Abstract

บทคัดย่อ วัตถุประสงค์: เพื่อทำนายปัจจัยที่มีอิทธิพลต่อความเชื่อมั่นในการเลี้ยงดูบุตรของมารดาวัยรุ่น วิธีการศึกษา: กลุ่มตัวอย่างประกอบด้วยมารดาวัยรุ่นหลังคลอดที่คัดเลือกจากโรงพยาบาลในภาคตะวันออกของประเทศไทยข้อมูลถูกรวบรวมโดยใช้แบบสอบถามแบบกรอกด้วยตนเอง การวิเคราะห์ถดถอยพหุคูณ (multiple regression analysis) ดำเนินการโดยใช้โปรแกรม SPSS เพื่อตรวจสอบผลทำนายของตัวแปรต่าง ๆ ผลการศึกษา: การวิเคราะห์ถดถอยพหุคูณใช้เพื่อตรวจสอบว่าการบรรลุบทบาทมารดา (Maternal Role Attainment: MRA), เป้าหมายชีวิตวัยรุ่น (Adolescent Life Goals: ALGs), การสนับสนุนทางสังคม (Social Support: SS) และอายุของมารดาวัยรุ่น (Adolescent Mother Age: AMA) สามารถทำนายความเชื่อมั่นในการเลี้ยงดูบุตรของมารดา (Maternal Parenting Self-Efficacy: MPSE) ผลการวิเคราะห์โมเดลถดถอยโดยรวมมีนัยสำคัญทางสถิติ (F(4, 195) = 44.753, p < .001) โดยตัวแปรทำนายทั้งหมดสามารถอธิบายความแปรปรวนของ MPSE ได้ร้อยละ 47.9 (R² = .479, Adjusted R² = .468, Durbin-Watson = 1.852) ผลการวิเคราะห์ระบุว่าตัวแปรทำนายทั้งหมดมีอิทธิพลต่อ MPSE อย่างมีนัยสำคัญ โดยเฉพาะตัวแปร MRA (β = .513, p < .001), SS (β = .188, p = .001), ALGI (β = .183, p = .001) และอายุของมารดา (β = .117, p = .027) ซึ่ง MRA เป็นตัวแปรที่มีอิทธิพลมากที่สุด แสดงถึงบทบาทสำคัญในการส่งผลต่อความเชื่อมั่นในการเลี้ยงดูบุตรของมารดาวัยรุ่น สรุป: ระดับ MRA, ALGs, SS ที่สูงขึ้น และอายุของมารดาวัยรุ่นที่มากขึ้นสัมพันธ์กับความเชื่อมั่นในการเลี้ยงดูบุตรที่สูงขึ้น เมื่อพิจารณาตัวแปรทำนายพบว่า MRA เป็นตัวแปรที่มีอิทธิพลมากที่สุด การแทรกแซงที่มุ่งเน้นการเสริมสร้างบทบาทมารดา การตั้งเป้าหมายชีวิตเชิงบวก และการเพิ่มการสนับสนุนทางสังคมอาจช่วยพัฒนาความเชื่อมั่นในการเลี้ยงดูบุตรของมารดาวัยรุ่นได้อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ คำสำคัญ: วัยรุ่น; มารดา; ความเชื่อมั่นในการเลี้ยงดูบุตรของมารดา; ความเชื่อมั่นในตนเอง; การเลี้ยงดูบุตร Abstract Objective: To predict factors of maternal parenting self-efficacy among adolescent mothers. Methods: A sample of postpartum adolescent mothers was recruited from the hospitals in the eastern arena, Thailand. Data were collected using self-administrative questionnaires. SPSS software was used to perform multiple regression analysis to test the predictive effects of the variables. Results: The multiple regression analysis was conducted to examine whether Maternal Role Attainment (MRA), Adolescent Life Goals (ALGs), Social Support (SS), and Adolescent Mother Age (AMA) could predict Maternal Parenting Self-Efficacy (MPSE). The overall regression model was statistically significant, F (4, 195) = 44.753, p < .001, indicating that the four predictors collectively explained 47.9% of the variance in MPSE (R² = .479, Adjusted R² = .468, Durbin-Watson = 1.852). This suggests that the model met the assumption of independence of residuals. All four predictors significantly contributed to MPSE. Specifically, MRA (β = .513, p < .001), SS (β = .188, p = .001), ALGI (β = .183, p = .001), and age of mother (β = .117, p = .027) were significant predictors of MPSE. Among these, MRA was the strongest predictor, indicating its critical role in influencing maternal parenting self-efficacy among adolescent mothers. Conclusion: Higher levels of MRA, ALGs, SS, and older adolescent mothers’ age were associated with greater MPSE. Among these predictors, MRA was the most influential factor. Interventions that focus on enhancing maternal role attainment, setting positive life goals, and strengthening social support may effectively improve parenting self-efficacy among adolescent mothers.
