This qualitative descriptive research aimed to explore the self-care experiences during pregnancy of Muslim adolescents in Three Southern Border Provinces. Twenty participants were first-time Muslim mothers who had pregnancy experiences under 20 years of age. Participants were
selected by purposive sampling with inclusion criteria. Data were collected from in-depth interview until data saturation. Content analysis was used to analyze the data. Peer debriefing and member checking were employed to enhance the trustworthiness of the data.
The findings revealed 3 main themes of self-care experiences during pregnancy of Muslim adolescents in Three Southern Border Provinces: (1) self-care in Islamic way, (2) self-care in local community way, and (3) self-care in conventional medicine. The findings will aid in understanding self-care during pregnancy of Muslim adolescents among the Three Southern Border Provinces. Health care personnel are recommended to apply Islamic way, local community way, and conventional medicine as a guide to educate and manage an appropriate program so that self-care during pregnancy of Muslim adolescents would be promoted based on the cultural diversity.
