Karleen, I found an abstract for the Smithbattle article on pubmed. Here it
is:
West J Nurs Res. 2005 Nov;27(7):831-50.
Teenage Mothers at age 30.
SmithBattle, L.
School of Nursing, Saint Louis University.
This longitudinal, interpretive study explored how teen mothers experienced
the self and future during a 12-year period. Sixteen families were first
interviewed intensively in 1988-1989 once the teen's infant reached age 8 to
10 months; they were reinterviewed in 1993, 1997, and 2001 (Time 4).
Twenty-seven family members were reinterviewed at Time 4. The metaphor of a
narrative spine is used to describe how the mothers'lives unfolded during
the 12-year period. The narrative spines of some mothers were large and
supported well-developed, coherent "chapters" on mothering, adult love, and
work. For others, mothering provided a "backbone" for a meaningful life;
however, chapters on adult love and work were less fully developed. The
lives of a third group of mothers lacked a coherent narrative structure.
Each pattern is presented with a paradigm case.
There are several other papers written by Dr. SmithBattle using date from
this same cohort.
