Based on the findings from two qualitative studies, this article analyzes motherhood's meanings for those young women living in poverty. One study explored motherhood's meanings attributed by 25 mothers from 18 to 20 years old who had a pregnancy during adolescence. The other study examined social representations about the characteristics of early motherhood in 24 non-parents men and women teenagers, in order to understand the culture in which the young mothers live. Results suggest that motherhood represents a positive change for most young women and it structures their identity. The implications of these findings for primary and secondary prevention in this field are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
    • Abstract:
      A partir de los resultados de dos investigaciones cualitativas, se analiza el significado que adquiere la maternidad temprana en los sectores en situación de pobreza. Uno de los estudios exploró el significado que otorgan a la maternidad 25 madres de 18 a 20 años que tuvieron un embarazo durante la adolescencia. La otra investigación estudió las representaciones sociales en torno a las características de la maternidad temprana en 24 adolescentes hombres y mujeres no padres para conocer las particularidades de la cultura donde se desenvuelven las jóvenes madres. Los resultados evidencian que la maternidad constituye un momento de cambio positivo por la mayoría de las jóvenes y que cumple un rol estructurador de su identidad. Se discuten las implicancias de estos resultados para la prevención primaria y secundaria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
