|a Adolescents are not abstaining from sex, and many of them are engaging in risky sexual practices. Mothers, in particular, can be a first line of defense by providing accurate information to their teenagers about sexual matters. The purpose of this qualitative, multiple case study was to explore the factors that contribute to, and constrain, conversations between adolescent females and their mothers about sexual matters. A purposive sample of three mother-daughter dyads participated in separate, structured interviews. The study examined the mothers' and daughters’ ideas about the meanings and effects of their sexual discussions, problematic communication patterns, and problem-saturated stories that interfered with their ability to have open and comfortable sexual discussions. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews and analyzed through a constant comparative method. A rich and detailed analysis of the participants’ subjective and socially constructed experiences led to a process-oriented understanding of how to improve sexual communication between adolescent females and their mothers. Findings of the study indicate that adolescent females are more open to having conversations with their mothers about sexual matters when they perceive their mothers as being open-minded, knowledgeable, and non-judgmental. The findings suggest that mothers and daughters become more comfortable discussing sexual matters if these types of conversations start in the early teen years and progress throughout adolescence. Future research should take these findings and create an instrument in order to test these results with broader population sections. |
