This descriptive research studies 579 women between 25 and 65 years of age. In a self‐administered questionnaire, women indicated their personal life goals/values and their satisfaction in achieving these goals. Through factor analysis, six major stressors encompassing 18 factors were identified: namely, love relationships, personal success, physical health, parent‐child relationships, personal time, and social relationships. Stressors varied with age groups, although one‐fourth of all women reported physical health was a major stressor. Women between 25 and 34 years old indicated that personal time and personal success were also major stressors. For women over 35, physical health was their primary stressor, followed by personal time.

This paper presents a review of literature for a research study, “Assessment of the Effects of Menopause on Individual Women.”; Three broad problem areas are identified: physiological signs and symptoms of menopause, psychological signs and symptoms, and psychosocial factors associated with menopause. The discussion of psychosocial factors also includes a review of general developmental tasks of the middle‐aged adult. The paper first includes a discussion of present knowledge about menopause. Second, the etiology of menopause is discussed. Third, a review of commonly recurring physiological and psychological signs and symptoms is presented, and last is a discussion of the psychosocial factors commonly associated with menopause.

The marital relationship involves a complex series of interactions. These are based upon the expectations and perceptions about oneself, one's partner, roles, and tasks. Pregnancy can initiate major changes in the marital situation within a relatively short period of time. This has implications for the sense of well‐being and satisfaction of each of the partners in terms of their relationship. In this study of 192 middle‐income couples attending childbirth education courses during the third trimester of pregnancy, the subjects reported positive changes in their overall perceptions of the marital relationship. Interestingly, mothers’ perceptions were more positive than were their partners’. This may be a function of the trend toward later births, and increased ages among first‐time mothers. The influences of anticipatory socialization that the childbirth classes provide in terms of role change and support systems may also be a factor. Further investigation is warranted to analyze predictive variables.

This descriptive study analyzed the relationships between women's age groups and their physical and emotional symptoms of stress and their usual coping patterns. Significant differences between age groups are shown for four physical symptoms and eight emotional symptoms. Younger women (25–34 years) were more likely to report these symptoms than women between 55 and 65 years of age. Seven coping patterns of women were significantly different by age groups. Younger women were more likely to use talking, rest/relaxation, and isolation, while women between 55 and 65 used working, religion, and ignoring the problem.

Much has been written in the last few years about the importance of early mother‐infant contact in order to establish the mother‐infant bond. The success or failure of this early bonding may have lasting effects on both mother and infant. Mothers give behavioral clues that indicate their progress toward mothering (bonding). But far too often the nurses caring for both mother and infant are so busy trying to meet physical needs that they do not spot those clues that indicate the possible need for nursing intervention. An assessment tool has been developed to help nurses assess the development of mothering by hospitalized patients 24 to 36 hours after delivery. It consists of fairly simple observations directed at the earliest mothering behaviors. The use of this assessment strategy should help nurses, both student and practitioner, to be more alert and sensitive to the needs and progress of postpartal patients toward the tasks of mothering. A warm, loving mother‐child relationship is a rich reward for moth...

This descriptive, longitudinal case study was based on interactions with a 26‐year‐old primigravida during the 5 weeks following her cesarean delivery. Data were collected by means of unstructured interviews and observations. Retrospective analysis revealed that the subject's dominant focus was the change in her body image following cesarean delivery. Initially perceived as less than ideal, her body image appeared to be one of multiple boundary intrusions, hurting sensations, inadequacy of function, and unattractiveness. During the immediate postpartal period, the subject's behaviors demonstrated progress toward attainment of a positive body image of an intact boundary, comfort, adequate function, and beauty. Cesarean delivery was a simultaneous experience of surgery and childbirth, and the subject's behaviors revealed her efforts to cope with bodily changes associated with the operation and delivery of a child. As the subject's real and ideal body images became more congruent, she gradually shifted her a...

The birth of a high‐risk infant is believed by many clinicians to result in the disruption of the dyadic relationship of the parents. A comparative, descriptive, cross‐sectional study was conducted to ascertain the relationship between dyadic adjustment, as a measure of the dyadic relationship, and parity of high‐risk mothers. A convenience sample of 26 mothers who had infants admitted to a regional neonatal intensive‐care unit was chosen, and mothers were assigned to three groups depending on the severity of the infant's illness. Each mother, at the time her infant was clinically stable, completed a Demographic Data Tool designed by the researcher and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale designed and utilized by Spanier (1976). Descriptive statistics and the Pearson Product Moment Correlation were utilized. A significant negative correlation (r = ‐.45, p < .05) was found between the total dyadic adjustment score of mothers who had infants with severe respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and the number of previous ...
