Abstract

It is a thought-provoking article which
addresses evolutionary aspects, along the history of
elucidating the word “transition’, its use in different
contexts of nurses’ scope, but this study ultimately
stresses the transition to maternal role experienced
by an adolescent. It also aims to elicit nurses’ 

mediation through caring and the puerperal teenage
being’s involvement in order to facilitate coping and
adjustment to the new role. It elicits the puerperal
adolescent being’s trajectory experiencing the
simultaneity of developmental transition, gestational
situational transition and once more developmental
transition after delivery. These stages are permeated
by transitional care, rendered by nurses, trying to
accomplish the underlying goals to change in a
healthy way.
